Canada is going through a similar situation at airports which have only flight service stations. Since the FSS folks can only offer advisory information they were deemed to be unable to say "radar identified" even though they get a radar feed. The work around seems to be them saying "roger your ident" and then providing the usual traffic advisories, only this time instead of passing on pilot reported postions of other aircraft they can report the actual radar positions relative to you.
