Lobbyists Looking to Mandate FM Radios in Cell Phones
I love my FM radio
When I was looking to purchase my new cell (HTC-HD2), I searched and searched for a decent phone with an FM radio. I love it and use it every day. These are the reasons why this was an important feature for me:
1) I want to listen to local radio stations like NPR
2) I'm from hurricane land (Miami) where local stations rather than streaming stations can provide emergency updates
3)Streaming music/news varies according to service providers-FM radio signal does not.
There are many other reasons but those are the major ones.

On the rare occassion I don't listen to Pandora, I listen to AM talk radio or sports broadcasts. I have no need for an FM tuner, and forcing one in is unnecessary.

Huzzah for NPR! 🙂 And yay for public radio in general, for having NO COMMERCIALS!
I'm a little annoyed that there's going to be so much wrangling over this issue, when it really comes down to profit & revenue streams, but I can hardly be sad about potentially much more choice when it comes to devices that are enabled to FM radios.
