This looks like a great use case for blockchain technology. And the best part: it's already a working product.
It's a bit like WifiSpots from Ziggo (a Dutch internet provider, except that now you can earn from sharing your bandwidth).
The only thing that might hamper adoption is the fact that, (at least in Europe) roaming costs are starting to disappear. But even then, wifi will always be faster than 4G. And for laptops it's great to be able to go online at all.
Thanks! Yes 4G is getting bigger but that's in a few big cities and most parts of the world still suffer from poor connectivity. Also, since our primary target market is travelers and tourists, the comparatively low prices should drive adoption.
true and 4g sucks....im with a "big" company and the network is not even close to wifi......wifi rules
In which country are you to say 4g sucks ? I used it in France, Hungaria, Germany, Cambodia, Indonesia and South Korea, when you have 4g the networks is really good and better than the wifi (Can depend on fiber or ADSL it's true) for these countries.
The problem of the 4g is the network coverage and the cost that is quite high. Some countries are even talking about 5g, which would be even better, even If I would prefer them covering more territories with 4g.
I think almost all wifi connection is using fiber optic now, especially in areas that have been covered by 4g, because surely the area is a popular area. Also because even you say that the 4g area is still limited and the price is still quite expensive, so I prefer wifi and wifi stability is still better to play online games.
I hope this project will become very popular later (even a trending topic) and then almost everyone around the world will use this app.
So wherever we go, there will always be someone who shares their wifi connection.
