As I mentioned yesterday, there is a small, but dedicated group of experimenters. In my view, these experimeners will increasingly use licence-free bands such as LoRa at 868 or 915MHz.
In my view, Meshtastic and Meshcore are in their infancy. Given this, I expect we will see maturity in the next 10 years. In theory, these rely on mesh networks and don't depend on the internet. In big cities where coverage is good, this is fine. In rural areas, or areas with poor coverage, meshes may not reliably cover an area. Over time, these gaps are likely to be filled in.
I can imagine we will see "mature" data transceivers in the near future.
Is this where real experimenters will be found?

I agree Roger. I've been experimenting on both. The software is way too complicated by now to use it as "emergency" network. Besides that there are different views on how to use and implement the software dividing users in multiple local "groups". There are to many different firmware versions made by people that don't agree with others. In short, it is only good for experimenting. By the way I have a reliable coverage of about 10-15km which is not bad for such little devices with QRPp power. 73, Bas
