[EAS] The BWWG Files in support of FEMA's Petition to the FCC to lift the TTS ban

[Richard Rudman]

Greetings:

As most of you know, FEMA filed a Petition for Partial Reconsideration regarding the provision in the FCC's Fifth Report and Order that would prohibit use of Text-To-Speech (TTS) features that are a key benefit of CAP. Eight state emergency managers have so far also asked the FCC to reconsider their TTS decision, along with some support from the EAS equipment manufacturing community.

A copy of the BWWG filing is posted at:

Our posting should appear on the FCC's Electronic Comments Filing System website sometime tomorrow, Monday, April 2.
