I never understood the popularity of these protocols, because when I looked at the legal duty cycles and multiplied that by time in a day and instantaneous bitrate, the result was a disappointing amount of data per day...
So many spectrum rules are totally weird though: should they be interpreted per radio device? or per user?
What -apart from cost- prevents a user who wants more bandwidth from installing 10 devices in parallel and alternate each radio so none of the radios exceed their allowed transmit duty cycle?

Folks with badges knocking on the user’s door. It is pretty trivial to locate stationary signals.
The point they are making is that if the limit is _per device_ than using 10 devices doesn't break the rules.
Meshtastic routing is also completely broken.
