Are you ready to start getting text messages from "The Man"? Well it's in the works, so you better be. The FCC has given it's approval to a new program which would task a yet to be appointed federal agency with creating the messages, which would be sent to the participating cellular carriers with information regarding "extreme terrorist attacks, weather disasters and Amber Alerts.
That's just what I need, the Department of Homeland Security sending me text messages that say "I just wanted to talk" or "what're you thinking about?".
But seriously, I wouldn't mind this assuming it was used for the purposes I mentioned earlier. I don't think we need a brand new government agency to do this, either. Beyond the initial setup and organizing the communication between the agencies providing the alerts, maintenance should be relatively simple and wouldn't require much manpower to administrate.
Apparently you can opt out of the messages just like any other premium text message, so I may take advantage of this option should I start getting text messages that start with FW:
