This law is about managing the radio frequency spectrum. You might wonder what the radio frequency spectrum is. It refers to the range of frequencies used for things like radio and television broadcasting, as well as mobile phone communications. The law aims to oversee how these frequencies are used. You can think of it like managing a big shared space where different users need to coexist without interfering with each other. The goal is to ensure that everyone can use the radio frequency spectrum in a way that is fair and efficient.
