Re: Oct. 3, 2018 EAS Presidential Alert test

Anecdotally, we had staff feeding off of both AT&T and VZW IP-based metrocells get the alert message. Ray On Wed, Oct 03, 2018 at 12:53:57PM -0700, mike.lyon@gmail.com wrote:

Interesting question though... I wonder if people on micro-cells and/or wifi calling don’t get the alerts. That would be extremely dumb and irresponsible of the cell phone carriers, so its likely the case :)

In rural America where cell coverage may not exist but the customer may have PTMP wireless internet and is using a microcell and/or wifi calling over the internet, if they dont get the alert, that could be catastrophic. Something along the lines of the Santa Rosa, CA fires catastrophic.

I wonder if that is the case.
