The Nokia N900 could broadcast short-range FM with RDS, I'm not sure what advantages this has.

higher power. The n900's transmitter was 15nW (1.5e-8 W), which is why it was legal. For a claimed 6km radius, I would assume this is about 3-7W output.

A 6km radius would fit quite well with schemes like Community Radio in the UK:

...still need a licence, of course.
