ALTHEA
Althea is attempting to create a fast, affordable, locally run internet that empowers communities to build multi-stakeholder networks faster and more affordably than legacy telecom models. It can be deployed in urban and rural settings and works in three steps. A subscriber loads his or her device or router with digital currency to pay for internet access. Then, transmitters forward packets, earning money for providing this service. Finally, gateways connect the network to the internet, competing with other gateways in the area.
