This wasn't the wifidabba I knew which was more like low-cost captive portals for tea stall vendors to make money off of?

Sounds like an interesting pivot. Can you please share the backstory, if you're okay?

How does Starlink and Amazon's Project Kuiper compare to FSOC in terms of delivering cost effective Internet?

Also, what are the most pressing challenges with a FSOC deployment? I'm guessing line-of-sight issues are a real problem?

5G changes things radically too, I guess, would wifidabba remain competitive in face of that?

Is wifidabba similar to something that https://starry.com is doing?

Is it the same tech Emrod is deploying in New Zealand? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24422897

Thanks and all the best!

As someone passionate about this space, I'll continue to keep an eye on your progress.
