@eff foot notes 2 and 3 seem identical

@eff The needed Orbic-Device is US-only or am I missing something?

@eff I'm gonna make one this weekend!

@eff will an American-bought device function usefully outside of the US? or does it require Verizon access to work?

@eff
It would be nice if the hardware was available outside of the US without having to order it from the US. This is not a good choice, unless you live in the US

@eff
My sister is absolutely convinced that Goodwill uses these to prevent your cell phone from working within the store. I am pretty convinced a used car dealer I visited is using one as well. I've got my order in for several of these devices and will be using your firmware to investigate.

@eff Don’t want to rain on this parade but getting data from outside of US will probably be hampered by the fact that the device does not seem to be readily available outside of US. That said In have a suspicion the hw inside is hardly unique, any chance of getting a release for more ubiquitous models as well?

@eff A tool widely unknown and widely used by the police!

@eff
Does the hotspot need a wireless account of its own?

@eff Oredered one. Great idea and project.

@eff Is there any way normal people with just a phone can help?

Are projects like @beacondb able to make assessments? They should e.g. know how far a tower reaches.
Can you combine such data sources and in which way?

@eff

@openrightsgroup
Might be up for adapting this for the UK?

@eff so that actually exists? I thought it was @pluralistic's invention, nope, the world really is as bad
