Thanks for the summary!

I was wondering whether in the course of action competitors to new ATOCA
technology were identified?  Something along the lines 'don't do ATOCA
because X already does it', or similar?

I am aware of the following other technologies, according simply to povs
of Citizen and Generator (although there are more actors involved).

 From citizen point of view:
- one subscribes her mobile phone number to a City Hall administration
   and selects the type of alerts to receive by SMS.
- one bookmarks the URL of Weather (or other type) Alert web pages.

 From alert generator point of view:
- securely contact the Authority to inform of Alert.
- privately contact peer alert generators to confirm hypothesis. (this
   could be done by citizen as well).

(I am asking this after having been pointed to the ATOCA WG coming from
an effort in Intelligent Transportation Systems - ITS, where 'alerts'
may be sent between vehicles indicating approach avoid collision).

There were no alternative technologies that were roughly comparable.
3GPP defines cell broadcast technologies that have a wide reach, but
only within their networks.  Those would be the closest.

In many respects, that is part of why this work took so long to close.
 There is a big gap to fill.
