The airwaves are regulated as interstate trade. They're public only in that sense.

Freedom of speech includes all mediums. The FCC's power is derived from Congress.

You can't have 100,000 people trying to broadcast to the same channel. So it's a regulated "trade."

The Congress's power to regulate interstate free trade shouldn't be seen as the power to censor.
