Major FCC Action: Help Shape the Future of U.S. Telecom Regulation
On March 12, 2025, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), under Chairman Brendan Carr, announced an ambitious new deregulatory effort dubbed “Delete, Delete, Delete.” This initiative, formally opened under GN Docket No. 25-133, seeks public input on which FCC rules, regulations, and guidance documents should be eliminated to reduce regulatory burdens and promote innovation.
This move aligns with the directives outlined in President Trump’s Executive Orders 14192 (“Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation”) and 14219 (“Department of Government Efficiency”).

What’s the FCC Looking For?
The FCC is seeking detailed feedback to identify unnecessary, outdated, or burdensome regulations that:
- Impede technological innovation or network development
- Disproportionately impact small businesses or entrepreneurs
- No longer align with current market realities or legal frameworks
- Create excessive compliance costs with little benefit
- Have been superseded by newer laws, industry standards, or best practices
Submissions should include:
- The specific rule(s) you recommend repealing or modifying
- A clear justification or rationale (cost-benefit analysis, legal basis, etc.)
Why This Matters
This initiative could signal a broad overhaul of the FCC’s regulatory landscape, with the potential to:
- Simplify certification and compliance for RF and telecom devices
- Reduce overhead for small and medium-sized tech companies
- Accelerate deployment of next-gen wireless networks
- Remove outdated legacy rules that no longer serve the public interest
Whether you’re a telecom manufacturer, certification consultant, startup founder, or consumer advocate, this is your chance to influence FCC policy. Your input can help eliminate barriers to innovation, reduce regulatory overhead, and ensure that the U.S. telecom ecosystem remains agile and future-focused.
