Would you accept an engineering solution with 1 nine of reliability?
- scarface_74 2y agoSo do you have an engineering solution that will get bits over the internet to people who don’t have a phone or computer?
- Rhapso 2y agoProbably a well supported postal service as public infrastructure! Yes, you can make an app or sell a widget without supporting transactions via mail, but many companies providing critical services are starting to require cellphones to participate.
- scarface_74 2y agoOr you could just have a program where you tax cell phone and home phone bills to subsidize giving phones to people who can’t afford one…. https://www.fcc.gov/general/lifeline-program-low-income-consumers https://www.fcc.gov/general/lifeline-program-low-income-cons... This use to be limited to land line phones. But now is expanded to cell phones It’s much cheaper than physical infrastructure. But do you expect Amazon to except postal mail and work like the Sears Catalog?
- Rhapso 2y agoTIL This is great to see. Yes, assuming it is implemented well this is better than the sears catalog.
- scarface_74 2y agoFor landlines it’s been around since 1985. For cellphones since 2005.
