Front End Tech Lead Manager

Why the world needs our mobile connectivity exchange

Mobile connectivity is a scarce resource for most people. Its affordability varies wildly from one country to another. The cost of a 500 MB of connectivity represents 30 minutes of work for an American while it’s 40 hours for a Mexican. Furthermore, when traveling, people either have to pay roaming fees or face the friction of dealing with local carriers.

Something has to change in the telecom space, and our proposition is a unified exchange on which actors such as carriers, Mobile Virtual Network Operators, IoT providers, phone makers and many more can trade connectivity to drive prices down and enable new experiences for users and businesses.
