Rosenworcel Raises Concerns About Halt in FCC Equipment Certifications

FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel raised concerns about the halt in equipment certifications caused by the federal shutdown. Industry officials said last week that has emerged as a concern with the FCC mostly shuttered since Thursday (see 1901040008). “Go ahead, take a look at the back of the nearest electronic device. You'll see an @fcc number,” Rosenworcel tweeted Tuesday. “The agency certifies every innovative mobile phone, television, and computer that emits radio frequency before they can head to market. Guess what is not happening during the shutdown?”
