Get And Sign FCC Form 479 - Federal Communications Commission

Question 1

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) repealed net neutrality. How will this affect India and medium size bloggers?

Answer

The Federal Communications Commission of the United States of America, just repealed net neutrality provisions. This move was led by Mr. Ajit Pai, who is the Chairman of the FCC.With this move, internet service providers would be able to strike deals with content and other service providers, to charge more for specific content, or provide differential speeds for different content.In this video, we examine the concerns.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGjJwyeKJ78

Question 2

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wants to make it legal for phone companies to block unwanted robocalls by default. Do you agree with this?

Answer

There are problems with blocking of these calls by default, no doubt. There are also problems with the idea that detecting them is not 100% certain, so there could be considerable “collateral damage”.But the problem is, there is no other real way to stop them. There is simply not enough information available to do anything more than treat any incoming call with a suspicious caller ID as a bad call. Suspicious means the caller ID is that of a disconnected number, for one thing.There can be a few other hints as well, but none of these can really be evaluated by the cell phone handset. So how do you stop the calls? Charge for them? It is unlikely to work out very well and it would take years to implement. Passing laws isn’t going to work - there is no worldwide entity that enforces laws on everyone, not even the UN. These calls are mostly originating outside the US making it impossible for the US to do anything in a legal sense - the only solution will be technological.

Question 3

For taxes, does one have to fill out a federal IRS form and a state IRS form?

Answer

No, taxes are handled separately between state and federal governments in the United States.The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) is a federal, not state agency.You will be required to fill out the the necessary tax documentation for your federal income annually and submit them to the IRS by April 15th of that year. You can receive extensions for this; but you have to apply for those extensions.As far as state taxes go, 41 states require you to fill out an income tax return annually. They can either mail you those forms or they be downloaded from online. They are also available for free at various locations around the state.Nine states have no tax on personal income, so there is no need to fill out a state tax return unless you are a business owner.Reference:www.irs.gov

Question 4

While the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) controls the administration of radio frequencies in the US, how is the radio spectrum controlled on a worldwide basis?

Answer

There is an international treaty that addressed radio. It has been in place since radio became a real thing. Today, the International Telecommunications Union is the coordinating body. They started when telegraph was the only communications tool.Think about it: For communications to work, people have to agree on technical standards . . . Someone has to build consensus on those standards.ITU: Committed to connecting the worldOriginally founded in 1865 to promote cooperation among international telegraphy networks of the day, ITU predates many other standardization bodies and its long and distinguished history contains a number of important 'firsts', such as the standardization of the use of the Morse code and the world's first radiocommunication and fixed telecommunication networks.Study GroupsMuch of the work at ITU is done in study groups which comprise diverse expertise. Each study group has a specific focus and participants work together to define the frameworks that will ensure optimum functioning of all services, both existing and future. The main output of a study group is the establishment of technical standards or guidelines (Recommendations).Many study group experts represent competing commercial interests – yet within the walls of ITU, differences are put aside in order to cooperatively develop systems, share best practice, and formulate principles and guidelines that will serve the interests of the industry as a whole. By providing a neutral platform for global consensus, ITU offers a vital and efficient service to an industry that is already a main driver for social and economic development.Focus groups and other meetingsFocus groups provide an effective forum for members and non-members alike to address urgent, market-oriented industry issues that lie outside the mandate of existing study groups.Seminars organized by ITU attract high-level speakers and are an effective opportunity to learn more about a particular topic, while ITU workshops offer an invaluable forum for peer-to-peer exchange of ideas. Workshop outcomes can become inputs to study groups.These events, which are organized all over the world, are a very useful introduction to ITU’s work.Global meeting placeIn addition to member-only events and meetings, ITU regularly hosts global and regional events and workshops that are open to non-members. Considered by many to be the global gathering place for the ICT sector, ITU is famous for events like ITU TELECOM WORLD, which brings together the most influential representatives of government and industry to exchange ideas and knowledge for the benefit of all.By connecting the world and fulfilling everyone’s fundamental right to communicate, we strive to make the world a better and safer place.Developing skills and knowledge'Connecting the unconnected' is not just a question of putting infrastructure in place. Infrastructure has to be supported by effective regulatory strategies and policies and an understanding of future trends: technical, social and economic. ITU brings partners together to discuss these issues, share insights and best practice, and lay the groundwork for long-term industry growth. ITU publishes regular reports highlighting important developments and also has its own ITU Academy program which trains technicians, regulators, administrators and local communities in how best to use the power of ICTs.

Question 7

How can I fill out Google's intern host matching form to optimize my chances of receiving a match?

Answer

I was selected for a summer internship 2016.I tried to be very open while filling the preference form: I choose many products as my favorite products and I said I'm open about the team I want to join.I even was very open in the location and start date to get host matching interviews (I negotiated the start date in the interview until both me and my host were happy.) You could ask your recruiter to review your form (there are very cool and could help you a lot since they have a bigger experience).Do a search on the potential team.Before the interviews, try to find smart question that you are going to ask for the potential host (do a search on the team to find nice and deep questions to impress your host). Prepare well your resume.You are very likely not going to get algorithm/data structure questions like in the first round. It's going to be just some friendly chat if you are lucky. If your potential team is working on something like machine learning, expect that they are going to ask you questions about machine learning, courses related to machine learning you have and relevant experience (projects, internship). Of course you have to study that before the interview. Take as long time as you need if you feel rusty. It takes some time to get ready for the host matching (it's less than the technical interview) but it's worth it of course.
