Despite the increasing reach of the internet, most of the world still
relies on radio as its main form of mass communication says journalist Chris
Arsenault. Community radio, he says, is especially important, as it helps
build community capacity and gives marginalized people the tools they need
to tell their stories.

Vancouver Cooperative Radio.

Training of Facilitators:
Community Radio Installation, Broadcast and Operation in Bangladesh
A three days long training workshop titled, 'Training of Facilitators:
Community Radio Installation, Broadcast and Operation' has inaugurated today
in IDB Bhaban, Dhaka.
The event has organized by Community Radio Academy and Bangladesh NGOs
Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC) (19-21 June 2010) with the
support of Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). The community
radio initiators who received government approval to operate station will
join the training as a last time preparation for kick-off.
Recently, Bangladesh government approved 14 initiators for installation of
community radio stations in different part of the country. This is the first
time in Bangladesh history, media diversification is allowed community
people to involve in broadcasting. It is a rare occasion for us to promote
community participation in media and communication sector, and foster
community driven development process in the country. It is high time for
initiators to develop capacity in the areas of station management,
programming, content development, human resource and financial resource
management, business plan development, committee formations, issue based
guideline development, volunteer management, and so on.
Community Radio Academy and Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and
Communication BNNRC has been leading the community radio initiatives from
its inception. As part of this, the training workshop has designed for the
station managers and initiators for better understanding and hand-on
experience sharing for successful station operation. A panel of
practitioners and professionals will be conducted the training based on
realistic needs.
We hope after attending the training the target beneficiaries will be able
to design their own strategies related to station operation as guided in the
policy.

Check out http://prometheusradio.org: Prometheus is one of the world's leading sources of information on the serenditipities inherent with the use of low power radio broadcasting, especially in FM.
In a nutshell, the problems you mention are almost exclusively related to high power broadcasting, a phenomenon or practice that may have some economic justification in a narrow sense (it favours economies of scale as far as employment is concerned). The US FCC has accepted that while perhaps theoretically possible, low power broadcasting does not interfere with signals from high power Txs. Unfortunately, this view has not spread out across the world yet, so hasn't been used to modify rules on FM licensing.
Probably reasons for this vary, from money 'skimmed' off 'difficulties' in obtaining licenses, to lack of interest and technical expertise amongst regulators and wireless planners (the range of frequencies reserved for FM is very narrow, hence not as interesting, compared to other wireless bands, such as cellular mobile, TV and so on). For the same reason (an exclusive and very limited reserved band) the possibility of interference with emergency services and aircraft are risible, unless the pirate has a multimegawatt transmitter (but then, where would they hide it? - we are, after all, talking about public broadcasting).
While your question appears to specifically focus on 'pirate' broadcasting, LPFM has been shown to have many more applications, including delivery of audio for concerts and meetings (and for sports grounds), and (with multiple Txs) for simultaneous translation at low-cost multilingual conferences. In some countries, processes for getting short-term low-power transmitting licenses are simple and straightforward, but costs vary widely. If you would like to know more about non-broadcast LPFM, please feel free to write to me offlist.

[excerpt]
Although nearly a year has gone by since the coup d'état of 28 June 2009,
the authorities continue to adopt arbitrary repressive measures against
opposition and community news media. The latest example is yesterday
morning's assault by troops and police on *La Voz de Zacate Grande 97.1 FM*,
a community radio in the southern peninsula of Zacate Grande.
Armed with a warrant for the arrest of five peasant leaders, around 300
soldiers and police invaded the community and shut down its radio. Yellow
tape bearing with the words "crime scene" now surrounds the small station,
the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC) said.
Military occupation of news media before an official closure order was
issued was typical of the methods used at the time of the coup. It was the
procedure used to force *Radio
Progreso*<http://en.rsf.org/honduras-radio-progreso-raid-shows-how-24-11-2009,35075.html>off
the air just a few hours after President Manuel Zelaya's ouster .
The same procedure was followed when *Radio Globo* and *Canal
36-Cholusat*were closed during the state
of siege<http://en.rsf.org/honduras-worse-feared-after-de-facto-regime-29-09-2009,34615.html>that
was declared in September in response to Zelaya's clandestine return,
and when cable TV antennae were seized in order to censor the foreign media
.
The only possible explanation for yesterday's raid was the desire to silence
a radio station that spoke for a community involved in serious land dispute,
just as the only possible explanation for the crime scene tape was to
criminalise the people and their radio. Whether *La Voz de Zacate Grande* is
paying the price for the land dispute or whether it is the primary target of
this persecution<http://en.rsf.org/honduras-seventh-journalist-shot-dead-in-21-04-2010,37102.html>,
this is political censorship and a violation of the Inter-American
Convention on Human Rights.

*An influential pirate radio station which was the first to break UK rap
star Dizzee Rascal is to go legitimate.*
Ofcom has awarded a new community radio licence to London's Rinse FM, which
has established a reputation as a innovative and groundbreaking station
since it was setup in 1994.
The station plans to use its new community radio licence to showcase UK
urban and dance music and to interact with and influence these music scenes.
It will also promote education and training, broadcast and other media
opportunities in inner London.
