    My point is, you need two devices and ALSO the knowledge to set up these devices, it was implicit in the comment, some “normal” people even need support to setup WhatsApp do you really think they will use that kind of stuff? $20 is not a lot of money but there are people who can’t afford it anyway. Unless you live in an overpopulated area it will be pretty hard to find someone else using that kind of device, it’s just another hobby like VHF/UHF and CB.

    Meshtastic it’s just coping it don’t have a real application and supposing someone make a business and start deploying the system for money the kind of people who are into it will say “greedy fuckers”

      Then they can’t afford a phone or monthly service plan or really any communication devices at all.

      Unless you live in an overpopulated area it will be pretty hard to find someone else using that kind of device

      Literally designed for rural areas with poor cell service.

      it don’t have a real application

      Wait the real application that I use to communicate with and manage my node doesn’t exist?

      supposing someone make a business and start deploying the system for money

      Yeah except this tech is already used with all kinds of smart and IoT devices.
