gsm interference is lame

one vote for gsm buzzing my speakers being an egregious failure of the fcc and part 15 interpretation. ok, i didn't actually read part 15, but there are just too many audible devices and speakers affected by too many transmitters. if the spirit of part 15 is to encourage cheap consumer devices, i feel that mission has lost a relatively large amount of ground. gsm has been around for over 10 years, but yet i've never seen a consumer product claiming to be "gsm buzz proof"... feels like we've left behind to fumble with clumsy ferrite core and anti-static bag solutions. one problem of course is gsm has such critical mass around the world that it would be difficult to unroot at this point. it'll be interesting but painfully slow to see if this issue becomes popular and how it might be solved in the next 5-10 years.
