Tough call, as long as we have an FCC than I'd say yes, this falls under their purview. Solid argument could be made that this falls under the realm of interstate commerce and therefore is a constitutionally valid exercise of federal power.

If you are simply objecting to the general idea of government(any govt... local, or state included) being involved in this than I can see your point but I think that ship sailed long ago.

Yes, the latter.
