Helium Network Community has initiated a proposal to introduce LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS) for Helium IOT network education and experimentation, and to reduce rewards for hotspot owners in congested areas while increasing rewards for sparse areas.

According to Bloomberg, cryptocurrency startup Nova Labs is launching a mobile plan across the United States for $20 per month, which allows unlimited texting, calling, and data usage, while utilizing blockchain technology and T-Mobile's wireless network. Additionally, Nova Labs' Helium network works by using wireless hotspots that users can set up in their own homes, with outdoor versions available for $499 and indoor versions for $249. If the Helium hotspot is out of range, the phone will switch to T-Mobile's network. Helium states that hotspot owners can earn an encrypted token called MOBILE when people use the Helium network.
