Should Netflix and Hulu give you emergency alerts?

I'm old. I was online @MIT-AI the night the pentagon (probably DISA?)
started broadcasting messages that basically the ARPAnet was going
down for "emergency testing" blah blah.

I thought it was a prank so just kept working.

Another message or two and it all went dead, CONNECTION LOST

Couldn't dial back in.

Idjits, oh well.

The next morning I found out some students (not MIT students) had
taken over the US embassy in Tehran so that would have been 1979-11-04
more or less.
