do you really expect this project to lead to new global physical infrastructure? it would be cool if that happened but it's incredibly unlikely
Parker James
Only during the testnet phase though. Next up long range antennas are being rolled out for a wireless meshnet

What am I looking at?

Expect the unexpected. Ten years ago:
>obama was just elected
>facebook was a private company
>worst recession in decades
If you had a time machine you reckon you could convince a single person of what the world would be like right now, without telling them/proving you could travel in time? Honest question

Not a lot of new infrastructure is needed, the oceanfloor fibers are already there. It would cost nothing for the current tier 2 providers who own the fibers to set up skywire and monetize their unused bandwidth, it's free money for them. The only thing difficult thing is connecting individual users to the fibers in the colo centers, and wireless antennas are being developed for that.

>wireless antennas are being developed for that.
It's going to be glorious when FCC rapes them.

And what happens when the telecom industry lobbies the shit out of a new internet which is decentralized, unregulated and will likely host thousands of deviant individuals who can't be tracked?
Like honestly, do you guys seriously think anybody will use this shit rather than the regular internet?
Hunter Nelson
they would have to rape individual people, skycoin is not a legal company.
They'd have to go from door to door telling people to remove their antennas. They're not gonna do it because it's a hassle
