If you want to let people know you don't like that here's where:

I know this doesn't affect that many people but they gave like no warning so I guess now's the time to say something if you care.

@moira This is crazy stupid.

There are soooOOooo many places without cellular service that will not have reliable alerting and weather information now.

Did they consult literally anyone outside of a big city?

Feedback submitted!

@moira Does this mean marine VHF weather broadcasts will end? There's parts of Lake Ontario (one of the narrower of the Great Lakes) where you cannot get a cell signal. And if you can't get an offshore cell signal there, you sure won't on Lake Huron and Superior and probably Lake Michigan too. That's not cool or safe, if the marine VHF weather broadcasts are ending....
