Wavyr's guiding philosophy echoes the idea of a "People's Network," where the infrastructure is deployed and operated by the users themselves. We're shifting from passive consumption of centrally provided bandwidth to active participation in producing and sharing bandwidth.
Imagine neighborhoods pooling their resources to ensure everyone has internet access, or tech enthusiasts deploying nodes that improve connectivity while earning rewards.
Traditional telecom models often leave rural or low-income areas under-served. Wavyr enables anyone in those areas to become a provider and earn income.
A decentralized mesh offers alternate paths for data, inherently harder to censor due to lack of central choke points, upholding user privacy and internet freedom.
A handful of telecom companies control vast swathes of the network, leading to high prices and limited innovation.
Centralization leads to critical vulnerabilities where a single fiber cut can knock out connectivity for tens of thousands.
Rural or low-income areas are under-served because building infrastructure there is less profitable for traditional providers.
Wavyr's model spreads the economic benefits of the connectivity industry. Instead of telecom profits going exclusively to shareholders of large corporations, value goes to everyday people running nodes.
Developers can build new services on top of Wavyr without asking for permission. The network becomes a platform for innovation, tapping into a global talent pool for ideas and improvements.
"We are motivated by both the success of earlier pioneers and the pressing need to go beyond those first steps, toward a multi-purpose, community-owned connectivity fabric."
