We need a new internet, a new way to connect.

But what if you could chain the smart phones and laptops of the world together using WiFi and Bluetooth to create a wireless network that was free and open to everyone, with no need for Big Telecom?

Same goes for other projects using the same frequencies. WiFi HaLow, LoRa/Meshtastic/LoRaWAN, Z Wave, Zigbee, Sigfox. All great tech.
