FCC Sets Agenda for April Meeting to Address National Security and Telecommunications
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced its tentative agenda for the April Open Meeting, scheduled for April 30, 2026. Key items include modernizing spectrum sharing for satellite broadband, enhancing 'Know-Your-Customer' requirements to combat robocalls, and ensuring integrity and security in electronic device testing. The FCC will also consider measures to protect against national security threats in domestic telecommunications services by excluding certain entities from providing services under section 214 of the Communications Act. Additionally, the FCC plans to establish a new E-Rate competitive bidding portal to streamline program procedures and amend the Audible Crawl Rule to better serve visually impaired individuals.
