All web sites are media?

For example, Ebay looks more like commerce. Does he have authority over off-line auction houses?

He has a certain amount of authority over, for example, Bid TV, which sells goods by Dutch auction. It must adhere to the same rules as other TV channels.

But over traditional auction houses? No.
