It is great to see the US Government embracing technology. Recently the FCC said that by 2010 we should have a nationwide alert system capable of delivering timely warnings vis SMS in the event of disaster.Participation in this broadcast communications network is optional for carriers and for subscribers.
My thoughts? This is great news and shows that even the government benefits from the innovations which take place in the communications space.
I just hope all regulators and government officials realize that providing a fertile environment for competition in the communications space has benefits which are far greater than just providing more competitive pricing for consumers.
