> Startups have started building low-bandwidth wireless networks for connected devices that cost only a fraction of the subscription fees for LTE networks.
Why, exactly? I wondered the same thing--what are these so-called startups that are achieving this, how big a trend is this, is it just a local Silicon Valley thing or is it widespread, etc.? Seems like the author dropped the ball here.
I've read articles about at least two, but sadly can't find them now. They use unlicensed spectrum to deliver low data rates, which is enough for IoT devices.
Too bad they didn't name these startups.
