6 New USA Develpments Shaping Industry Activities Warning, Alert, and Respnse Netwrk (WARN) Act Signed int law last Friday, 13 Oct 2006 Prvides fr natinal system and internatinal cperatin FCC-driven industry cllabrative prcess Executive Order signed 26 June 2006 Establishes requirement fr a natinal Emergency Alert System Dept f Hmeland Security (DHS) driven reprt DHS expressed interest in array f emergency messaging systems capabilities /OASIS Wrkshp and Demnstratin f Advances in ICT Standards fr Public Warning Geneva, Octber 2006

7 Cmmercial Mbile Service Alert Advisry Cmmittee FCC creates the Cmmittee in Dec 2006 Brad representatin Develps recmmendatins within ne year t enable electing cmmercial mbile service prviders t transmit emergency alerts t subscribers prtcls, technical capabilities, and technical prcedures t receive, verify, and transmit; als including pririty transmissin devices and equipment internatinal languages preventing receipt f alerts use f nn-cmpliant equipment r service areas cnsults with NIST (USGOV standards institute) /OASIS Wrkshp and Demnstratin f Advances in ICT Standards fr Public Warning Geneva, Octber 2006

8 FCC Duties a) Adpts emergency alerts standards based n Advisry Cmmittee, cnsulting with NIST b) Implements service thrugh cmmercial prviders (next slide) c) FCC shall prvide fr an interface standard between educatinal bradcast statins and cmmercial mbile prviders d) FCC may enfrce cmpliance with EAS rules e) Brad liability prtectin fr prviders f) Regular testing required fr prvider services and equipment/devices /OASIS Wrkshp and Demnstratin f Advances in ICT Standards fr Public Warning Geneva, Octber 2006
