Re: Why doesn't this self serving post surprise me?
Actually, the article indicates the system is supposed to relay information for the Herndon region. Seems like a great idea, why not make good use of your infrastructure?
said by »www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/0225amber.html:
According to Ashton, the system works as follows: the town of Herndon’s network receives alerts from codeamber.org, an Internet clearinghouse for national missing-child news. The network filters the alerts through a database to cull out information of interest to the Herndon region, and news of relevant cases are sent to municipal employees’ Cisco IP phones. The phones ring with a distinctive tone that sounds like a siren, and, within seconds, text messages appear on the phones’ screens. In turn, employees can quickly call up photos of victims and suspects, and other pertinent information.
