Good read. I didn’t understand the paragraph about DTC text messages in hurricane relief requiring hardware (and subscription). I know people that sent text messages during this time from their cell phone with no additional hardware. Can you explain that further?
- This debate feels like deja vu, and that thought sent me down a few rabbit holes - LightSquared/Ligado (L-band, concern of interference with GPS) among them.
- Very striking that VZ and T have agreed to provide 850 MHz - the original cellular band in the US - to ASTS - and 700 MHz.
