FCC Chair — Federal Agency

**The FCC Chair** leads the **Federal Communications Commission**, the independent agency responsible for regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. The FCC controls spectrum allocation (the electromagnetic real estate that powers wireless communication), broadband policy, media ownership rules, and telecommunications regulation. With 5 commissioners (3 from the president's party, 2 from the opposition), the FCC is inherently political, and the Chair sets the agenda.
