I really wish this idea of a phone which can be used for decentralized and/or local communications will come to fruition.
Being able to call someone near you in a shopping mall, or in the neighborhood, as with a walkie talkie over wifi network would be great.
Also, being able to use wireless mesh network like the RightMesh mobile mesh networks would allow phone/video call without classical ISP.
Maybe this would make them lower their subscription fees.
Another thing which would be useful for such objectives, would be to also develop FOSS Internet Box with wifi and/or LTE.
This would benefit both the PineCom and the PinePhone.
