Do you travel a lot? Do you pay unnecessary roaming charges? Is it a pain switching mobile services while traveling? Looks like someone found the solution to that problem.
There's a new player in the mobile data field who found a backdoor to decentralize the mobile operator industry = for the people.
Meet DENT
What is DENT?
Inspired by Steve Jobs and his quote,"We need to make a dent in the universe." The team behind DENT is passionate to make a dent in the mobile data industry. They are aiming to unite the telco providers and the people while providing value for both. It's the ultimate decentralized mobile data exchange platform.
They are addressing these three focal points:
- DENT enables a "Data Sharing Economy", where their token is used as a world-wide currency between the people and mobile service providers. Token holders can freely buy, sell, and donate their tokens (in a form of mobile data) to anyone.
- No more international roaming charges.
- Best price possible, no matter where you are. With their automated purchase of data packages capability, DENT lets the user get the best price possible from the most suitable operator in the region. No more worrying about too much or too little data!
DENT Mobile App.
Their mobile app for iOS and Android will work as a wallet to store your tokens. It will also work as an interface to exchange (buy, sell, donate) your tokens (mobile data) with other users.
How will this all work?
Suppose I am a customer of Verizon traveling from U.S to Italy with 5000 DENT tokens. I land in Italy, and I access my DENT app (through airport wi-fi) to buy mobile data that I need from someone in the region, or specifically Italy.
And that's it. I don't have to buy a new sim card or service. I can start using my phone instantly on the Italian network without any agreements with any data carrier or roaming charges.
Verizon gets transaction fees, and the Italian network provider gets their network utilized. Everyone's happy!
DENT Token Sale.
100 Billion tokens are created with 70% for sale and 30% remains in their company for marketing, network stability, telecom acquisitions, salaries, bonuses. Unsold tokens will remain in the company too. The company has also pledged 1 Billion tokens to the UN SDG program for the developing countries to access mobile data.
DENT token sale is starting on 12 JULY, 2017 at 2 PM London Time (GMT+1) and will go on for two weeks until 26 JULY, 2017.
Ethereum is accepted for the purchase of tokens.
Token sale's estimated token value in Ethereum is 152,000 ETH. (subject to variations throughout the sale)
Exchange rate is 1 ETH = 400,000 DENT*

I am all for decentralization, so I am really excited about this project. It's been a minute since I have seen a revolutionary project like this. This should help countless travelers who travel for work or leisure. It fits with my own personal future plans too, so fingers crossed!
