--- The system uses precision broadcasting and targets emergency or weather alerts on a street-by-street basis. The system could allow broadcasters to wake up a receiver to broadcast emergency alerts. The alerts could include maps, storm tracks and evacuation routes. The new standard would also let broadcasters activate a TV set that is turned off to send emergency alerts. Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc last month called the new standard “the Holy Grail” for the advertiser because it tells them who is watching and where. --- Another nail in the coffin of traditional broadcasting. I find it amusing that these (evil) corporations are so brazen that they are not even coating their glee at these 1984-esque surveillance in the usual rosy corporate speak. I do not know who FCC works for, but it's certainly not for the American people.
