Telco's AWS Moment Is Already Happening
from Unblock'd
Telco is quietly having its AWS moment.For decades, wireless carriers have carried the full weight of building coverage themselves: towers, real estate, hardware, maintenance, tens of billions of dollars a year in capex per carrier. Helium Foundation CEO Scott Sigel joins Unblock'd to explain how a tokenized, community-built network is turning that fixed cost into usage-based infrastructure, and why it's already partnering with AT&T, T-Mobile. We get into how HNT tokenomics actually work, why Helium walked away from token buybacks, and why the network's biggest win might be that a major part of 3.5 million daily users have no idea a blockchain is involved at all. Scott also breaks down how AI-driven data surges could bring Uber-style dynamic pricing to wireless, what's next as Helium expands into Mexico, Brazil, and the UK, and the emergency deployment that got thousands of phones connected after a hurricane knocked out power on the US East Coast.Visit here to know more about Helium:https://www.helium.foundation/https://www.helium.com/......................................................................Unblock'd podcast with Dr. Jemma GreenFor more information on Dr. Jemma GreenVisit: https://www.powerledger.io/Or connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jemmagreen/-------------------------------------------------------------
