Licensing

The San Andreas Communications Commission (SACC) serves as the regulatory authority overseeing the use of public airwaves across various media platforms within the state of San Andreas. Licensing is a cornerstone of the SACC's operations, and it plays a pivotal role in ensuring the orderly and efficient allocation of frequencies and the responsible use of these valuable resources.

Licensing Framework:

The SACC's licensing framework is designed to strike a balance between enabling diverse communication services and preventing interference and chaos on the airwaves. It encompasses a wide range of communication mediums, including radio, television, internet, and wireless services.

Types of Licenses:

    • Public Safety Communications: Public safety agencies, including law enforcement and emergency services, are granted licenses to operate radio communication systems crucial for their mission-critical tasks.

  3. Internet and Data Licenses:

    • Internet Service Providers (ISPs): ISPs are required to obtain licenses to provide internet services to consumers. These licenses regulate the provision of internet access, ensuring quality and reliability.
