[EAS] EAS monitoring sources

[Ed Czarnecki]

They did raise this issue long ago.  And since then, the issue has gotten
even more complicated.
- some devices do not have any FM chip.
- Some carriers choose not to enable the chip.  
- some devices are Bluetooth only (i.e. no headphone jack).  i.e., no
antenna, mooting the FM chip.  Expect this to be the trend for ultra thin
smartphones

Regulation would have to get pretty deep into consumer device requirements,
far beyond the Commissions current statutory authority over cell phones.

This is the first time I've heard someone say the FCC doesn't have the
authority to regulate receivers. Then how would you account for the UHF-TV
mandate.

If this was the case, the cell phone folks would have raised that issue long
