5. Theworld-widecurrencyformobiledataexchange–TheDENTTokenThe currency used in trading, the DENT Token, iswhat powers the platform. The actual sale,purchase and donation of data packages enters the Ethereum blockchain, utilizing ETH. Theinstruments, i.e. data packages, will be Smart Contracts in the Ethereum blockchain. DENTExchangewilldriveEthereumSmartContracts,effectivelymakingthesystemablockchain-basedtradingplatform.ThecrowdsalewillallowparticipantstopurchaseDENTwithalowstartingprice,beforeitbecomesusedintheexchange.

toa“perfectstorm”forDENTWireless

9.1.1 Globalizationofconsumersandbusinesseswithincreasingservicestransparency.

Globaltravelisontherise,andbusinessesareincreasinglyspanningacrossmultiplegeographies.Telecommunication service provisioningmust cater to those global needs, and provide globalservicesdespitethelocalnatureoftelecommunicationsinfrastructure,leveragingglobalentitiesand partnerships. Telcos have responded to the globalization by forming regional and globalconglomerates,partnershipsandjointventures.

However,thereisnotrulyglobaltelcoservicetoday,onparwiththeOTT(Over-The-Top)players,whorunoffasingleplatform.Telcoshavetraditionallyleveragedlocalplatformsforlocalmarkets.Moreandmore,localplatformsarereplacedbyglobalplatforms,whichistheonlywayhowtocompetewiththeOTTssuchasGoogle,Amazon,Facebook,WeChatandWhatsApp,tonameonlyfew,whodeveloponceandscaletheirplatformglobally.Globalplatformusagehastakenoffinthetelecommunicationsindustry.Examplesareplatformsforglobalroaming,severalwhitelabelplatforms for cloud based communication and other SaaS offerings, and the take-over of JibemobilebyGoogletoadopttheGSMARCSstandard,whichlikelybecomesacoreelementwithintheGoogleFiproposition.

9.1.3 Topandbottom-linepressureontelcos

Telcosareincreasinglystrugglingwithmaintainingtheirrevenueline.Despitethedatagrowthinusers and usage, the decline in voice and SMS can hardly be compensated, and customersincreasinglyconsidertheirtelcoserviceascommoditylikeelectricityandwater.Telcosrespondbytryingtodifferentiatewithproductsandpartners,butasustainabledifferentiationhassurelybeentodeliveranoutstandingqualityofservice(coverageandspeed)forafairprice.

Thesolutionwedeliver:DENTwillallowthetelcostobepartofthedisruption,ratherthanbeingdisrupted themselves. Telcos can become part of the journey to a fully transparent and fairecosystem.
