Bishop Whitewind@arstechnica This is incredibly funny :')

Paul Zawada@arstechnica “Critical infrastructure in the US and other countries use TETRA for machine-to-machine communication in SCADA and other industrial control system settings—especially in widely distributed pipelines, railways, and electric grids, where wired and cellular communications may not be available.” Call me skeptical, most CI operators in the US do not use TETRA at all, let alone for their critical OT applications.
