But why keep the analog FM radio? Here is a reason:
"Digital radio can easily be turned off in wartime
In the current tightened security policy situation with an increasingly aggressive neighbor to the east, Sweden should not abolish the current analogue systems in view of the high-profile IT attacks against Telia Sonera and Sony in December. Thousands of Telia's broadband customers lost access to the internet after being attacked by a hacker group called "Lizard Squad" which is believed to be based in Russia. According to the security company Symantec, these so-called overload attacks have increased enormously in number and power in recent times."
