> Let's say I had a business in space in a building I was leasing at 100 Main Street, Podunk, USA. Now let's say you didn't renew the lease so I moved to a building up the block but put the 100 Main Street address on my new location and continued to use that address for my business.
That's covered under trespassing laws.
> Or let's say I operated a TV station on channel 37 that was allocated to you but you terminate my operating contract. So I lease/erect a new transmitter and continue broadcasting on channel 37.
That's covered under FCC regulations on use of public spectrum.
