Could President-Elect Trump End Up Giving Part15 a Power Boost?

Carl Blare · 2024-11-07T07:11:04Z

I'm only thinking aloud at this point, but I was thinking about how Trump is very active on de-regulation. Sure, the Federal Communications Commission answers to Congress, a separate branch of government from the presidency, but is it not true that the president fills vacancies on the commission? The same way he appoints judges to the Supreme Court? If Trump could get the notion that Part15 radio gives voice to the people, he might be incited to rant and rave about giving access to ordinary people through license free broadcast privileges, on the ground that the airwaves belong to the public. We might get our watt on AM or whatever it is we want on FM. It would be ironic if politics could provide a gift to our benefit given how we sidestep and shun politics.

... While it is true that the Part 15 section of the FCC rules pertain to interference mitigation, is it not then contradictory to mention 'intentional radiators'? In other words it is legal to cause interference (intentional radiator) while at the same rime 'you may not cause interference'.
