@Belligerent Fool: I cannot speak about your country since I don't know which one we are talking about. If you have details on the specifications, availability, implementation, etc... Feel free to email me so it can be reviewed and taken into consideration for wider reach.
The targeted audience is much wider than governments and businesses providing free hotspots, although they would also benefit from the technology because of the lower cost of implementation/maintenance, even if they keep it free; driving the quality of the hotspots higher and providing much wider coverage are the main goals of the project.
Since there seems to be some confusion about the idea itself, an overly simplistic explanation would be that the reasoning behind it is very similar to the one for
blockchain crypto vs traditional bank.
Decentralizing, breaking down barriers (coverage, cross borders...), driving quality higher, driving cost lower, etc...The ICO world is filled with fakes, the skepticism is completely understandable, and actually recommended. Constructive and realistic critics are always welcome.
I would encourage anyone to do
as much research as they can on the subject before thinking about investing, research the examples I gave, and
make their own opinion on the viability
of the project, considering the changes that it would bring to the backbone of the infrastructure.
Feel free to reach out by email with any questions.
