MR. Engineer, meet the FCC

Engineers working in the field of communications should be knowledgeable of how the Federal Communications Commission can and does affect their company, their products, and their customers. Moreover, they should know how to communicate with the Commission on any matter of mutual importance. It is the intent of this paper, by way of a straightforward description of the Commission\´s structure and functions, to overcome the unfortunate lack of familiarity which seems to exist on this subject within our professional ranks. The relation of engineer to lawyer as well as engineer to engineer is also discussed. A cursory review of the non-technical offices completes and ties together this elementary course of "What Every Engineer Should Know About the FCC."
