Ross

I believe the answer is:

coverage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'insurance policy?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'100 too old' is the wordplay.
'100' becomes 'C' (Roman numeral).
'too old' becomes 'overage' (I've seen this before).
'c'+'overage'='COVERAGE'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for coverage that I've seen before include "Press reporting" , "Media reporting" , "insurance" , "Treatment of news" , "Extent reached by advertising" .)
