@AriCohn@masto.ai Real estate and broadcast spectrum are finite public resources exclusively allocated. That's always been the basis for regulating them: letting you broadcast on this frequency or build a house there prevents anyone else from doing it. Cable TV escaped the broadcast regulations because it wasn't a finite resource. Faux News leveraged that regulatory escape to create a propaganda network with the illusion of federal scrutiny forcing them to speak only truth. https://landley.net/notes-2017.html#04-10-2017
