In 1926, the Federal Radio Commission was established to help handle the growing complexities of the country's radio needs.

Up until about February 23, 1927, when the Radio Act was signed into law.

The Federal Communications Commission was established on June 19, 1934, to replace the outdated Federal Radio Commission.

In 1939, at the World’s Fair, when wireless television was debuted, the demonstration featured a special television created out of glass, to counter rumors that it featured tiny actors on a miniature stage.

To me, the “technical reasons” excuse was best shown in 1944, as the professor already mentioned, when the FCC got a couple of petitions with a bold proposal: toss every FM station off its assigned frequency and relocate the entire industry up the dial.

But in 1945, the FCC reconsidered and uprooted the entire band.

In 1948, the FCC put a freeze on awarding new television station licenses because the fast pace of licensing prior to 1948 had created conflicts with the signals.

A significant monopoly that was broken up by the Justice Department was the telecommunications monopoly owned by AT&T. After AT&T was broken up into a series of smaller companies, the government passed the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Yet by 2005, the regime called by its practitioners “mother may I” had been, at least in significant part, reformed.
