March is Severe Weather Month - Plan Ahead for Disasters
by Sean Donelan 06 Mar '19

06 Mar '19

Network operators are involved in most weather disasters. March is Severe Weather Month in the U.S. The National Weather Service and many states use severe weather month to encourage public planning and preparedness. https://www.ready.gov/ https://www.weather.gov/wrn/ Remember, your Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Applie Siri smart speakers, smart TVs, and smart assistants won't practively warn you about emergency alerts or weather warnings. Amazon Alexa will tell you about weather warnings, but only when you ask about the weather. The FEMA National Advisory Council published its recommendations for Modernizing the Nation's Public Alert and Warning System, which included adding alerts to new technologies. https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/177192 "Ensure people can receive and understand geo-targeted IPAWS messages in numerous ways, including social media, mobile aps, automotive GPS units, driverless cars and intelligent in-home automated systems (e.g., Smart Speakers)." I also have some suggestions for Wireless Emergency Alerts, in case any Apple iOS or Google Android developers are reading. 1. Improving the WEA Imminent Threat Class and Categories 2. Redefining the Child Abduction Emergency/AMBER class 3. Do Not Disturb WEA Behavior for Less Severe Alerts 4. Revising Sample WEA Options Menu 5. Default WEA class names for mobile device user interfaces https://www.donelan.com/WEA-Improvements.pdf https://www.donelan.com/eas.html

Does anyone know the name, or have contact information for the department within Comcast that handles carriers looking to purchase local access, etc? Normally this would be the carrier or wholesale group, but either of their websites seem to be aligned to the services we are looking for? Thank you, TJ Trout EXPOHL LLC AS62809

Re: How to choose a transit provider?

Is this really true in the general case? Adding colo and IX to transport and transit involves at least one additional cross connect and an IX port fee. This is likely to push the total above the pure DIA price. However, regardless of how the numbers pencil out, this isn't really a fair comparison. For small ISPs, the yardstick against which adding an IX to the mix is usually measured against is the marginal cost of IP transit. Given that the cost of transport is fixed, is it more economical to buy more IP transit or to join an IX? Transit being so cheap means that joining an IX isn't always so enticing from a financial perspective, although there are other non-monetary benefits. I certainly subscribe to the notion that transport + transit is usually less expensive than DIA, but this does depend on the market and location. Jared
