Let's start by defining what an FCC license is. An FCC (Federal Communications Commission) license is an official authorization granted by the U.S. government through the FCC.

The FCC was created under the Communications Act of 1934 and later updated by the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Its primary role is to allocate radio frequencies for various uses and issue licenses accordingly.

With the growing number of devices and limited available channels, the FCC now plays a critical role in coordinating channel separation. This ensures that private users don't inadvertently interfere with each other or disrupt public safety communications.
