        ...and can and should be implemented without delay
        by acclimation, if you wish, but it should be done
        now... and with the RWTs on Monday, can be
        tested easily and any coding glitches fixed quickly.
        IOW, let the private section run with the ball, all
        that is needed is for someone to generate the codes.
        Test on a national scale ... and if useful, bring it
        to states.

        ... and while that is going on, let's get with alternative
        distribution, ie, satellite, vhf, etc.

        The next emergency will again kill the power/Internet, and
        we should already be past that.
