Again -
Like all non-EAN alerts - It's all Voluntary - States/SECC's can say no as
can all EAS Participants.
They can stack on all the new event codes they want, using a rainbow of
colors...Does not alter much except for making the proponents happy.
My (Un-officiall) $.02

Agreed that the decision has likely already been made, which is exactly why
I didn't file additional Reply Comments.
In my original comments, I leaned towards LEW only to make the point about
timelines and costs.
- if the timeline is unmovable (i.e. rammed into 6 months), the FCC needs to
go with LEW.
- if the timeline can be extended (12 months), then a new BLU event code may
be do-able..
- if the FCC hears our comments on the full text alert (CAP) vs. the minimal
EAS text, then again the need to allow more time to implement "triggered CAP
polling".
