You do not need more than 1kbps

For most true IoT applications 1kbps is more than sufficient. Sesors, alerts, commands, etc do not need more.

Neat idea and thankfully (to IBM) not particularly patentable as this was this method of networking was developed extensively in one of the European labs in the 60-es and abandoned due to inability to go beyond 20-30kbps.
