FM Transmitters to be legal in the UK by Christmas
Offcom is due to change the law so that people in the UK can use FM Transmitters such as the itrip legally.
FM transmitters have always been illegal to use in the UK due to very old laws that meant you needed a licence. Altough illegal to use UK consumers have been buying the FM transmitters and this has lead to Ofcom changing the law.
Although iTrips have been widely available on the internet, the gadgets should be available from supermarket shelves after a four-week consultation of the draft regulations - in time for the Christmas season.
A spokesman told the Metro that the group is seeking a “harmonised approach” across Europe.
The wireless devices have already been approved in Germany, Iceland, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Estonia.
