So, I plan to fully explain the history behind the FCC in my defense. <br />The Federal Communications Commission was created under FDR and the Communications Act of 1934. It gave the organization the job of monitoring interstate and international communications. The FCC allowed for a fast worldwide radio and wire communication line.<br />I was also asked if the FCC could really control what is put in the media. Of course it can. The FCC has great responsibility within the media and what is placed in society's eyes. How do they control it? This is where we see the National Broadband Plan come into play. With this national plan of internet for everyone, they can watch and decide what everyone is viewing.<br />A couple weeks ago we were asked, "who controls the media?" I responded with the Federal Communications Commission, because it in fact controls most of our media today. Much information was taken from the website, www.fcc.gov. It shares a ton of information about the FCC, what it does, and the National Broadband Plan. It also has links to other webpages on the plan.<br />I got a lot of information and understanding from the video on www.broadband.gov/plan.Calliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06719801723462624591noreply@blogger.com
