From what I understand the cell is about 13 km².
- forgot-im-old 3y ago13km diameter.. which is about 133km².
- Podgajski 3y agoAh, yes, thanks.
- numpad0 3y agoLTE user count limits per cell is like 500 to 1.5k, and 133km^2 is on par with Liechtenstein(160km^2, 40k population), so like, 7Mbps shared among top 1 - 3.75% of Liechtensteinians? That sounds prestigious...
- forgot-im-old 3y agoAnywhere with Liechtenstein's population density would already have cell service, so this wouldn't get used there anyway. This is for the 0.1-0.2% of the US population that doesn't have cell service at all (still prestigious in their own way, but also likely low income).
- herewulf 3y agoThere are lots of places in the US and Canada (to name a few) where people regularly go for outdoor recreation, or what have you, and there's no cell service anywhere near. This is very applicable to that case, not just where people actually live.
- modeless 3y agoDensely populated areas and even relatively rural areas will have regular cell towers. This is for the few people out of range at any given time, and also outdoors. 1-3.75% sounds plausible I guess? And there are plenty of much less populated areas than Lichtenstein.
