Regulating communications is not an enumerated power in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution. Therefore the FCC is unconstitutional and must be abolished.
The FCC should be arrested for violating the constitution.
If I were a preacher, I would kick the FCC out of service so hard they would BOUNCE 50 feet with the wrath of G-d movin em along.
This has nothing to do with churches. The FCC is not targeting preachers.
The 700 MHZ band was changed to public service as part of the digital TV switchover and all microphone systems using that band have to be shut off. This affects all users, including theaters and TV news crews. There have been a lot of changes in frequency spectrum use that has affected all types of users including police and fire departments.
Unfortunately, even though this has been in the works for many years, some unscrupulous companies continued to sell these microphone systems despite the impending ban.
There are plenty of new microphone systems that comply with the law.
And no one is going to show up and drag you minister off in handcuffs.
Sometimes, I wonder if liberals are writing this stuff to make conservatives look bad.
Emergency personnel use this frequency and the FCC is trying to free up that band specifically for emergency services, but it has been used local organizations theaters, schools, conference centers, theme parks, churches.Other frequency are available.
