there’s no telephony in Project Santa Cruz

Why not? You mean I can't use this thing in a parking lot that's outside of wi fi range? Some sort of networking will be key for multi-user experiences.

I guess it could use bluetooth tethering to piggyback off your phone, but that doubles the number of batteries I need to worry about. On the other hand, I wouldn't love to pay for a cell plan on yet another device. So, maybe that wouldn't be such a bad tradeoff.
