I think you'd find if that were enforced, many bottom-of-the-line radios
would simply disappear from the marketplace, and many devices that
contain a radio essentially as an afterthought would simply drop the
radio function.


A few decades back there was an "all channel radio bill" introduced in
Congress that would have mandated that all radios over $15 be FM
capable. Did that ever get off the ground?
