Your Opportunity to Comment on Post Disaster Communicaitons Petition

During the last hurricane season, San Antonio played a role in working with and housing many of the refugees from the Katrina and Rita disasters.  In my day job, we've been working with our client, Jeff Pulver and Tom Evslin on the Post-Disaster Communications Petition that was filed with the FCC back in March.

This is an opportunity for you to comment on the Petition by April 27.

In order to file your opinion and be heard, just go to to this web site and enter RM-11327 in the first line where it requests the "Proceeding" (this is the Petitions "RM" number), fill in the other minimal contact info requirements, and submit a brief statement in support.

We're coming up again upon hurricane season and hopefully we can collectively bring awareness to the FCC that we could avoid having refugees and other victims who have lost access to their phone number and traditional mode of communication are assured a communications life-line.

I encourage you to fill out the form and spread the word.  Russell Shaw of ZDNet and VON Magazine has a story on the initiative.
