    1. No it doesn’t scare mobile phone networks.
    2. Radio amateurs who are testing this are reporting all manner of issues.
    3. The source code was forked and people got their noses out of joint.
    4. I see no evidence that this will scale anywhere near the penetration of mobile phone networks.
    5. It shares the LoRA frequency bands that are miniscule compared with the spectrum use of mobile phones.

      When did it get forked?

      Also to me this is def a hobby and would have to get MUCH better at the hop/messaging system to come close to competing with anything. I liked the video for showcasing some of the capabilities. But the title is a bit silly.

      Point 1 - was thinking the exact same that put me off even watching it. There is no way this system could even match mobile networks from decades ago.

      It’s not a teaspoon to give up our anything but we have to be realistic with what we can and want to achieve with this.
