The biggest problem with Beacons is that the range is unpredictable.

Without a better handle on proximity, many of the use cases I can immediately think of are of no greater benefit than GPS or WiFi nodes.

It's a shame, because there are some amazing things you can do once you are able to start exchanging data based on passing a node by (< 3 meters)
