| One area where people are rolling their own solutions is live broadcasting by independent journalists. My advice on the US market is to continue to focus on B2B because: 1. It is a natural extension of what you are currently doing and that provides the potential for "viral" sales when users change companies or companies expand to new markets or justs because people love your product. 2. The consumer use cases are probably few and reaching those few will be really hard because the communication channels are very noisy. 3. A $300 price point is high for consumer networking hardware in the US. 4. The costs are even higher because of the way consumers consume wireless service in the US. Typically, they have locked phones and a multi-year contract with a single provider. Unlike other parts of the world, consumers tend to not purchase unlocked phones and consume data by purchasing SIMS. 5. In the US, wireless data only service plans tend to be a premium product. 6. The existing wireless infrastructure tends to support normal high bandwidth consumer use cases such as watching Netflix. Good luck. |
