Continuing Challenges with National Security Reviews, Licensing, and Environmental Regulation - (PPT)

摘要

Department of Justice ("DoJ"), Defense ("DoD") and Homeland Security ("DHS") and Federal Bureau of Investigation (together, "Team Telecom") scrutinize applications for licenses and transaction-consent requests filed with the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"). Team Telecom seeks to protect critical infrastructure, protect government communications, preserve government surveillance capabilities, prevent terrorist acts, and deter money laundering and drug trafficking. Team Telecom does not act pursuant to any particular law, has adopted no formal regulations, and retains substantial power and discretion.
