This legislation, titled the FREEDOM Act, requires the Secretary of State to produce a comprehensive report on internet freedom in Iran within 120 days of enactment. This report, developed in consultation with the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of the Treasury, will update and supplement a previous report mandated by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025. The updated report must include a detailed assessment of the feasibility of using direct-to-cell wireless communications technologies to expand internet access for the Iranian people, considering technical, regulatory, and security aspects. It also requires an analysis of how drone-based platforms and signal jamming technologies could affect the viability and resilience of such communications. Furthermore, the report will survey terrestrial and non-terrestrial telecommunications service providers in Iran, examining their ownership structures, foreign investment, and the implications for communications freedom and censorship.
