OnStar service relies on analog cellular technology that cannot be readily replaced in the tens of thousands of U.S. cars whose manufacturers have been touting the gimmick for several years. The FCC is ordering analog cell service to shut down early in 2008, which means that the OnStar Service is going bye-bye.
There's such a law as truth in advertising. The auto firms ballyhooing OnStar in order to boost car sales never mentioned the forthcoming demise.
Whose job is it to enforce truth in advertising laws on the airwaves? The FCC, of course.
I'll bet that fact never hits the airwaves, because the FCC will insist they're not to blame.
