I'm not rolling anywhere. It's the law and has been since 1934 when the old FRC (Federal Radio Commission), the precursor of today's FCC was formed to end the "chaos" that radio was in back then.
I'm not crazy about the selective enforcement.
Here's my point, though. Just because you or I or anyone else thinks something is OK, that doesn't make it so.
The "public" is big, and if it really does "own" the airwaves, then the government has every right to enforce it's laws and regulations.
If you don't like it --- watch cable. Although some of the more conservative members of congress are pushing to give FCC regulatory powers over cable as well.
