In the absence of WLAN or mobile communications, however, it can be an alternative to stay connected to the world, at least while consuming.

To the delight of motorists with conventional analogue radios. The current digital successor DAB+ (the previous, incompatible and not very successful DAB was discontinued) is at least visible on the market and there are a number of inexpensive DAB+ receivers under €30.
