Economics at the FCC 2022–2023: Satellite Marketplace, Broadband Data Collection, Drive Testing, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, and Broadcast Station Ownership
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is responsible for regulation of the communications marketplace and for management of the nation’s non-federal radio spectrum. During the past year, FCC economists have evaluated competitive changes in the satellite marketplace—including an analysis of the recently approved Viasat-Inmarsat and Eutelsat-OneWeb mergers. FCC economists also worked on the novel Broadband Data Collection and developed drive-testing methodologies in several proceedings. Further, FCC economists continued to work on the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Finally, FCC economists continued to work on issues in broadcast station ownership.
