The "Feasibility Review of Emerging Equipment for Digital Open Media Act," or FREEDOM Act , mandates a comprehensive report on internet freedom in Iran. This report, to be prepared by the Secretary of State in consultation with the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of the Treasury, must be submitted to Congress within 120 days of the Act's enactment. The report will update and supplement a previous assessment, focusing on the feasibility of using direct-to-cell wireless communications technologies to expand internet access for the Iranian people. It will analyze technical, regulatory, and security considerations, including the impact of drone-based platforms and signal jamming technologies on such initiatives. Additionally, the report requires a survey of terrestrial and non-terrestrial telecommunications service providers in Iran, examining their ownership, foreign investment, and implications for communications freedom and censorship.
