SMith ASHINGTON—The Federal Communication Commission’s deadline for broadcasters and cable systems to comply with the commission’s new Emergency Alert System (EAS) Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) open source code came and went on Saturday, June 30. But with the deadline, a new issue arose, concerning broadcast and cable operators that are not in compliance, even though they’ve technically had a number of years to prepare for the switch. The FCC mandate calls for the installation of CAP systems to run concurrently with the (still to be employed) EAS counterparts—with no date for when the CAP system, which generally costs from $2,000 to $7,000— must be implemented.

Repercussions will depend on how the FCC enforces the mandate, he said. “If an FCC inspector comes into a station and finds that it’s not CAP compliant, then the FCC office will probably send a Notice of Apparent Liability to the station mentioning this fact,” Rudman said. “Then the station typically gets a certain period of time to reply.” Eventually, an inspector would return to the station, “but no one EAS-CAP, PAGE 12 ➤ Equipment Reviews Reviewing RED remembering telstar Television went global 50 years ago by JaMeS e. O’Neal WASHINGTON—In today’s world where pizza pan-sized satellite antennas delivering hundreds of television channels are as common as starlings on rooftops of homes, businesses, and even RVs, few recall a time when receiving video from space was just a dream. Fifty years ago—July 12, 1962— that dream became a reality in a big way with the successful launch and activation of Telstar I and people from all nations of the earth taking notice as the United States, France and England exchanged television programs in real time for the first time.
