Can This Be the End of Ham Radio Licenses?

President Trump has revealed a humongous new FCC deregulation initiative. In this video, I break down what this ham radio development means for broadcasting, communications, and more. As a result, the FCC Chairman Brendan Carr issued a public notice recently titled Re: Delete, Delete, Delete, seeking for the public to comment in an effort to identify FCC rules to alleviate regulatory burdens that are unnecessary. This deregulation initiative has the potential impacts to change infrastructure deployment, digital equity, and media company regulations.

FCC Initiates Broad Inquiry on Rules to Delete or Amend

In a Public Notice titled “In Re: Delete, Delete, Delete,” issued on March 12, 2025, the FCC is soliciting public input on any FCC rules in any service that members of the public believe should be deleted or modified “for the purpose of alleviating unnecessary regulatory burdens.” This is the latest in a series of similar proceedings going back to 1996, when the Communications Act was amended to require the FCC to periodically review its rules.
