WASHINGTON-Metrocall Inc. and Aether Systems Inc. have teamed to provide interactive news alerts and other information services from Congressional Quarterly to journalists and party officials at the Republican and Democratic national conventions this year.
The service, Pocket CQ-Alert, includes an instant messaging e-mail feature linked to Congressional Quarterly’s political help desk, which reporters can access to ask for additional background material. Users will also receive general and political news updates from the Washingtonpost. com.
The solution uses the T900 pager from Motorola Inc.
