They *need* to mandate it in order to get their regular, expected  
campaign contributions from the NAB!

I'm only half kidding.  The NAB is one of the most--if not the most-- 
powerful lobby in Washington and distributes millions in campaign  
cash.  The cell phone makers with fight this suggestion tooth and  
nail.... which will make them another valuable source of campaign  
cash.  As they say... "It's in the game!"
