    How would satellite-based emergency alerts reach people in areas where terrestrial networks currently fail during disasters?

  2. 02

    What technical standards should the FCC establish to prevent false or duplicative alerts across satellite and terrestrial systems?

  3. 03

    Should subscribers have the same opt-out rights for satellite alerts as they do for existing wireless emergency notifications?
