		<description>I sub to just adverse weather alerts for where my parents live, and if they're expecting rain or thunderstorms, there's often 2-5 alerts a day minimum. I can't begin to imagine how many alerts would be on my phone, which I pay for minutes after a set amount in my plan, unless they're on my network.

If a hurricane is headed towards you, the only ways you wouldn't know about it would be if you were unconscious, or camping without a radio or other form of communication, or the occasional tourist from easy climates that forget they should check weather reports occasionally. We don't always get one week's warning if the hurricane forms close to the coast.

And unless this mobi service plans on txt'ing, it'll become useless as the powerlines and cell towers go down, and all that's left is txt that takes quite a while to go through during peak usage times.

I'll wait a few years to see how this works before considering it.</description>
