I think low speed protocols like LoRA or relatives of it are more likely to be used for this. They're very low power, low overhead, and hard to block.
That's exactly the privacy endgame though: stuff a chip with cellular capability into everything you can and stream data to data brokers for double-dip profit whether the customer likes it (or even knows it) or not. The market for data about people seems to be almost infinite and bottomless.
This can only be fixed with legislation. I predict it will become a major battle in the future.
- YeBanKo 4y agoIf I understand correctly, LoRA is more suited when you want to have a fluid decentralized networks, when nodes come in and out all the time and you aren’t concerned by latency. This is the opposite if what telcos want. They want to have a low latency connection to every device in the house. Imagine your toaster and your tv stream in real time to an ad server what your are doing. You put a piece of bread in the toaster, while you wait you walk to your TV, start using the remote and you have a peanut butter commercial on Hulu. And this link inside the consumers homes is handled by 3 US cellphone carriers, not much competition. Or maybe it is just me being paranoid.
