The FCC owns the rights to the radio spectrum in this country. They
are the ones authorized to sell spectrum to people with a legitimate
need. It's no different than government owned land.

Your car is yours as is your radio gear. But the privilege to operate
both is granted by the government, and can be revoked for the proper
cause.

Another way to look at it. You own your car, but not the roads you
drive on. You may own your radio, but not the airwaves you broadcast
on.
