Show Notes
Drone delivery is already a life-saving utility in parts of Africa, but in the US, it's hitting regulatory and economic turbulence. This episode explores why medical drones thrive in Rwanda while consumer pizza drops face a $63 cost problem. We unpack the "observer" bottleneck, the physics of battery weight, and the network slicing that keeps drones from falling out of the sky.
