[Electronics-talk] Fwd: PSA and Press Release regarding FM capable cell phones.

[Jude DaShiell]

For probable reception reasons as well as sound quality reasons I think 
the proposal is a good idea to implement on only an experimental basis 
with people who do lots of traveling in the United States to areas which 
have poor quality FM reception.  If such phones get better performance 
than FM radios in these areas I would have a second experiment done in 
high quality areas just to make sure expected high quality results 
happen.  If the first experiment fails, people might want to consider 
modifying cell phone towers so they have FM antennas as part of their 
construction and then possibly somehow put each station on its own 
dedicated stream that can be sent to the phones when selected.  I really 
can't see any way possible for the first proposed experiment to come up 
successful in St. Mary's County Maryland or Calvert or Charles County 
either.  I may be wrong, and I'd like to be, but I'm worried about this 
one.
