One of Futron’s key regulatory services is our online database, FCCFilings.com, a rich source for competitive intelligence, business, financial, and technical data contained in Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) satellite licensing documents. Professionals in all areas of the satellite industry subscribe to FCCFilings.com to ensure they are always up to date on current regulations as well as competitors’ activities.
Every satellite operated in the U.S. or by a U.S.-licensed company is required to file an application with the FCC. Once these applications are filed, other parties can comment on the applications. In addition, the FCC solicits comments on non-party-specific subjects, which are organized in dockets. All satellite-related applications, comments, and dockets filed since 1990 are available online via FCCFilings.com.
A single-password subscription to the FCCFilings.com service includes:
- Unlimited access to the online database of satellite-related documents, updated daily
- Weekly distribution of the Satellite Regulatory Update, a newsletter summary of every satellite-related filing for the week
- Periodic research reports
- Access to our knowledgeable staff of regulatory, legal, and business analysts for research support and specific data queries
