What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Service is genuinely commercially live with real coverage and cross-carrier pricing, but capabilities remain narrow (text + curated data, native voice still in development) so it must be scoped as a fallback channel.
Next
Treat DTC as a text-first, narrow-data fallback for off-grid users; design for high latency and an app allowlist, not as a primary data path or a voice channel.
