What if the rarity is also in a remote place just down the road from
where you are?????
Plenty of good birding spots that are in remote locations that are
relatively well travelled by birders. I'd be even more annoyed if i
had made a trip all the way to the Kimberley or Cape etc only to find
that i had missed something while i was there.

Several people have mentioned the problem of receiving email in remote
areas, e.g. via an iPhone, etc. I'm wondering how important this is
to most people. If you're in a remote area, are you going to be
willing to drop everything and go somewhere to see a bird somewhere
else?
I would have thought you'd only be interested if the alert was for
something close by (in which case you'd be very annoyed to have been
so close but to have missed it). But what are the chances of that?
I'm guessing that usually it would be ok to wait until you can get
email again.
I'm just guessing about this, I'm rarely out of range for long myself,
unfortunately.

Then, there is no guarantee people would even receive the news.
IPhone or not, you don't log on all day every day and you certainly
don't can't use an iPhone in much of the outback - though you can get
mobile reception, though GPRS is going to be costing you the
equivalent of satellite bandwidth (~$10 / MB).
