It will be interesting to see if NPR and NAB get any traction with this. It could certainly put a damper on satellite and iPods in the car if they do.

Wireless devices send mixed radio signals Modulators that drivers use to listen to satellite radio or iPods can alter reception in nearby cars. By Jim Puzzanghera, Times Staff Writer November 1, 2006 WASHINGTON — Todd Lockwood, a 56-year-old writer in South Burlington, Vt., often finds an annoying hitchhiker in his Audi when he tunes in to his local National Public Radio station. The outbursts of Howard Stern's program, which airs on Sirius Satellite Radio Inc., sometimes blare from the dial and are particularly unwelcome when his three children are in the car. "It will literally replace the station," Lockwood said of the shock jock's signal. "It's starting to feel more and more like an intrusion."
