in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Commission can investigate how carriers run their business under this chapter. It must stay informed about technical developments in wire and radio communication, so new inventions can benefit the public. It can demand full information from carriers, and from people who control or are controlled by them.

This is one undivided rule. The Commission can inquire into how carriers covered by this chapter manage their business, and must keep itself informed about how that business is conducted and about technical developments and improvements in wire and radio communication and radio power transmission, so new inventions and developments can benefit the American public. The Commission can obtain full and complete information from those carriers — and from people who directly or indirectly control them, are controlled by them, or are under common control with them — whatever is necessary for the Commission to do its duties and carry out the purposes it was created for.
