Hi there, I am very pessimistic about this and it’s based on experience. This project is stone dead already depending on a couple factors: 1, global availability, it’s probably only available in the States right now and if it expands beyond that it’s to the ”countries that count” that’s the UK, Germany, France, China and so on. I don’t think it will make it to Scandinavia. Secondly it depends apparently on devices people have to set up and i’m sorry but this isn’t going to happen, not only for disabled or blind folks. If they can’t use beacons to transfer ads or something to you through your phone, or anything else that benefits other than disabled people they don’t care about putting those things up and much less maintain them, why should they, it doesn’t benefit them. (with ”they” and ”them” in this case i mean people who have responsibility for shops and other buildings) /Krister
