Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has worked for nearly a decade in a bipartisan push to reconsider the best use of the 5.9 GHz spectrum band designated for automobile safety technology. Today she announced that the Commission will vote on final rules that will improve transportation safety and mobility by integrating advanced communications technologies into vehicles and infrastructure. The rules would allow in-vehicle and roadside units to operate cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology in the 5.9 GHz spectrum. C-V2X technology provides direct communications between vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and other road users such as cyclists, pedestrians, and road workers to facilitate, among other things, non-line-of-sight awareness, notice of changing driving conditions, and automated driving. https://lnkd.in/eemaxbjv

A Pennsylvania-based company has agreed to pay $6.5 million to resolve allegations that it knowingly violated our rules related to our High-Cost Program and submitted incorrect costs on the subsidies it received from the federal Universal Service Fund. Along with this settlement, the company entered into a compliance agreement with the FCC, requiring them to adopt concrete changes in the company’s internal controls and implement comprehensive oversight and monitoring mechanisms. These actions are result of a coordinated effort between our Office of Inspector General, with assistance from our Office of General Counsel with the Justice Department’s Civil Division, Commercial Litigation Branch, Fraud Section; and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania. https://lnkd.in/gbSfxCZK

"You should simply say if AI was used. It's nothing more complicated than that. We are proposing transparency. It's very simple, was AI used? Yes or no?" -Chairwoman Rosenworcel on increasing transparency in AI political ads. Increasing transparency is a good thing. If a candidate or issue campaign used AI to create an ad, they should share that. Our proposal to disclose the use of AI in political TV and radio ads will make sure that happens.

Today we announced a $36.4 million consumer investigation settlement against a company who unlawfully retained call content involving services for consumers with disabilities including users of the Telephone Relay Service (TRS). As a result of our Enforcement Bureau’s investigation, the company must implement a comprehensive privacy and data protection program with significant financial resources dedicated to improvements. TRS uses technology and/or communications assistants to enable millions of consumers in the United States who are deaf, hard of hearing, deafblind, or have speech disabilities to utilize the telecommunications system to make and receive calls. https://lnkd.in/ez3-cgp6

Earlier today, we discussed OSC’s role in pre-mission debris mitigation. We now turn to post-mission efforts to address the debris problem, including satellite mission extension and active debris removal. 🔹 Mission extension refers to refueling satellites, or attaching fuel/propellant systems to them, so they can continue operating for years and/or maneuver to avoid collisions. This limits generation of new debris objects and new satellite traffic. 🔹 Active debris removal (ADR), or debris remediation, refers to the capture of space objects so they can be towed to disposal orbits (graveyard or reentry) or even salvaged for reuse. The commercial space industry has innovated many new technologies for mission extension and ADR, some of which are operational or being demonstrated at this time. OSC advocates within the U.S. government for policies that support these commercial endeavors, including policies on in-space servicing, assembly, manufacturing (ISAM) and rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO). Under The White House's legislative proposal for novel space mission authorization and supervision, OSC would become the main regulatory authority for many commercial missions involving mission extension and ADR. #SpaceTrafficCoordination
