    The main problem with these projects - which was not much of an issue when the projects started - is that mobile phones of today seek access to web servers at vendors, including th…

    > Is there a way to broadcast on the radio or tv without getting into such contract that limits what you can broadcast? Not in the US. Even if your station or device does not requi…

    Wireless Emergency Alerts use the same tones, but didn’t exist on 9/11. EAS did exist, but the alerts are supposed to include the protective action to be taken. What protective act…

    “The FCC document references the 18 Fox owned stations and says nothing about the 200+ affiliate stations.” Im fact the FCC mentions the affiliates several times. One example: “The…

    There is nothing automated about originating those alerts. The actual procedure for transmitting the alert is manual. The incident has to meet state criteria including likelihood o…
