Brantl At its April 20, 2023 Open Meeting, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC" or "Commission") adopted an Order imposing a one-time ownership-related data request to which all holders of Section 214 authority to provide international telecommunications services (i.e., common carrier services between U.S. and non-U.S. points) ("International 214 Holders") must respond ("Data Request"). The due date is not yet known because the Order must first be reviewed and approved by the Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") because responses to the data request will involve data collection by the FCC. Noncompliance will subject International 214 Holders to potential monetary and other penalties up to and including license revocation. https://www.mondaq.com/article/news/1312098?q=1803232&n=782&tp=11&tlk=3&lk=55

Kung , T. Scott Thompson and Christen B'Anca Glenn The wireless industry has revolutionized the way we connect, from facilitating teleworking, distance learning, and telemedicine to allowing the American public to interact virtually in almost all other aspects of their daily lives. Leading policymakers – federal regulators and legislators – are making it a top priority to ensure that the wireless industry has the tools and resources it needs to keep pace with this evolving landscape. This blog provides monthly updates on actions by federal regulatory bodies responsible for communications policy and Congressional efforts to support wireless connectivity. And this month, we highlight the opportunity for interested parties to obtain up to $140.5 million under the Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund for research activities related to wireless network technologies. https://www.mondaq.com/article/news/1312338?q=1803232&n=782&tp=11&tlk=11&lk=63
