Some Canadians will soon be able to access a new wireless network option with costs starting at $9/month.
Karrier One’s decentralized network uses blockchain technology to connect to 5G or 4G LTE networks, depending on availability.
The network is user-owned and lets Canadians act as Mobile Independent Network Operators (MINOs). Operators will create hotspots to spread connectivity across Canada through the use of Gateways (professional radio equipment and nodes) purchased from the company. Operators will receive utility tokens depending on how often their hotspots are used, which will reduce their wireless costs. Crypto-tokens will be one way the company pays its operators.
