Regardless of motivation such as pressure from congress critters who are
lobbied by big money group owners etc., it is the FCC that makes the
official pronouncement.  The are pressured from two sides, the owners,
and prior court decisions. That's one reason the FCC is almost nothing
but lawyers today. They have to abide by not only the legislation, but
by the prior court decisions.
