CEBU, Philippines--Cell broadcasting is a common yet overlooked feature in today's mobile phones. A team of engineering students for La Salle Bacolod bagged the P500,000 top prize in the recent Smart SWEEP contest for a mobile application they created, which uses cell broadcasting to send disaster-related warnings to subscribers within affected areas. Team leader Delman Alagao explains how the application works. Video taken by INQUIRER.net reporter Lawrence Casiraya.

  • can anyone tell hor get authorization for cell broadcasting or how to register for that and wat was that site on which that guy was giving the demo, if anyone can tell plz do reply if u can den try to reply in my mgs box. tnx

  • how do you do it///

  • Everyone can RECEIVE broadcast messages but only those duly authorized persons can access the Cell Broadcast Broker and send broadcast messages. They are given specific usernames and passwords and all broadcast messages are logged in the broker.

  • so everyone can broadcast. This is a good idea to broadcast local calamities. My question is, what if some dimwit broadcast a hoax calamity and causes everyone to panic.
