Yes. It is. It was deregulated in 1996. Do you not remember?

So I can set up a TV station tomorrow if I have the equipment? Nope. It's still regulated.

Wow. You are an idiot.

Deregulation doesn't mean free-for-all. It means the removal of restrictions on the economic aspects of various companies. As in, you can buy as many of company X as you like. Not that your fucking company can just go dump toxic waste in the river or building a high-powered tv transmitter to hijack broadcasts.
