Phones should have FM radio again
Phones should have FM radio again
Radio access could be a critical safety feature in the years ahead.

I've never bought a phone without FM radio. I regard it as an emergency tool.
That doesn't help much if your country has shut down FM broadcasting though.
I didn't even know that DAB exists.
It would be very, very hard to make old and rural people switch in my country. We still have analog tv for the same reason. 🇨🇱

Shutting down FM broadcasting doesn't mean shutting down radio; if you read the link, you'll see that DAB is taking it's place in those places.
Thanks for clarifying, I didn't understand that in the article.
Well, that's surely something to consider, but it's still not a fact. I wouldn't even expect that to happen in my country any time soon. I know radio is struggling right now, but I also know I can stream live FM radio stations from all over the world.
In any case, if DAB can replace FM even for emergency use, that's what I'd want in my phone.
wtf
