Therefore the government has broad rights to regulate use of the airwaves, and those being regulated have the obligation to obey the law. This is because the contents of broadcasting are not like typical products, but are thought and ideology. Broadcasters are regulated in virtually every nation, and compared to the print media, the electronic media is more strictly regulated.
所以政府對使用電波有高度管制權，被管制人也有服從的義務，因為傳播內容並不是一般商品，而是一種思想、意識型態，所有國家的廣播電台幾乎都同樣受到管制，與平面媒體比較起來，電子媒體受到的限制是比較大。
