What would baseband usage look like in a deregulated world?

I’m skeptical, but the question is honest. Without the (quite corrupt) allotment of frequencies and broadcast radio tech by the FCC and government, I’m having trouble envisioning a future that doesn’t end up back at the bcm/qcm/etc. near-monopoly … just via market collusion rather than state orchestration. Is there a better future there that I’m missing?

Yeah I'm honestly not sure. Systems of regulation (ie, achieving regularity) need to be developed that don't depend on the state.
