Rise of Rogue Radio

Best solution of illegal FM radio stations is to reduce the price of radio license so that people who want to start and maintain radio stations can easily do it. After that, it is simply a civilized fight for the hearts and mind of listening people.

Another reason of illegal FM radios may be the lack of safety. People do not want to be killed by intolerant bigots who may be offended. So they try keep their location secret.

To me it is a very good sign that people are finding a medium to express their opinion through radio. After the intial burst of enthusiam, gradually the dust will settle down.
People will certainly benefit from listening to wide variety of ideas. Slowly they will be able to to sift truth from lies.

The surviving stations would be the one that are better managed and provide a good service to the people

In my opinion, if it is a battle of ideas then the truth always prevails. However if it is a battle for the power by hook and crook then ruthless people always win.
