NBA champion Tristan Thompson and World Mobile launch community-owned network Uplift | TechCrunch
"For me, it's about, how can I help people that have walked the same life that I walked, and I think for us, what we're doing is providing connectivity and connection for unlimited data at a way lower cost,"
"It's like, how can I help my community have a better tomorrow? And that's what this is about. And I've been very blessed and fortunate to have a team that understands this vision. And we want to help people in America, help the inner city, and just give people hope."
Uplift is a community-owned mobile network built on blockchain technology and a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN). Unlimited data plans start at $9.99 per month. Every subscription contributes to neighborhood-level network expansion while local hosts called AirNode operators earn a portion of network revenue by providing coverage. The project targets the centralized $2 trillion telecom model by enabling users and local operators to share in the value they create. Tristan Thompson holds multiple C-suite roles across web3 and fintech and is positioned to drive affordable, community-focused connectivity and digital equity initiatives.
