Shutting Down Without Funding
With the federal shutdown still in progress, the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION made public that it will wind down most of its operations on THURSDAY. THE VERGE reports, "Should its lapsed funding not be restored, the commission says 'all FCC activities will cease' as of mid-day THURSDAY, JANUARY 3rd, 'other than those immediately necessary for the protection of life or property, performing other excepted activities, or those funded through a source other than lapsed appropriations'.”
It's expected that most of the FCC’s employees would be sent home on furlough if this plan is implemented.
