I mean… it’s not a network technically. it’s a broadcast station (though the stations themselves are networks)
It still requires being in range of a (network of) wireless transmitter(s). I’d have written ‘without mobile networks’ or ‘cellular networks’ or ‘data connection’ or ‘IP networks’ as it’s a broadcast and not a two-way communication.
Sure, it’s nitpicking and they’re technically correct but it’s also imprecise wording. It’s still wireless transmissions and not magic.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
