FM chips in cell phones

This morning's Radio Ink has another editorial from another radio company CEO demanding that the phone companies put FM chips into all future cell phones.

I have a suggestion for the radio CEOs. Instead of demanding another industry do what you say, why don't you just offer to pay for it? You claim the cost is negligible. It's crucial to your future existence, correct? Then just offer to pay for it, and be done with it.

The fact that you'd never even consider that does sort of undermine your own argument, doesn't it?

I once had a radio GM tell me I couldn't use the stationery because it was too expensive. One man's negligible is another man's stationery.
