    I can see it now: poor man's wireless network of gaining internet access through bluetooth mesh of hacked neighbors.

    10 kB/s is not enough to browse the web.

    It is however enough to cause trouble, especially if connected devices control important building systems.

    Such gadgets have been notorious for their poor security, even when we deal with critical stuff like medical equipment.

    So maybe before building an entire worldwide network of those, how about enforcing some actual security standards?

    Yeah it was, I remember those old days of modem connections, we were lucky to get the 56k speed upgrade over the older 33.6k before.

    But, it was.. when websites were very very light to browse, only handful of websites were heavy and slow. now you just can't live with 10kB, but 10kB is like 80kb modem which does not exist.. it's like 2x 64 ISDN on that time..

    That's all I get out of Verizon Wireless, when I have any connection at all (Downtown Chicago).

    It's not clear to me: can the Bluetooth LE/Mesh coexist and be active simultaneously on the same device (e.g a smartphone) with other Bluetooth protocols (e.g file access or HAD audio streaming)? Does it use a separate antenna and/or separate frequency bands?

    No separate antennas will be required, it will "coexist" in the same devices, but I don't think mess will be able to be used at the same time with file access transfers or HAD audio streams. It will most likely be an additional mode of Bluetooth, using the same antenna.

    Flash demise is not interesting enough for AT?

    I am looking to https://bluetoothwindows10.com/ for learning how to Bluetooth turn on windows 10.
