The radio spectrum is a finite resource that can only be (reasonably) consumed locally. The internet is for all intents and purposes infinite.
One of the purposes of government is to oversee the distribution of scarce resources in a way that avoids the tragedy of the commons.
This use case clearly applies to the EM spectrum allocation and clearly doesn't apply to the internet so I think comparing the internet and radio is a flawed analogy.
