The U.S. Federal Communications Commission is the agency that regulates wireline, wireless and satellite communications. They certainly have the ability to regulate any and all telcom traffic that enters or leaves the United States.
I'm sure other countries have launched satellites. It doesn't really matter. The key technology that permits outsourcing of American jobs to foreign countries is cheap telecom. The U.S. government can regulate and tariff those communications paths as it sees fit. A tariff on the cheap telecom path takes all the cost advantage out of the cheap foreign labor.
I think we're on two different planets here. You look at the U.S. government and see an institution that can assess tariffs on wireless phone calls from anywhere on the globe. I look at the U.S. government and see an institution that can't even keep a million Mexicans from pouring over our southern border every year, and couldn't even keep al-Qaeda from stealing four passenger aircraft and flying them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
While we're at it, why don't we take away the "cheap transportation" component that allows countries like China and Malaysia to manufacture things so much cheaper than us -- by draining the Pacific Ocean.
