Well, after reading that PR from the California Governor's Office . . . heck, they almost described the Digital Communicator to a "T". Now, thinnk about this . . . We presented to some of them yesterday afternoon . . . and then this came out from the Governor last night: "Governor Davis' plan will require notice of blackouts 48 hours, 24 hours and one hour in advance. -- "Rolling Blackout Alert" -- At 48 hours, the Independent System Operator will give Californians [Utility Companies] an "alert" if blackouts are likely to occur. From this time, the ISO will post hourly updates for the public over the Internet. -- "Location Notification" -- At 24 hours, utilities will be required to identify the neighborhoods scheduled for blackouts. -- "Blackout Warning" -- At one hour prior to an actual blackout, utilities will give a blackout warning, with the exact location and time of the impending blackout. "Currently, we've been receiving notice as late as two minutes before a blackout," Governor Davis said. "A two-minute warning might work fine for the NFL, but it doesn't work for our consumers and businesses. Warnings allow law enforcement to send personnel to busy intersections. Warnings encourage people to avoid elevators. Warnings help people who run day care to prepare at home." If they are 2 minutes late currently . . . and they plan to be 48 hours early . . . how are they going to do that? IDFR? :) Skitrade
