The major reasons that the SAME/AFSK system should remain are -

I still contend that the CAP system needs to be de-centralized and have
several other aggregation systems to be fully effective and self-healing.
And i agree Ed, AFSK EAS shouldn't go anywhere quite yet. There's still
parts of this country where Internet is a luxury. They're few and far
between, but they're out there.
