Uplift: Community-Owned Mobile Network
NBA champion Tristan Thompson and World Mobile have launched Uplift, a community-owned mobile network.
Uplift offers unlimited data plans starting at $9.99 per month and is built on blockchain technology and a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN).
The idea behind Uplift is to challenge the $2 trillion telecom industry’s centralized model by allowing users and local operators to share in the value they create.
- Every subscription contributes to neighborhood-level network expansion.
- Local hosts, known as "AirNode operators", earn a portion of network revenue by providing community coverage.
