CASE-IN-POINT: Just who 'owns' the Public Airwaves? In a certain sense no one. The government controls them to a certain extent, and sometimes acts as if it owed them, certainly it heavily regulates them, but they have no ownership in the normal sense of the term, and I'm not just talking about no formal title. In a sense its like the air over the US. The US government has sovereignty over it, but no ownership in the normal sense of the word. This is not the case with land, with the US government owning close to a third of the land in the US.
