My feeling of late (even prior to today) is that when the announcement of partnership finally happens it will be read by the market as desperation, rather than grand strategy. T-Mobile's C-suite seriously screwed the pooch on this whole thing by waiting so long.
@Defiantclient2 Well, also, it would be borderline retarded not to delay news by a day or two because otherwise it's possible to intercept the shipment in transit. Ideally they also route the shipment along different roads each time as well.
Standard convoy security practices.
@thekookreport When I was deployed in Africa I watched people travel miles just to bathe themselves in dirty river water. These people have nothing. Cell service is scant and only available close to a metro area (such as there are). D2D would solve thousands of necessities for them instantly.
@thekookreport Unironically FB marketplace would be an excellent application for D2D. Imagine how many villages in Africa/low cell coverage areas would benefit from being able to conduct commerce without having to travel a significant distance to bring wares to market.
