I'm just your average joe who enjoys reading HN. I have absolutely no technical background except for having just started out to learn to code.
That being said, and from what I understood from their webpage, their business is to sell a service / equipment for people who would like to in turn, resell that service.
I understand, in a way, needing an internet connection so the machine can work whichever way it was designed. Besides paying a different ISP for an internet connection, is there another way of getting an internet connection? If you need to pay an ISP for an internet connection, and then they find out - wouldn't they simply cut the service? (I'm talking about a scenario outside the U.S.)
hmmm.. alright, I just doubled checked their webpage to see if I missed something. Doesn't seem like it.
Edit: my bad. If it were early I would have said I didn't have my coffee yet. I'm just slow sometimes. I got it now.
Thanks for the clarification.
- industriousthou 12y agoSeems like you're simply going to have to pay for bandwidth so your users can call people outside the local network. Whichever ISP you use is going have to be comfortable with what you're doing or not care and be comfortable with the amount of bandwidth you're using. It's a limitation they don't really harp on, but it makes sense.
- prawn 12y agoWhy would they cut the service if you're paying for your data? You're not necessarily reselling internet but calls/SMS. Target market seems to be the cluey entrepreneur in a village in Papua New Guinea or anywhere else service is non-existent.
