The NAB Show has launched a new site for consumers to educate the public on the possibility of FM radio receivers in phones portables.Le NAB has been lobbying Washington to these technologies become mandatory, and the new website - RadioRocksMyPhone .com - explains, "is a movement taking place and radio fans asking why cell phone porters are resistant to offer a free option of entertainment that can also provide emergency life-saving information to their customers."

The site encourages people to write to their federal representatives and Senators requesting mandatory radio in cell phones, and it provides a list of phones already come with FM receivers. He also teaches consumers about the benefits of having the radio in mobile phones (such as the provision of emergency information), and it refers to a recent survey by Harris Interactive, which shows that 76% of Americans want not only local radios in their cell phone, they should pay a single fee to ensure that their phone is "ready radio".

In related news, the NAB Show has released a statement in response to querying results of Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) on consumer demand for mobile phones compatible radio.CEA pleaded against mandatory registration of radio, saying that it would be too expensive for phone manufacturers.

Commenting on the survey, Vice President of the NAB show Dennis Wharton said, "NAB is by findings from Harris Interactive, a recognized across the country with the highest intégrité.Ironiquement survey firm, member companies of CEA build mobile phones with which are in high demand in many markets outside of U.s. .uniquement in America, where exclusive between manufacturers and carriers contracts govern the market of mobile telephony, radio function is relegated to the status of third-class radio-ability."
