The idea is that all RadarBox users (who hear about this and have an Internet connection) put aside any opinions they may have about the AirNav network and tick their Share option and share their data for a specific day. Which day that is can be decided sometime in the future.
My reasoning is that if those users who currently are deciding not to share were to share for all or part of the day, those of us who do get the network, and AirNav themselves, would get a real demonstration of just how powerful the combined data of all the RadarBox users around the world would be.
Naturally I exclude from the experiment those users who are worried about the local legality of sharing data – I’m only referring to the users who object on principle to subscribing to the network.
If the experiment is a success, it might encourage AirNav to dramatically reduce the price of the network subscription to encourage existing users to use it and to share, and new users to buy the kit and share, and thus expand the network even more, to everyone’s benefit.
AirNav would have to be prepared for a (hopefully) big rise in network traffic on the day, and have their servers on Max Effort too, but it could turn out to be a great demonstration of how good the RadarBox network really can be when all possible users are participating.
If the result of the poll is positive, I’ll do another poll to decide which date it will be (possibly around Christmas).
Please do not use this thread to complain about the network or its charges – that topic has been done to death. This is your chance to do something positive about it.
The poll results are hidden until after you vote, to discourage sheep-like behaviour! I'll make them public later (if the forum software lets me).
