The problem is in how these items are addressed.  If you live in
Chicago, but are traveling in Cincinnati, you need the Cincinnati
alerts, not the Chi-town alerts.

Unless I am completely bonkers (no comments from the Peanut
Gallery!), cell phones could be addressed by cell site instead of
"home location."  In fact, wouldn't it be easier to have "universal"
alerting by cell site ... a phone/radio would only have to react to
the local signal.
