Sandi Bitenc is the CEO of 3air, a decentralized telecommunication solution that provides broadband connectivity, IP telephony, and TV to the excluded African areas. 3 billion people are not connected to the internet due to the absence or inadequacy of proper infrastructure and affordability issues and 3air aims to solve this issue.
3air provides a decentralized solution leveraging blockchain that disrupts the mainstream system that so far lacked to provide connectivity to large populations in Africa. Unlike other innovative solutions, 3air was engineered to be cheap to deploy and affordable for the targeted users.
High-speed Internet entails many advantages for populations like easy access to information, education, and the opportunity to be part of a global market. Providing broadband connectivity is therefore considered one of the major breakthroughs for African countries.
