It sounds perfect for local-area SMS?



Very nice! But that's exactly what makes the question legitimate: why don't smartphones have this functionality, or at least the hardware to enable apps that would offer it?


Yeah - not too interested in the exact how / mapping on to existing spectrum. More interested in the why part of working out why local is not as prevalent as further afield.


I like the idea of this but the choice of colours on this website is actively user-hostile (e.g. bright green on a light background is unreadable).
