Millions of smart meters will fail when 2G and 3G turns off
(www.theregister.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
After rolling out 3g router fail over for pokies, lotto, wagering in Oz I'm sure the money they saved from no longer having any downtime can pay for 4G, 5g, and starlink redundancy.
5 hours of driving across Oz? Wouldn't even make Carnarvon Gorge much less Mount Isa.
Beautiful country to drive across tho.
One of those places was Mt. Isa. It was equipment for mining.
