[EAS] CAP Polling Interval Questions

[Eric Adler]

This discussion of routing has me thinking again:
Why a polling system?  Why not a push system?  

Also, I see problems for stations with cable modems hitting their packet-limit and dropping packets (which may affect the station's existing traffic and/or the CAP retreival traffic, causing additional delays).  If they want to require a robust network connection, they should be providing it.  Otherwise, why not simply mass push the messages to broadcasters (and other low-latency media) via satellite?
