Nope - The Congress can only legislate the “publicly owned” airwaves AM/FM/VHF/UHF. At least that’s what the law was when I got my FCC Class B broadcast license *mumble* years ago ..(Thanks to Rush).

So far, privately owned satellites, cables and Internet IPs are out of the FCCs reach ... (although the Internet is becoming more “grey-area” everyday as those in power in Congress, lust for more.

Of course, if private ownership goes out the window with some new “share the wealth” socialist redistribution, all bets are off.

Thank you! I thought that was the case, but alas, the mind numbing mundane has replaced any knowledge I have of “exotic” flavors of the law. :)

Socialism will prevail if Obama is elected.
