You make some good points. It does make sense to have one standard for the nation instead of 50 for radio, tv, cell phones, etc. I do have to wonder why the FCC should have any involvement in a radio station whose signal does not reach beyond Arizona. If someone wants to establish a radio station in Ajo and only cover Ajo, why should they have to get permission from some bureaucrat in Washington?<br>

While it has been used wrongly in some ways, that doesn't mean your interpretation is correct. In fact it makes no mention excluding the rights solely to taxation/tariffs. In the case of something like Radio waves that don't pay attention to political borders, it makes sense for them to be regulated at the Federal level rather than the State. Unless, you'd rather have to find a router for your network that only worked in AZ...<br>

Commerce clause has been false interpreted to extend Federal authority. It was put in place to ensure there were no trade tariffs between states. Not to regulate commerce as large.<br>
