What challenges do new media communications technologies pose to the ability of the federal government to regulate traditional and nontraditional media?

What will be an ideal response?

As technology improves and the ability to rapidly publish information through Internet and social media sources exponentially grows, the ability of the federal government to place limits on content has also exponentially decreased. While the public airwaves are highly regulated, most modern media extends beyond the regulated airwaves to such mediums as cable and satellite television as well as Internet and social media sources. The traditional airwaves are quickly losing their hold on news, and information and new media sources are dramatically impacting the way in which media is broadcast as well as the content of the media itself. The bottom line is that the regulation of broadband, cable, and satellite media is much more complicated and less effective than that of traditional over-the-air media (radio and broadcast TV stations).
