My public interest comment was more for a good slogan than for a suit.
The act itself prohibits interference and prohibits the commission from
making rules to the contrary.
The Communications Act of 1934-Title III Part one:
It is the purpose of this Act, among other things, to maintain the
controls of the United States over all the channels of radio
transmission; and to provide for the use of such channels, not the
ownership thereof, by persons for limited periods of time, under
licenses granted by the Federal authority, and no such license shall be
construed to create any right, beyond the terms, conditions, and periods
of license. _No person shall use or operate any apparatus_ for the
transmission of energy or communications or signals by radio (d) within
any State when the effects of such use extend beyond the borders of said
State, or _when interference is caused by such use or operations with
the transmission of such energy, communications, or signals_ from within
said state to any place beyond its borders to any place within said
State or with the transmission or reception of communications or
signals from and/or to places beyond the borders of said State
Sec. 303 [U.S.C 303] Except as otherwise provided in this Act the
Commission from time to time, as public convenience, interest, or
necessity requires shall--
(f) make such regulations not inconsistent with the law as it may deem
necessary to prevent interference between stations and to carry out
provisions of this Act: /Provided, however, /that changes in the
frequencies, authorized power, or in the times of operation of any
station, shall not be made without the consent of the station licensee
unless the Commission shall determine that such changes will promote
public convenience or interest or will serve public necessity, or the
provisions of this act will be more fully complied with;
and so on and so on..
