You really cants regulate the internet as the protocols cant be controlled past what the ISPs already have control over. IPv4, IPv6, IPv8, TCPIP, etc all have set standards that have no frequencies or anything like tv and radio that can ben regulated. IPv8 is usually medical, Google, and major server hosts. IPv6 is smaller server hosts, and some general users now as ISPs upgrade standards before IPv4 runs out of numbers. IPv4 is an old standard used for us the users that will be hitting a brick wall soon (under 200? days till we run out of IPv4 IP addresses). TCPIP protocol is what controls everything.
Also, all the USA, China, etc have the power to do is setup firewalls and destroy domain names. IP addresses and proxy servers handle all these quite well. And they cant make it illegal for an individual to use either of these.
Only way to stop things would be to shut down the internet, which cant happen do to how things work, and even if they could a black internet would take its place. I;m fairly sure we can figure out how to modify things to create protocols like IPv5 and IPv7.
As for TV, it had to happen. Analog signals were jamming up radio and cell phone waves. Selling off analog tv signals to radio and cell phone providers is actually a smart and financially responsible move for the government (shockingly).
