Regulating broadcasts is only justified by the technical limitations of broadcasting: namely, that there's only so much spectrum to go around, so you must license out slots so they don't overlap and get reduced to gibberish. Nothing on the internet broadcasts once you get past the node level (i.e. sending data to all your neighbours as you try to find an efficient path to the eventual recipient), so nothing on the internet can legitimately be regulated as a broadcast.
Is that even necessary? We tolerate it now, but there was a Free For All period in the past. I wonder if the market would solve spectrum allocation better - OR in areas where every frequency sounds like an annoying CB radio channel, people would do something more productive like read a book. The case is stronger for emergency spectrum reservations and ATC. That can also be done at the state level with interstate agreements. Feds don't need to be involved.
The free-for-all ended in 1912 with the Radio Act. It didn't survive until the first commercial radio station, let alone today where two-way wireless channels are ubiquitous.
