[EAS] HD developer proposal for EAS

[Eric Adler]

I've been following this thread and just now read the RW article and I'm a bit confused... I thought HDRadio alerts (CAP over HDRadio) was already a thing.  Google results show a press release from 2015 about three (then) new radios on the market supporting it.  What's the new proposal?  The article says they released a whitepaper but I can't seem to find it.  (It is not present with the other IBOC whitepapers at hdradio.com nor can I find it on Xperi's corporate website)

>Xperi pitched using HD Radio for enhanced text notifications, multilingual audio and geographically-targeted messaging to representatives from the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau in Washington, according to an ex parte filing by the company.
>In addition, it also released a white paper entitled, "Upgrading the Emergency Alert System: HD Radio Digital Emergency Alerting." It further details possible alerting enhancements like wake-up signaling and delivery of visual images, including photos and maps.
