How would that even work? Force a pop up into web traffic?
That's not going to play nicely at all in a world of https://
What if the end users is using an app on a phone?
I'm having a hard time thinking of what app I could *possibly* be using on a phone where I wouldn't want an interruption for a tornado or active shooter alert.
This would probably -- on phones, at least -- involve tightening up the deployment of CMAS/WEA, and the apps that catch it, which are pretty crappy right now; at least the one on my LG-V20 is.
This was discussed in detail a while ago - I'm pretty sure the general consensus was that having the phone/game console/smart home control center/ whatever would be running an alert endpoint app that would talk to the ISP/ cellphone tower and register for alerts and then DTRT to notify the relevant carbon-based life forms.
Yeah, I designed most of this about 10 years ago, and couldn't figure out where to wedge it in. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
