[EAS] [BC] What's the point of LP-1s anymore?

[Botterell, Arthur@CalOES]

Ed,

Cable operations used to be anchored to their localities by infrastructure and franchise agreements.  Nowadays we have incidents wherein local EAS messages accidentally get spewed nationwide from those remote, automated headends.  So I'm not sure what that analogy really tells us.
