We should kill FM Radio stations already and use the frequency for these kind of things. The range and data-rates are excellent and the power consumption is low. If you want to listen to music or the news while in your car, LTE is cheaper than ever.

In your country maybe but in others not so much and conflicting with the FM radio will kill this application there.

AM radio isn't dead either despite being barely used. Good luck though.

(By my own experience, the power consumption isn't that great for FM modulation, you want the frequency range, not the modulation)

>FM modulation

Why so wordy? You can abbreviate this to FMM :p

FMM modulation?
