In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) proposes steps to strengthen the reliability, integrity, and effectiveness of the Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD or Database) as a core component of its illegal-call prevention framework. The Commission proposed measures aim to ensure that RMD filings are accurate, complete, and current, and to safeguard the Database so that only legitimate, transparent, and accountable providers may enter or remain listed. Specifically, the Commission proposes and seeks comment on measures to clarify which entities are required to file in the RMD, enhance the accuracy and completeness of submitted information, and specify which portions of filings may be publicly disclosed. Additionally, the Commission proposes and seeks comment on new tools to prevent bad actors and noncompliant providers from accessing or remaining in the RMD, including strengthened screening procedures for new filers, improved mechanisms for identifying noncompliant providers, expedited removal processes, and safeguards to prevent unauthorized re- entry into the Database.

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) seeks to improve the administration of the Universal Service Fund (USF or Fund) by seeking comment on four areas related to USF administration: current USF administration processes, i.e., the processes used by Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) to administer the USF and the Commission's oversight of those processes; the structure of USF administration, that is, USAC's role and responsibilities related to USF administration; operating costs associated with USF administration; and the impact of USAC's Board of Directors on USF administration.

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC" or "Commission") adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that seeks comment on proposed rules intended to make the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) more resilient, flexible, and useful.

AI factories must support increasingly large models and more complex reasoning workloads. To keep up with the insatiable compute demands of AI workloads, hyperscalers and AI-native companies are developing custom AI accelerators, or XPUs. Deploying these accelerators at scale requires high-bandwidth memory (HBM) to keep compute fed, sufficient package and silicon area for more compute…

The massive growth of generative AI has fundamentally altered data center design. As distributed model training scales to span hundreds of thousands of GPUs, the scale-out network connecting these nodes has emerged as a first-order performance bottleneck. For decades, traditional off-the-shelf Ethernet has been the undisputed king of enterprise and cloud networking. It is cheap, standardized…

Traditional cloud infrastructure was designed for predictable, general-purpose workloads and standard interfaces. Agentic AI factories connect diverse users, agents, applications, data sources, and storage systems to massively accelerated compute at multi-terabit bandwidth per server, making dedicated DPU processing essential for line-rate networking, storage, and security.

The Department of Justice ("the Department") is implementing criteria to guide determinations for granting relief from disabilities imposed by federal laws with respect to the acquisition, receipt, transfer, shipment, transportation, or possession of firearms. The criteria are designed to ensure that the fundamental right of the people to keep and bear arms is not unduly infringed, that those people granted relief are not likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety, and that granting such relief would not be contrary to the public interest.

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) seeks comment on measures the Commission can take to better protect children when using E-Rate-funded networks, the Commission's progress in ensuring affordable access to high-speed broadband to and within schools and libraries, and whether the Commission's current interpretation of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is the best reading of the statute. The Commission also proposes actions to strengthen E-Rate program integrity and streamline program administration.

AI infrastructure spans multiple layers, from compute and networking to storage, orchestration, and applications. When performance degrades, identifying the source can be difficult because a symptom observed at one layer may originate elsewhere in the stack. A full-stack observability strategy connects telemetry across these layers, helping infrastructure and operations teams detect problems…

Storage is an active part of every agentic AI workflow. As agents retrieve enterprise knowledge, access persistent memory, reuse key-value (KV) cache data, execute tools, and generate new results, storage systems must continuously supply and preserve the data that moves the agent reasoning loop. Each agent step can trigger multiple storage operations, and those operations can repeat across…

The US government has taken one of its most significant steps yet to regulate advanced robotics, adding foreign-produced humanoids, quadrupeds and other mobile robots to the Federal Communications Commission‘s “Covered List” of technologies considered to pose an unacceptable risk to national security. At first glance, the decision appears surprising. The FCC is best known for […]

Update follows determinations by executive branch agencies that these devices threaten national security The United States Federal Communications Commission updated its “Covered List” to include two new categories of devices – “advanced robotic devices” (defined as mobile robots, such as humanoids and quadrupeds) and, separately, connected power inverters produced in foreign countries. The action follows […]

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC" or the "Commission") is proposing Regulation E-Delivery. The proposed rule sets forth conditions for covered entities to deliver covered information to covered recipients electronically without first obtaining their affirmative consent. The proposed rule further establishes conditions under which the Commission would consider delivery requirements under the Federal securities laws to be satisfied by electronic delivery. The Commission also is proposing to rescind the rule providing alternative means for registered investment companies to satisfy shareholder report transmission requirements, and to amend rules addressing the dissemination of proxy materials and tender offer materials.

Agentic AI changes the infrastructure pattern for AI factories. One request can trigger many model calls, tool calls, memory lookups, policy checks, storage accesses, and network transfers before a final answer is produced. As more agents run at once and carry context across steps, users, tools, services, and sessions, infrastructure must move, protect, retrieve, and reuse data fast enough to keep…

Spectrum is one of the most valuable assets in wireless communications. Over the last 30 years, telecom operators in the US have spent more than $240B to acquire wireless spectrum. A goal of a radio access network (RAN) system is to extract the maximum spectral efficiency (bits/second/Hertz) possible, which translates into more capacity, stronger network resilience with fewer dropped packets…

Telecom operators are adopting AI across network operations, customer care, and back-office workflows, but most are still early in the journey to autonomy. In network operations, for example, automation typically sits in the Level 2–3 band of TM Forum’s autonomous networks levels taxonomy, streamlining execution of predefined solutions in selective network domains. Reaching Level 4–5 autonomy…
