I have wondered about this. It would likely start out very expensive but could get cheaper over time if it got any traction. Would it ever be as cheap as the current crop? Unlikely. The initial market would definitely be limited to those wi

Sure but I imagine it has resulted in a lot of exposure for Technology Connections.

For me it’s really cool just to be able to speak with someone halfway around the world with no infrastructure other than your radios.
