Good point. We'll add that to the next post if there is a new record. Also what can be confusing is that the business viable part is even much smaller than the technical viable part. The low power operations is really only at lower SF7 or SF8. And we push our partners and ecosystem to keep the payload as small as possible as every byte counts. It is a completely different way of thinking than WiFi or cellular. Yet I do agree it is presented with the same terms and paradigm and that is confusing.

On that point, have you looked at Myriota's research? (https://myriota.com/) In developing their system they went right back to the fundamentals and reworked everything around the idea of short messages. For example, an implicit assumption in the Shannon bound is that the message length is long, so they figured out that their short message system doesn't obey the Shannon bound and designed the coding and so on accordingly. It's fascinating stuff if you're into information theory.
