I have a feeling this is just the start. I haven’t heard much more about amazon street? Whatever their share everyones connection was. Then good old comcast and the free wifi usage (but I get those are home broadband setups). Now to see when android setups have something like the Air Tags.

They ride some random persons data plan? I realize it is such a small amount of data but that is a pretty sneaky way of getting a free ride.

How do the air tags work. In other words, how do they get connectivity to the world. Most of the stuff I have read talks about blue tooth but that isnt worth anything over distance. I rent out some construction equipment and I am thinking of putting them on the equipment.
