I look forward to seeing the response. However, I strongly suspect that the answer will be along the lines that Ohm is just a vehicle to rapidly establish the Buddy Platform as a credible and preferred 'exchange" or 'platform' for smart building/smart city data. Data storage, security, hosting, mining, analysis, enriching with other anonymised data, and any other way in which data can be commercialised. As a vehicle for this objective, I would have expected that their choice of technology standards would have been deliberately chosen to balance a number of factors like speed and cost and reliability and coverage and expected life etc....and that the weight of risk vs benefit would have tipped it towards established tech that exists in almost as many countries that are members of the UN.
When and if the time comes to upgrade the tech (likely to be many years and many millions of dollars later in customer revenue), BUD could (likely, would) do so at no consequential cost to the customer as they are on a service contract.
Just my hunch though. Let's wait to see what Dave says. Meanwhile, I trust the marketing team is out there selling the benefits and that not many people care about the tech specs. I may be wrong.

Agree as long it works NOW I can always change provider later but first mover adopters who want the savings now will tend to be sticky. Get into market place NOW
Then again Government IT Departments always want the latest and greatest that doesn't work until the consulting budget is exhausted
