The Federal government forces private companies to install a government chip on everyone's cellphones and there is nothing but crickets chirping.
Funny the Feds never forced companies to put S.A.M.E. recievers in TVs or radios.
Is that a googly you feel going up your leg?

Better Solution
Federal Govt gives the information to all carriers and the carriers send a FREE text message to all of their phones registered in the area.
That also means that if you are out of cellphone area, you probably are not concerened.

No thanks!
The FCC doesn't have the authority nor does the pres.

Optional service apparently.
The text "will be able to" indicates this is an optional service each wireless customer can opt in on if they choose. The FCCand the pres have the authority to offer whatever service they want.

Optional?
Probably not optional. Cell phones send a GPS signal for 911 services which you can NOT opt out of. My smartphone uses 3 categories of GPS; 2 of them can be turned off & on, but the 911 one cannot be disabled...

"Dissipate~Disseminate"
Hey, thanx for this! I am relieved to know that I am NOT the LAST person who still realizes that words are supposed to have SPECIFIC meanings!
These days, it seems most writers and broadcasters are content to just say something SIMILAR-sounding to what they really mean, and the readers/hearers are supposed to decipher what they are trying to say. Some people barely understand each other when the language is CORRECT; no wonder there is so much confusion when people aren't even saying what they mean!

It's just not an important distinction. After all, there is practically no difference between lightning and a lightning bug, either.
