The use of such devices - which fell foul of the Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1949, forbidding the use of radio equipment without a licence or an exemption - was banned in the UK as their transmissions could interfere with legal radio station broadcasts.
However, following a public consultation exercise in July 2006, Ofcom have announced that from the 8th December 2006 certain low power FM transmitters carrying the EU approved CE mark - indicating approval for sale in the European Union - will be legal to use.
A wide range of approved FM transmitters will be available from DataMind during 2007.
