Public Crypto BLOG: IUNGO - Global WiFi Blockchain Network

The Global Internet Service Providers industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in the global economy. Explosive growth is being propelled by rapid advancements in internet-related infrastructure and services, as the emergence of a plethora of powerful personal and business internet applications has transformed how businesses and consumers operate. Rapidly rising demand for broadband internet access and continued investment in wired internet infrastructure have helped propel the industry forward.

According to IBIS World research, the annual growth rate between 2012 and 2017 was 8.8%. The majority of Internet service providers are multi billion dollar Telecommunications companies like AT&T, Verizon and China mobile.

IUNGO is a globally distributed wireless internet service provider built with the help of a worldwide community. We are bootstrapping a community where everyone can assume responsibilities and benefit from the associated rewards for running parts of the service delivery infrastructure. Members can contribute by installing Public Wi-Fi access points on their premises and/or running parts of the service infrastructure.

IUNGO network will rely on the existing physical Internet infrastructure to carry end-user traffic and will form an overlay network with unified end-user identification, authentication and billing systems. We will use the Ethereum network to build trusted, transparent accounting and payment infrastructure. Our mobile applications will enable low granularity service usage accounting and compensation for services rendered. Additionally to the software solution, hardware will be offered as an option, with pre-setup routers available for those seeking a consumer friendly plug and play experience.
