People using iTrips, the small radio-transmitting gadgets used for connecting iPods to car and home stereos, will soon be law-abiding citizens. Comreg, the telecoms regulator, has revealed to this blog that it is to soon decriminalise the use of such short-distance transmitters. The only catch is that the items will have to have the ‘CE’ mark, indicating that they conform with EU standards (meaning that models imported from the US will remain illegal). iTrips were sold in Irish shops for a short while until Comreg clamped down on retailers, pointing out the rather anachronous broadcasting legislation.
