Cellphone Straitjacket Is Inspiring a Rebellion
- Tichy 19y agoThat article seemed rather low on content, but the fundamental question remains: how could the carriers be replaced. Would individually operated antennas be feasible? I think it is more an economics problem than a technical problem. Some kind of Micropayment scheme would have to make it sustainable for individual antenna operators to allow users to log in. Things like that exist for WLAN hotspots, but how well are they doing? Another problem would still be the frequency negotiation, we wouldn't want more antennas in any one region than necessary.
