They do something similar here in the U.S.
The communications industry comes to the Pols in Washingtoon
and writes big re-election checks to the members of the
House (and Senate) of Prostitution.  They then cook-up some
lame "technical" reason all the old radios won't work anymore
and why everyone should have to buy new ones.
The Congre-tutes then pass laws and everyone has to
turn out their pockets.  Ahhhh, Democracy in action!

Happening in mobile radio here right now with "narrow banding,"
which you're about to hear some guys innocently defend,
not knowing that it's all a big "snooker" and they've been
hoodwinked again.
