On top of that, the government has shown considerable incompetence in dealing with Amber alerts, and burned through much of whatever goodwill the community had for the program in the beginning.
This sounds like a reasonable idea, but I wouldn't expect much from it.
Your previously getting on Amber Alerts on your phone, reminded me of something.
I have seen Amber Alerts on the electronic signs on the interstate. But they are not available on electronic signs, outside of the interstate. So, What good is an actual network. Since it won't be on county/city/town streets.
