Life is more than that competitions?

For example, antirez mentioned LoRa in the earlier thread - that's a cheap, license-free radio, which achieves a large range at the expense of low rate (250 bit/sec). That's 30 bytes/second, not including framing overhead and retransmission.

If you wanted to build a communication system out of those, this compression method would be great. You'd have LORA device that connects to a regular cell phone and provides connectivity, and all the compression/decompression and UI happens on the cell phone. 150MB is nothing for modern phones, but you'd see a real improvement in message speed.
