Apart from new threats of satellite digital radio broadcasting and the terrestial infill repeaters (where did my comment go, can't find it!), here's another new one - femtocells.
The idea is to have a low power cellsite in your home which is a genuine cellsite for use with normal cellphones, albeit with very low range. It's connected via your broadband to the phone company. Thanks but no thanks!

And while I'm at it with new tech, those little cheap walkie talkies on 446MHz? Yep, there's a new digital version coming. 500mW of pulsed UHF in the palm of your hand :o)
- standard agreed in Europe, legal in some EU states but not yet in the UK
