I don't think their derivatives are party to the same coverage in those way out places? Restricted bandwidths etc....not sure, but I think thats the case. Hmm a fairly wide digression from the topic, So...... I wonder if Amazon will be offering a Sim service? (That's better lol) |

Re: Amazon incoming ...
Me thinks all this talk about Amazon efficient delivery is wishful thinking, balarney and to cut it short total bullshit.
Amazon US just switched a massive amount of their parcels in Amazon utopian land to USPS..... Here's what the US citizens think of that. They are actually supposedly slightly worse than Aus Post https://www.consumeraffairs.com/deli...al_service.htm Here's the UK version and the Royal Mail delivers Amazon as well. https://www.consumeraffairs.com/deli...al_service.htm Guess who gets the best reviews of a bad Bunch. https://www.productreview.com.au/p/a...t-eparcel.html I am now very sure drones will never ever be used to deliver parcels in Urban Centers, the public won't cop it..... The noise pollution, privacy and potential danger. |

Amazon are more smoke and mirrors where there is a distinct difference between expectation and reality. Investors are starting to see that bigger does not conclude with complete dominance. The last mile is the nut they cant crack, and that becomes their undoing. Huge overheads with no real profitability will cause investor panic when lean overhead based competitors spread with profitability. |

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/1...parcel_drones/ https://dronelife.com/2017/12/07/goo...-capabilities/ Project Wing’s concept is both simple and extraordinary: drone delivery is just a part of what they call a “new commerce system.†https://www.suasnews.com/2017/12/thr...will-surprise/ |

Public opinion is the hurdle that drones will face and IMO it is insurmountable. Wait till the tidal wave of protest starts. |

You also have the people who live on or close by a flight path where drones are not allowed (in theory) to fly. Not a huge amount of people granted.
Auto drones have too many hurdles to be viable anytime soon. |
Re: Amazon incoming ...
Thus far Amazon AU is a total damp squib. Didn't see any items from them this morning.

What was all the hype about ? It will get better when Amazon get serious and launch their own products and start selling more directly. ATM it only seems like it's mainly Amazon Marketplace |
