As someone living in one of those countries, I got to ask, have you actually visited one of them?
Sure if you go to a rural place then a solid electric grid may be an issue, but not at all in mid to large cities.
For anyone reading, really feeling lonely and having the means yo affort it. Come and visit a country like Colombia, we love having people over and making friends (really honest and helpful ones) is what we do best. I met an Austrian girl last week who told me she never felt as much in home as the next day she landed here. She now quit his tech job in Europe and moved here.
I got in touch with one of the founders, he proceed to ask me to develop one integration with the product and upload it to github, after it was done, he never reply back. Wasted 1 full day on it. The whole experience was very frustrating.
I am also Colombian and I would honestly recommend you and every other Colombian out there to read the peace terms before taking a stand. Either if you are voting yes or no. I know 297 pages sound like a lot, but the terms are written in an easy to follow language and are worth the reading.
Even though I compleatly agree with everything being said in the article ,it highly understimate how hard it actually is to build a semi-complex IoT product. Our startup realized this after 2.5 years in the making of a Smart Things competitor. For example, to debug something you need to check a larger set of things (cliente, backend, hardware, embedd software, network, etc). It will all get better but as of today it really is hard to achieve.
Love it, played for like 30 minutes. There used to be a great Facebook game called GeoChallenge similar to this, for some reason got terminated and I never played another Facebook game after.
