Still too much.
It's like taking a bus to a race. Are they going to provide their own hardware? If yes go and improve the existing indicator system and then sell it back to FAA/airports. If not, I am going to get popcorn and watch as they kill our cell phone coverage.
I am not sure cell towers can take the extra load. I know I am rushing, but wait till instead of Fedex running around you see 1 drone per package, zipping through cells.
P.S. I think all these companies only care to get the FAA to sign off and allow package delivery (or spying, I mean "data collection" -- who knows). I feel they will come up with a clunky system that people are going to hate for years.
P.S.2: Didn't say anything about security or fairness considerations. I can easily see Amazon blocking a wide path for their drones and be like, we paid for it we get to use it bugger off.
- icebraining 9y agoThe extra load doesn't seem that much. It's a few more subscribers, but the data rates should be quite low. And if you have a swarm of drones, you could use a couple as hotspots for the others.
