Canadian community radios are promoting a campaign for activated
free-over-the-air-reception FM chips in all cell phones.  The exec director
of the NCRA, Barry Rooke, passed along this link that compares Canada,
Mexico, and the US, on this criterion:  http://www.nabanet.com/
nabaweb/committees/radio-fm-chip-in-smartphone-data.asp

Here is his entire email, for your edification.

Hi Everyone

How is the campaign going on your station?  Are you still airing FM Chip
PSAs?

I have an update and a story:

Last week, Commissioner MacDonald spoke to the Ontario Association of
Broadcasters <http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=1151179> and said
this:

Associations like the OAB have a critical role to play in representing your
interests, not only to government organizations like the CRTC, but also to
the auto industry, device manufacturers and wireless service providers. In
this regard, the CRTC encourages broadcasters to team up and to continue
working with smartphone manufacturers and wireless service providers to
increase the number of models that have the FM chip activated. We also
welcome awareness initiatives and outreach campaigns on this matter.

Which is funny, because again, it is the NCRA that lead thew way here. So
they are listening.

Additionally, some major manufacturers have signed on to the campaign,
including (unofficially) Samsung! (There MAY be a super small chance that
the recall and 5.7 billion dollar
<https://www.thestar.com/business/2016/10/14/samsung-says-galaxy-note-7-recall-to-cost-at-least-53-billion.html>
Note 7 is actually my fault as turning it on is causing something to
overheat......like super small chance [I have no evidence to support his,
but it makes for a good story])

More info on stories are here: http://freeradioonmyphon
