ECA is actively opposing a new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposal that would make it harder for international exhibitors to bring some communications technologies to U.S. business events.

Why it matters: The FCC proposal would prevent exhibitors from importing, displaying, and demonstrating certain new and emerging communications technologies at U.S. events and tradeshows before those products have received final FCC authorization.

• For decades, the FCC has maintained a carefully controlled event and tradeshow exemption that allows these demonstrations while prohibiting the products from being sold or commercially deployed.

What’s next: ECA is organizing an industry coalition letter urging the FCC to preserve this important exemption so that U.S. events and trade shows can continue to be global showcases for innovation while appropriate national security safeguards remain in place.

• So far, more than 60 companies and associations have signed onto the letter, which will be submitted to the FCC by September 8.

A strong, united industry response to the FCC can make a difference
