"A longtime feud between radio broadcasters and the recording industry over music royalties for songs played over FM airwaves is now threatening to drag cell phone manufacturers into the fight.

As a resolution to their dispute, broadcasters, recording artists and recording labels have lobbied for legislation, now floating about in congress, that would mandate cell phone makers to include FM radio chips in their handsets."


Should the government mandate such things?
