FlashCast beats dirt
FlashCast beats dirt: Great news, for the tectonically-concerned in Tokyo... mobile providers DoCoMo and KDDI are cooperating on an earthquake notification system, which can transfer information from a plate shift to sensors to network to individuals faster than the shockwaves can penetrate the ground. Result: you know of the earthquake before it arrives. We're gradually hooking up individuals to remote sensors all around the world.... (I'm not positive that they're actually using the Adobe Flash Cast publishing service for this relay, but both DoCoMo and KDDI rely on the Flash Cast push services, and DoCoMo's post-quake message board is already in their i-mode system, and I liked the title.... ;-)
