Today, the Internet is a critical infrastructure that enables the digital economy, including remote healthcare, education, employment, e-governance, social networks, and more. As such, Internet access should be considered a universal utility that is available to all. Although this vision is shared among major stakeholders, the reality of today’s Internet and its level of digital inclusion is plagued by a persistent digital divide. Increasing geographic and socioeconomic challenges separate those with sufficient access to the Internet and those who do not have access. The reasons for this are diverse. The Internet started off as a decentralized network, but has become increasingly centralized, with the vast majority of communications flowing through access and service infrastructures controlled by a relatively small set of corporations. The other estimated 4.1 billion excluded individuals are dependent on these few providers to bridge the gap. Decentralization of access capability is a form of empowerment, allowing for fairer participation. Decentralization permits smaller players (e.g. local stakeholders) to offer wider inclusive access. It is widely acknowledged that decentralized telecom infrastructures could serve to connect the remaining 4.1 billion who are poorly served now. At Ammbr, they are taking up the challenge of enabling universal access to high-speed broadband for all. To achieve this, they have an ambitious, yet realistic, vision of building the world’s largest decentralized, community-distributed, telecommunications network based on blockchain technology. Blockchain-controlled micropayments will incentivize and drive supply and demand. This will be added to World Wide Web Reference Subject Tracer™.
