I read your whitepaper, the idea is interesting but how is this supposed to work?
You are trying to offer something that you have no control over, namely unused mobile data traffic.
What leverage do you have over telecom providers?
How are you going to convince them to open their data links to users from abroad just because they have some DENT?
Are you hoping to form a massive userbase which is supposed to pressure their mobile providers to implement DENT?
How are you going to achieve a massive userbase without any funcionallity in the beginning?
What should incentivise telekom providers to use DENT? 33 milion is peanuts for Deutsche Telekom or Verizon. I guess the cost of implementing is higher than that? And if this ever becomes something that market strongly demands why wouldn't telekom providers come up with their own solutions and sideline yours?
It would be interesting to know what the team about this project can tell...
And answering this: "And if this ever becomes something that market strongly demands why wouldn't telekom providers come up with their own solutions and sideline yours?"
Telekom providers won't show any type of these solutions, because their paradigma, way of thinking or the way they see things is not about bringing this type of solutions to mobile users, their goal is to make profits, make money, that's their main focus and goal. In order to achieve something like this, there is the need to think beyond this mentality that most people working in a corporation have these days.
Hi,
Telcos could of course come up with island solutions for their own user base, in fact some telcos have already provided some sort of data pooling or roll-over to the next month, however with DENT we are bridging across operators, and we are providing a platform which scales and removes the need for each and every operator to provide their own. DENT will provide simple integration to the telcos and the telco’s users are ready to go.
Cheers, Mikko
It would be very helpful for potential investors if dev could give us few examples of real life use cases of these "mobile data" that will be connected to a Dent token.
May someone answer my question?
This project (DENT) is really interesting and like everybody else I want it to be successful. However, I don't see how the team is able to implement it. Let assume that the team is able to collect the maximum amount in the ICO and is well supported by the community. Development and marketing goes really well and the community base grows exponentially.They release the app in which users can share data and earn Dent coins. People starts using and things started to get traction.
The operators looses their revenue and soon finds about DENT and the revolution!
And now comes the problem : do you really think the operators would allow this? They could prevent users from sharing data via a third party app like Dent. Even if the users somehow manage to share data, won't there be legal actions from the operators against the users and DENT?
How is the team going to face these issues and counter them? The team really needs to explain and nail these issues if this project has to become a long term success like an Uber of Internet data. Remember that Uber is facing hell lot of issues right now even after disrupting the field in which it deals with.
I would greatly appreciate if the team answers this and add a well featured video about it in youtube, even write a detailed blog about this issue.
This project is never going to work for the reasons noted above. Why would the telcos ever allow their mobile users to share or sell the data that they don't even own, especially when the telcos spent billions on building the infrastructure?? Uber works because people own their vehicles. Mobile users do not own their data.
Still awaiting a good/legitimate explanation to this problem from the DENT representatives. If they can provide a good explanation I have + 200 eth to invest. Thx
