Hey Guys, I've been thinking more about World Wi-Fi and what they're trying to do, which is to provide free public wi-fi across a majority of the globe. I've thought a bit about their business model and the way it will be more effective than past/current attempts. There are attempts at providing free Wi-Fi in some areas of the world, but there are a few glaring problems with them:
- Speed has notoriously been a problem with past attempts because of the large number of users who connect at the same time and the weakness of the public networks in relation to that number of users.
- The Areas Covered Aren't Broad Because Of The Lack Of Incentive In Areas
World Wi-Fi addresses these problems by incentivizing the running of private routers allowing the public access to free Wi-Fi through providing financial incentive to Router providers for ad impressions on their network. This addresses the problems in the following ways:
- Speed: Because users are paid based on their ad impressions, they have a reason to ensure adequate/competitive speed for their router. If a Router Host doesn't have adequate speed, users will choose to use other routers in the area. This will ensure that speed remains reasonable on the network.
- Geographic Disparity: The direct economic incentive to host routers will encourage people in broadly spanning different regions to host Routers and provide access to users.
I think that what World Wi-Fi is doing could be really big if they can implement all of the objectives in the roadmap that they have. You can find the details of their Roadmap in their whitepaper at:
