"Active Devices" metric likely to confuse most people #31

Closed PharkMillups closed 1 year ago

Currently new explorer shows "Active Devices" for both IOT and Mobile. To most people a "device" is going to be interpreted as an end device that uses the network, versus a Hotspot / Radio that is providing coverage. This will lead to significant confusion. Language should be updated to reflect that this metric is related to hardware providing coverage, not usage.
