This is a perception that needs correcting. Unfortunately, the people  
that foster that perception are anything but under the redhat  
umbrella. (Happen to be trying to tear it down, right now, if you  
know what I mean.) Just look at their record to see the difference  
between what they preach and what they do.

In many parts of Japan there is a over-the-wire emergency broadcast  
system that pre-dated the internet. (And has since been at least  
partially re-purposed in many small towns to bring broadband in  
before any independent ISPs showed interest. I think, if you think  
about it, you can think of some implementation issues there.) The  
original purpose of the system was to broadcast earthquake and storm  
(typhoon, etc.) warnings and such.

There are some lists in which no news is good news. That does not  
mean the list is useless.
