I have to seriously disagree with you on this one DXR88. Forcing and perpetuating monopolies of telephony and television companies is definitely not in the FCCs charter. Nor do we need them to shut down free speech in the name of "localism" or "fairness". They don't have the authority to regulate the internet, dictate political correctness, shut down opposing political views, or dictate what communications technologies are allowed into my house or how they're used. The FCCs charter was simply to coordinate the organization RF signals when radio and television were new and to facilitate competition and growth in the usage of these signals.

If the air waves are not regulated then every wireless device would cross talk or worse massive incompatibility, there is a need for such regulations to be put in place.

the FCC regulates what devices go on what frequency not what belongs on that frequency.
