The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent regulatory agency in the United States that is responsible for overseeing and regulating communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. While the term "FCC" is widely recognized and used, there are several synonyms for the agency that are also commonly used. These include "Federal Comms Commission," "Federal Commissions Commission," and "Federal Radio Commission." Additionally, some may refer to the FCC as simply "the Communications Commission" or "the Regulator of Communications." Regardless of the terminology used, the FCC plays a critical role in ensuring that communication services are accessible, affordable, and safe for all Americans.
