Hello to all interested in public warning systems via mobile phones!

Let me introduce myself, my name is John Tacken and I work for Conict Consultants BV (www.conict.com). Our company is completely independent and so are our views submitted through this website.

I have been intensively involved in the development of NL-Alert, the Netherlands national public warning system via mobile phones. The system uses cell broadcast technology and works via the 3 mobile operators in The Netherlands. As chairman of the EU project: cell broadcast for public warning, I know most people working in this area in Western European countries.

Via this blog, I want to share some information and experience that I am allowed to share with you. Please do not hesitate to enhance the information provided or challenge the views that I express.
