World Mobile launches on Google Play for customers in Australia, Canada, UK, and US
Decentralized wireless (DeWi) network operator World Mobile announced the launch of its app on Google Play for users in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada, and Tanzania on August 22.
The launch comes on the heels of a series of beta tests conducted in numerous markets typically considered underserved when it comes to mobile connectivity and availability including Kenya, Mozambique and Nigeria. The World Mobile app is also currently available in Zanzibar.
According to World Mobile, its DeWi services are meant to bridge the gap between major telecoms and those in underserved markets. It does so by providing some connectivity services and through the promotion of a blockchain-based sharing system it supports through a proprietary token, WMT, and the inclusion of other Cardano-based tokens.
As Cointelegraph recently reported, World Mobile uses a combination of existing infrastructure and alternative technology solutions to serve users. In some areas, for example, the company says it’s tapped into “TV white space” to send and receive data via unused television broadcast spectrums. In others, it adapted SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service for mobile customer use.
According to World Mobile, the Google Play launch will feature the most updated version of the app, however due to geographical restrictions some features may not be available:
