πŸ“’ Apparently, $64B worth of data centers are on hold because local townsfolk prefer their backyard #squirrels to server farms. πŸ˜‚ Maybe tech giants should consider adding a free Wi-Fi plan for pitchfork-wielding villagers. πŸŒ³πŸ”Œ

For about two decades, it's been clear that #WiFi can easily and cheaply cover cities with good internet access. The hard part has been finding ways to make it sustainable. #Tokyo now says that they have 20 times as many WiFI routers as is needed to cover the whole city. They're trying a #cryptocurrency model to get more sharing happening. How about also considering just building out #CommunityWifi and #government networks? There are many proven examples of both all over https://www.theregister.com/2023/04/27/ntt_network_sharing_blockchain/
Tokyo has millions of surplus Wi-Fi access points that should be shared with blockchain, says NTT

Claims it's verified viability of city-scale network that would free vast resources, in Japan or elsewhere
