Hello,
Regulation is a foundational element of value creation and destruction in the communications industry. The FCC’s regulatory process is complex, and the only way to access the data is through its ECFS (Electronic Comment Filing System). Our Substack leverages our web application to write topical articles on companies and proceedings. (SpaceX, AST SpaceMobile, and Anterix, to name a few).
Docket-Rocket.io is our web application, which serves as a mirror of the FCC’s ECFS. The web app leverages GenAI to distill valuable information from FCC filings, enabling more fluid and effective policy research. On Docket Rocket, you can personalize a dashboard to stay on top of proceedings. You can even receive email updates.
My background:
My name is Eric Stewart, and I’m one of the co-founders of Docket Rocket. In 1992, I joined Alex. Brown & Sons in the equity research division. Working for Drew Marcus, we covered the broadcast and entertainment industries. Our first report was on ownership deregulation in the radio industry. We led Sinclair’s IPO, among other projects. Eventually, I became an analyst, covering the satellite and cable industries. I later worked as an analyst for an investment manager, focusing on the TMT sector, with an emphasis on the broadcasting industry.
In 2017, I ran Entravision’s (EVC) Incentive Auction process. It was a huge success. We sold four stations for $264 million, or $4.20 per MHz-pop, compared to the broadcast industry average of $2.08 per MHz-pop.
The FCC has been a central focus of my entire career.
