Those of us who use weak-signal receiving equipment know there's an EMI problem generally. But most of the consumer public does not see EMI as a problem. This may change as 2.4 GHz cordless telephones disrupt more wireless services, or perhaps as PLC systems affect more European SW listeners. So far there are few complaints in the US.
It's easier to avoid the problem than to generate a complaint (especially when official response will be less than helpful bureaucratic boiler-plate). I find this even among Amateur Radio operators, and it cannot be less prevalent among consumers generally. People adjust their operating practices or avoid use of offending equipment to work around it; we do not complain. Naturally, an agency receiving no complaints will assume there is no problem.
