Low-power FM Transmitters Banned in UK
Acey writes "The BBC News is reporting that the Griffin iTrip falls foul of the UK Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 (PDF). In short, the iTrip is an unlicensed FM transmitter and that's not allowed. The UK distributor, A M Micro, have pulled the iTrip. More ominously they warn that "Use of the iTrip in the UK therefore constitutes an offence and can lead to prosecution of the User". Guess that makes me an outlaw, because you'll have to pry my iTrip from my cold, dead hands."
Why do you people put up with their buillshit?
Do you have any more information on how to do this exactly?
Thank you in advance!
You can't transmit freely with a high powered trasmitter according to the FCC without a license.
Life is not for the lazy.
And how do they use their X10 stuff?
...that all Americans are anarchists.
It must be just an illusion..?
If I pinch myself I'll wake up and realise they are all modest, sensible and responsible worls citizens...
Ethics is what you say you do. Morals is what you actually do.
Especially now in summer, when 80% of the content on commercial channels are reruns everyone has seen 5 times already. Thank god for public service. You'd have to pry SVT from my cold dead hands
The stars that shine and the stars that shrink

Yeah, they'll send a copper around in a couple of weeks if they don't loose the paperwork before then. and the copper doesn't have a bad back or a tea break.
The banner at the top of this page is all "OSXish" with grey horizontal lines...seems to be the only place on slashdot I can find with this banner. It looks much better than the usual banner....what's up?
