Just wait until your connected home speakers, smart smoke detector, smart
refrigerator, smart tv, cell phone, IP streaming box, satellite receiver,
cable box, home security panel and your Fitbit all go off warning you of
the <u>cancellation</u> of an Amber alert at 1:30am, because the good
folks at AlertReady.Ca and Pelmorex think that everything needs to go out
at highest precedence, because, well, think of the
children!<br><br>

New York (CNN Business) The federal emergency alert program was designed
decades ago to interrupt your TV show or radio station and warn about

watching Netflix, listening to Spotify or playing a video game, for
example, they might miss a critical emergency alert altogether.<br><br>
"More and more people are opting out of the traditional television
services," said Gregory Touhill, a cybersecurity expert who served
at the Department of Homeland security and was the first-ever Federal
Chief Information Security Officer. "There's a huge population out
there that needs to help us rethink how we do this."<br><br>
