US NWS has announced it will terminate FOS (Family of Services) on October 2 2015.

It is quite surprising for me. The deadline is so soon, but I guess NOAA has coordinated with their subscribers already, as the announcement mentions about funding from FOS customers.
FOS is going to be taken over by the Integrated Dissemination Project (IDP). I don't know much detail about IDP's services for operational users in the private sector. But it looks like there is going to be no land-line service other than Internet-based ones, looking at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwws/dissemination.html
I really don't know more than that: any information is appreciated.
