[EAS] WEA results?

[David Turnmire]

Suzanne,
I agree there are multiple variables.  For what it is worth, I know 
someone with exact same model phone as I have, both of us using Verizon, 
but he received it and I didn't.  I had a good 4G signal... sitting at 
my office desk where I routinely get email/etc via my cell.  On the 
other hand... I'm on the opposite end of the state.  On the other 
hand... I was in the same room as another Verizon user who DID receive 
it.  So it seems unlikely to be "equipment problems" in the sense of 
something at the local tower.  But... I don't know much about the cell 
phone infrastructure...

To your other point... I thought I heard somewhere that the cell 
companies were obliged to provide info to emergency management if they 
request it.  I'm sure there is some bureaucratic hoops... special forms 
or whatever.  Can anyone here address that point with some authority?

The cell companies might report equipment problems or failure-to-relay in some places (IF they were required to report at all, which I don't think they are).  But there's so much variance between cell phones themselves that it will be impossible to determine whether a failure to receive was on the part of the cell company or of the phone.
