Yeah my family got a PS4 for Christmas. But we've had an Xbox One for the last few years. There are quite a few streaming apps, true. But a lot fewer of those than worldwide telcos, or jurisdictions, or emergency services.
You missed the point - Hulu would *still* have to deal with every single jurisdiction or emergency service in a secure manner. But any given ISP doing business in a given county would only have to deal with a very small number - and the local sheriff's office would only have to notify the small number of providers actually providing access in the county.
So do you want the streaming service to deliver the alert, or do you want the underlying device doing the streaming, to deliver the alert? Because I think you've gone down a layer and didn't need to.
How do you deliver the alert if the device is on but no streaming service is currently active? And for a lot of devices, that's the usual state of affairs. As far as I know, most people who have a Google or Alexa smart device have it on close to 24/7, but the devices aren't streaming media that much. That's why I think doing it at the streaming service level is one level too high.
