The FCC is now requesting daily reports. The FCC has also expanded the
area it requests reports, including North Carolina, South Carolina and
Virginia.
Of course, DIRS is "voluntary." There doesn't seem to be any benefit for
communication providers. DIRS doesn't appear to improve or speed up any
disaster recovery efforts.
