    How does the Bluetooth work? If you’re close enough to be in bluetooth range with someone aren’t you close enough to just speak to them?

      One use case could be mass protests/uprisings, where you have a lot of people congregated in a small area. An increasingly popular strategy among governments these days is to just shut down the entire internet in an agitated region. Bluetooth could keep information flowing between people with only mutual contacts, as they move in and out of range.
