Gov’t has no role here
If auotmakers want to drop AM, that is fine.
It it?
So, Congress will mandate that people carry cell phones to pick up emergency broadcasts?
Emergency traffic and weather broadcasts are often on AM because people driving have a receiver. There seems to be a hole, if you start dropping AM from the vehicles.
I think the analysis that the car-makers want you to pay for Sirius and other pay-audio solutions is the correct one.
I’m not big on gov’t involvement, either, but their hands are all over the radio waves and your automobile. This country tried to set up a system where the airwaves were as useful as the roads. Now, we all live in New Jersey.
There is no such thing as an electric vehicle and that thing in your pocket is not a phone.
One is a computer you carry in your pocket and the other is a computer that carries you in its pocket. Both for the convenience of government.
Consumers did not ask to be forcibly converted to electric vehicles, certain elements in the government said we had to.
How about dropping the electric vehicle scam and then they dont have to worry if AM works or not?
