Now imagine a future where every device you buy is connected to the internet wirelessly, whether you like it or not.

Then we start jailbreaking them to use as free modems and cost people who make that huge amounts of money, then they will stop.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why do peole care about helium so much?

People care about the value of their magic tokens and are spamming them in every online discussion in an effort to bring in more bag holders.

Agree. "awareness" drives people to own their token which will make them money.

I wonder which smart TV provider will be the first to use this instead of home wifi where people can disable or black hole connectivity.

This is a platform AWS is providing to make it easier for those who have private 5G networks to run/maintain those networks.

You seem to be interpreting this as "AWS is going to put 5G towers everywhere and smart TVs are going to connect to them to send data they collect!". That's not what this is at all.

This is one of the many reasons it's beneficial to read the actual article/post and comprehend the information, rather than reflexively reacting to keywords you notice in the title.

I'm curious to find out where this would be available. I spent about two years in an ISP provider and any service you wanted to add that involved telecom services required a million and one licenses and government permissions, most of which took months if not years.

Is that time already here? Fridges, washing machines, dishwashers, TVs etc.

Yes. Many devices will ask for a network or create a mesh network over wifi/bluetooth/zigby if one isn't presented to them.

You assume a future where internet is ubiquitous and fee and not a future where every device you own comes with the burden of a perpetual subscription in order to function.

I feel like this has come off the back of Amazon creating their own 5G for their warehouses and robots. Can any Amazon employees confirm this?

Can confirm there’s no internal use. It’s a fresh project to capitalize on 5g hype.

They’re working with a partner for hardware but redoing their software. So it’s a pretty low-touch white label job.

They have internal use planned but it was started explicitly for sale to external customers not internal.

This is such a dick move. Ex-AWS superstars built https://www.soracom.io/ , made AWS folks aware, who balked at a deal. Example 1198170892703973...

I don’t really follow you here. Is soracom entitled to 100% market share?
