That makes no sense. LORAWAN is very, very limited by airtime, which is why the data rates are so abysmally low. You're never going to see a huge amount of traffic on it.

If we talk about say the TPMS information for 4 tires once per hour, that's not a lot of bytes. The value is in being able to send 24/7 with a very wide coverage, and no per-network setup (like asking for Wifi passwords- I pay for LTE just to avoid the hassle)
- verdverm 4y ago> and apparently also to a16z What they realized is that they could extract returns way earlier than the traditional exits of IPO or acquisition. They told at least one of these companies they didn't care if they ever made money. I'd be willing to bet my 1 BTC that A16Z knowingly participated in "scams", knowing that they would never get in trouble because they can operate in the gray zone and get away with it. They only believe in it because they can get the greenbacks out.
