Amazon’s new high-end tablet was introduced last month before securing regulatory approval. Its new Kindle Fire HD 4G tablet has received clearance from the FFC(Federal Communications Commission).
Though Amazon unveiled the tablet last month, it had not yet received the commission’s approval to sell the device, which is required of all new wireless communications devices to assure device safety and prevent spectrum interference issues.
Before announcing new products companies go through the process of securing FCC approval. However, attorneys and observers familiar with the FCC compliance procedures said last month that the agency was unlikely to reject or prolong the process, despite the inclusion of 4G LTE wireless connectivity.
