WASHINGTON, D.C. — The FCC has voted to remove 11 “outdated and useless” rule provisions covering 39 regulatory burdens, 7,194 words, and 16 pages from its books as part of Chairman Brendan Carr‘s “In Re: Delete, Delete, Delete” docket.
By taking this action, the agency “expeditiously deletes rules adopted in a bygone era” —including obsolete regulations on telegraph, rabbit-ear broadcast receivers, and telephone booths. And yet, the Democratic voice on the Commission dissented.
