  5. Summary Issues/Conclusions • Standardization of NWS data/products is critical • Combination of (1) IPAWS/CMAS for government-sponsored weather alerts to general public and (2) mobile weather services available from commercial providers is a powerful combination in meeting the needs of the general public 6/24/2011

  6. Summary Issues/Conclusions • There is general recognition that NWS does have a special interest in serving “core partners,” however – • More clarity regarding NWS definition of “core partner” is needed • NWS commitment to meet needs of core partners is understood, but should recognize that core partners also use commercially available services 6/24/2011

Summary Issues/Conclusions • Issues relating to assuring the quality of mobile weather services • Guaranteed delivery of alerts • Establishing qualifications of suppliers and identifying qualified suppliers • Emerging issues • Patents • Weather information to automobiles vs. distracted driving 6/24/2011
