Sorry, I don't see a sequiter connection between these two sets of sentences. By "publishing and distribution" I meant where you can put a newsstand and common sense concerns like that. Things such as "no newsstands in the middle of a road or blocking a sidewalk." I don't know exactly how the FCC relates to newspapers, but I do know its general concerns are functionality issues: what frequencies diffent media use, how you modulate frequencies in fiber optics lines to allow for the maximum number of phone calls, etc. I don't think there is any content regulation of importance (though, it *is* a behemoth agency, so I can't say for certain).
