Really? What possible jurisdiction does the FCC have over anything besides the broadcast industry? The whole concept of gov’t control over broadcast media is a huge infringement on the first amendment right of free speech – how is a television or radio broadcast different than a newspaper or magazine publication? There is some justification for controlling interference to broadcast signals from either other broadcasters, or unintentional interference (rfi). But that could have been handled by industry standards; it didn’t require the heavy hand of gov’t regulation. That is all water under the bridge, seventy-six years later. But the idea that somehow the FCC should get involved in telling the automobile industry how to run its business? Why, we might as well have the gov’t take over the automobile industry. Ken Javor Phone: (256) 650-5261 Agreed that the FCC doesn’t have legal standing to regulate the auto industry (despite probably having the best technical people for this particular assignment), but the USA is never short of regulatory agencies. Isn’t the National Highway Transportation Safety Board (NHTSB) already legally positioned to handle this requirement?
