The FCC has power to regulate the satellite operators. The operators want to do business with customers on U.S. soil. It is in their best interest to be cooperative. It took a long time for the FCC to permit local TV stations to be sent via satellite. The FCC rescind the permission to provide satellite service and to bill for those services on U.S. soil. They could also close the spectrum completely and reallocate it for another purpose. Your libertarian view of satellite operations doesn't square with the laws on the books.
Yeah, and there could be riots outside the FCC building too, which would be fitting. These _____ need to be slapped down, and slapped down hard.
