The biggest fucking problem with NB-IoT or LTE-M is the goddamn carriers--both managerial and technical.
1) Managerial--Just like back in the old days when the carriers stupidly fought the change from voice to data they are stupidly fighting the change from humans using the network to machines using the network. And it's just as stupid this time around and it will be just as stupidly profitable for them after the fact.
2) The carriers refuse to support older firmware so you have to be able to do multi-megabyte firmware updates every 3 months. This is anathema to anything running on a battery as your firmware updates are like 2 to 4 orders of magnitude(not exaggerating) larger than the total actual data your device will transmit over its lifetime.
The carrier cranio-rectal impaction is why LoRA still continues to exist and expand.

LoRAWAN certainly does make sense in some use-case applications. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMOwbNUpDQA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMOwbNUpDQA
