for a do-drop-in. You'll be able to pull that radio out of your pocket, go to channel 35, and boom, you're on do-drop-in. Easy as all that. I mean, there's no hotspots, there's no tether into your cell phone, there's none of that stuff. You just turn it on, and you get your service right away. Now, a lot of these radios do also have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. So if after that first year, you don't feel like renewing the cellular service on it, you can still use the radio. You just connect it up to your home Wi-Fi, and you're off to the races. The network access is built into the radio. The recurring charge is just for anywhere in North America is SIM, right? And that's once a year. A limited service for a year is crazy to me. It still sounds crazy to me. But they've got agreements with all the main cell phone carriers and stuff. There's a lot of stuff in the back end that makes it work like it does. But man, I spent most of the weekend on that network.
