Federal Communications Commission

The Federal Communications Commission restricted Chinese-made robots, emphasizing that robotics is a strategic capability for national security and economic competitiveness. However, the author argues that protection alone cannot establish American global leadership; success now depends on manufacturing, deployment, and scaling innovations. This requires focusing attention beyond software toward how Artificial intelligence is reshaping the physical economy through Factory SuperIntelligence.

A Fifth Circuit panel is reviewing a challenge to the FCC's rural broadband subsidies, which could lead to billions in cuts to programs for schools, libraries, and health clinics.
