If this technology is going to exist, it needs competitors or things will get ugly quickly.

  There is competition: Helium seems to be doing a very similar thing (although "on the blockchain" and with its own cryptocurrency to go with it, which I have not looked at in detail and can't vouch for in any way). For a more limited use case (for now), Apple is a competitor too with their "find my..." network as well. I'm hoping for an open alternative to show up as well.

    What is Helium? Do you have a link please?

      Not sure whether there are any rules on linking/promoting crypto projects here, and please don't consider this an endorsement in any way, but you'll be able to find it when searching for "helium hotspot".
