including foreign locations, generations of emergency alert packets *MUST* be responsibility of *LOCAL* ISPs.
A problem is that home routers may filter the broadcast packets from ISPs, but the routers may be upgraded or some device to snoop the alert packets may be placed between ISPs and the routers. Yup; it's messy, and in many many different ways. Won't be a snapshot rollout. Not a bad idea, though, if implemented correctly; time to dig out my notes, I guess.
Is there a reason not to use an outbound tcp/quic connection? It was unthinkable years ago to use TCP with DNS, but now we have DoH and the world hasn't spiraled out of control. Heck if you made it a websocket you'd have a built in channel for multi-media html, etc. That is, just push a URL down and fire up a webview that the OS makes certain is in focus. Mike
