WEA Clickable References Compliance Time Frame Delay Took Effect Monday

The FCC extending the time frame for compliance with wireless emergency alert rules requiring participating commercial mobile services provide clickable embedded references in WEA messages from 12 months to 30 took effect Monday, said that day's Federal Register. It said the extension doesn't apply to AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint and U.S. Cellular. It said the extension was in response to CTIA (see 1708170017) seeking reconsideration and Competitive Carrier Association similarly seeking more time (see 1708160063), which CCA didn't get for geo-targeting.
