Because the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is directly responsible to the U.S. Congress, the relevant members of the Senate and House of Representatives who are responsible for the field of communications have no worse influence on the FCC than the government!

While control of the U.S. Senate has fluctuated between Democrats and Republicans over the past decade, the House of Representatives has remained firmly in the hands of the Democrats.

John Dingle, one of the most senior Democrats in the House of Representatives, has held that position since 1981, when he became chairman of the Energy and Business Committee.

In fact, Li Xuan had no dealings with this committee before. At the beginning, the acquisition of RCA by Oriental Group, and the acquisition of the satellite business of Oriental Group by MCI, and the fact that Oriental Group became the largest shareholder of MCI Company were all reviewed by this committee!

There were no problems in the previous two dealings, but this time MCI wanted to promote CDMA as the standard for 2G digital mobile technology in the United States, but it was stuck with the Federal Communications Commission.

John Dingle directly told the media in public that the use of CDMA technology from foreign companies will pose a threat to the security of mobile communications in the United States, and he supports the promotion of similar standards developed by American companies themselves!

The similar standards of American companies that Dingle refers to are actually the D-AMPS standard supported by AT&T and the iDEN standard supported by Motorola.

These two standards, like the GSM standard being vigorously promoted in Europe, are based on the principle of time division multiple access, and are technically behind the CDMA developed by the Eastern Bloc.

What's more, the European GSM has also formulated at least 600 technical standards and specifications, and has begun to enter the stage of commercialization. And the D-AMPS and iDEN that the Americans themselves have engaged in are still only in the laboratory testing stage.

Motorola, for example, is still working hard to promote the obsolete analog cellular technology, which is often referred to as Big Brother. The reason why Motorola wants to develop a D-AMPS standard is to track the patent layout of competitors.

This is also the biggest difference between a large company and a small company! If a small company wants to get ahead, it often needs to risk its life to fight hard! While a large company has the ability to buy a few more insurances for itself, even if it does not find the right direction of development in the first place, there is still a chance to turn around and catch up.

For example, Motorola, although it was not the first company to invest in the development of 2G digital mobile technology, it has not been far behind. Therefore, Motorola in another time and space, although it has not been able to prevent the rise of emerging competitors such as Nokia, is still one of the most well-known mobile communication manufacturers in the world in the entire 2G era.

However, in this time and space, Motorola obviously woke up earlier, after all, its competitors Eastern Bloc have already hit their doorstep! But it is not enough to find the problem, it also needs to solve the problem, and what Motorola lacks most is time.

The reason why Dongfang Group's CDMA technology can become the world's fastest commercialized 2G digital communication standard is due to Li Xuan's foresight and huge R&D investment. Motorola has not invested as much in this area as the Eastern Group, and it started later than the Eastern Group, so it is also very reasonable for the two sides to open up the gap in technology.

Both Motorola and AT&T are far from mature 2G digital mobile communication standards, so they can only buy themselves time by dragging their competitors in other ways.

This is the real reason why CDMA technology is stuck with the FCC, and influential heavyweights like John Dingle jump out against it.

Of course, Li Xuan and the Oriental Group are not without means to deal with it!

According to the famous American Chinese Mr. Short and Tight, the founding fathers of the United States developed a wise system for the United States.

So where is the wisdom of this system?

Checks and balances!

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), for example, is directly accountable to Congress, so the federal government has relatively little influence over it. However, the five commissioners with the highest voting power in the FCC need to be nominated by the president. This gives the president a chance to exert his influence, after all, he is unlikely to nominate those who oppose him.

And after the president nominates a candidate, it needs to be voted on by the parliament! This gives the opposition party that controls the parliament a chance to fight, because they can veto the president's nomination!

In order to balance partisanship, the FCC cannot have more than three seats in the same party out of the five commissioner seats, which means that two seats must be reserved for opposition parties. And when the president nominates the opposition candidate, it is not an opportunity to win over and divide the opposition party!

Therefore, the system designed by those wise American sages has not only greatly weakened the possibility of the emergence of a dictator, but rather laid the groundwork for all kinds of contemporary American politics!

Of the five current FCC commissioners, Li Xuan has only two supporters so far. He still needs to win one more vote before he has a chance to force the proposal to make CDMA a national standard for mobile communications networks in the FCC vote by a 3-2 vote.

And now there is a commissioner from the Democratic Party whose term of office is about to expire, which gives Li Xuan the opportunity to operate privately.

"I note that Mr. Rodinow, from South Carolina, is expiring his tenure in the FCC. I wonder what Mr. President thinks about the successor to this position?" Li Xuan took a sip of coffee and asked Mr. Deputy Chief of Staff who was sitting opposite him as if he was casually.

Card smiled kindly at Li Xuan and said, "As for the question of Mr. Rodino's successor, Mr. President still needs to communicate with the Democratic leaders in Congress before deciding. If Mr. Li Xuan has a good suggestion, you might as well say it directly!"

The question of whether it is possible for Rodino's term to be extended for another term has been tacitly ignored by both sides. This Rodino is one of the three of the five current commissioners of the FCC who are firmly opposed to the CDMA standard, and Li Xuan naturally hopes that he will go as far as he can.

"Whether it is Asia or Europe, the new generation of mobile communication technology has begun to mature, but North America is lagging behind in this field! Whether it is Motorola or AT&T, they are only willing to consider their own interests, and ignore the interests of the public!

I hope that the President will communicate more with old-school lawmakers like Xiang Dingle when nominating a new commissioner for the FCC. Although his intention to maintain the security of American communications is good, he should not choke on food!

The Eastern Bloc and its U.S. partners, including the federal government, have always gotten along well and are willing to accept oversight within the U.S. legal framework!" Li Xuan said euphemistically.
