from what i see (i am no meshcore expert), there is no evidence whatsoerver that a lora-only network could cover a dense urban environment at more than say 1 out of 1000 person, or maybe 1 out of 100..
also from what i see, people who are experienced with meshtastic/ore are prompt to comment on reticulum, even if almost nothing has been experimented yet with it.
also, as a bias it feels like everyone and _especially_ people experienced with meshtastic/ore would consider anything like "a big lora-only network" (and would compare so they can argue).
the promise of #reticulum is vastly different than that. almost opposite!
