This is evidenced by Unesco's proposals at the international level to decree that access to the Internet be considered a human right to guarantee the democracy of nations, because of the incredible capacity to transfer information to any device connected to the network. Technology is a cross-cutting element of people's daily lives as it transforms their daily habits, currently a large number of people spend their time surfing the web, in Mexico there are about 65 million Internet users representing 59.8% of the population. The interconnection of people through devices (computers, televisions, tablets and cell phones) is one of the most significant technological advances of the modern era, as it makes the Internet one of the most effective means of informing, disseminating and showing projects, brands or services and has also transformed the processes of buying and selling in the commercial system. ![estadistica internet 2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdpDyvYGih5RNBnioDFx41WFGNjJKmzY4Gws3ArEstDZp/estadistica%20internet%202.png) [Fuente](https://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm) Having access to the Internet at a decent speed has become a necessity for any person and mainly a business. In fact, the European Union has set itself the target that by 2020 all European citizens should enjoy broadband coverage of more than 30 Mbps. However, this speed only reaches 71.2% of households. Beyond the problems of access, which are greater in other regions of the world in Latin America, only 51% of the population is connected and some are already asking whether the right to the Internet should not be included in the Constitution, the greatest difficulty we encounter when contracting a connection is price and accessibility. Thanks to the internet, a new technology has been created that is breaking down all barriers and shaking up our whole world, that is blockchain technology, thanks to it many problems have been solved in different areas due to its reliability, security, transparency and speed, now it is time for blockchain to return the favor to the internet by giving it life and a group of experts found a way to do it: BandZ!! ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdTaB5a3GkKWkXYkKVpsxucnPMU2bbMX5mXs1jT72CjER/image.png) After looking above at some of the main problems of today's internet (costs, accessibility, etc.), we must talk about a company that is working hard to solve this thanks to blockchain technology, it is time for the beginning of the decentralized internet era. BandZ is a blockchain-based network that uses decentralization to create a global extranet so that the connection for users and businesses is secure, much cheaper and resistant to censorship, decentralization will allow users to access it in remote areas where the connection is very scarce or when visiting other countries to eliminate the need to depend on a free wifi point or having to pay for an expensive local sim to access the Internet. As it is a decentralized network, BandZ aims to offer p2p bandwidth exchange at the expense of BandZ (BNZ) token exchange, so users and service providers can buy or sell bandwidth available through this currency. ![token.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdrcvbBbtd7HxYmVUtj1zgBoRG24tc3FFnuXc6amrLzCb/token.png) *** ## Intranet- Extranet- Internet ![image (1).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVN4mouQw81KF9t29B7f75RTVU7Qdi1H3PUBvitzyJUbZ/image%20(1).png) BandZ as I said before aims to create a global extranet, surely not everyone knows the term so let's review a little with an example: Imagine a digital marketing company, in order to be able to carry out their operations and communicate among employees through the network, they use a private network (intranet) in which only employees have access to it, but when they need to send information or present the completed service to customers to discuss its results they must send the information to the customer through their private network (intranet) through the network, this is known as extranet and when everything is fine they must launch the advertising for the public and potential customers to view it on the public network (Internet). BandZ intends that two users or two parties share information through the extranet, the bandwidth will be shared through this network, so that the users will be the intranets, this will be possible through communication through the free application BandZ which has the BNZ token as its network name. Since BandZ will work on the basis of blockchain technology, this means that all network transactions are secure, transparent, faster and free of vulnerabilities, thanks to this Internet access will be much cheaper and accessible to everyone no matter how far apart they are from each other, an additional advantage that BandZ has is that you can use the service anonymously thanks to its VPN service that operates on a mesh network. ## The Mesh Network The mesh networks are essentially a group of intelligent devices that without intermediaries are connected to each other through a wifi network and thus improve Internet ranges and accessibility, for ISPs to offer their service to remote areas and few populated is a bad move and a loss of both profits and resources, because of this in these areas with little access to the Internet always happens that there is always congestion in the network because all users want to connect in the few available networks that are making this a nuisance. With the mesh network, BandZ will offer a very viable option free of network congestion in wireless services, BandZ will create nodes so that all internet devices can connect in a dynamic and non-hierarchical way, cooperating with each other to route data to and from customers allowing all nodes to participate in the information relay. ![bandz.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXQ3t3mYTysUtX6jBSWjfwNXptnZENJ2joTSXbMSmhFTA/bandz.png) Roaming Charges It is no secret that roaming rates are excessively expensive for people who have no other option and also buying a SIM card outside the country is a somewhat complicated experience for many people taking it out of the way without taking into account that this card can only be used for the duration of their stay abroad. The mesh network will protect users by providing a wide range of access, allowing ISPs to offer a more economical data service to end users because they will not have to spend resources on tower installation or maintenance. ### Usage case BandZ I personally have planned a trip out of the country very soon and I want to be able to be connected to steemit at all times to upload the photos of my trip and tell about my experiences in this new challenge that I set myself, as I don't know the country I am going to, it will be very difficult for me to buy a new SIM card and much less to know the locations of the free wifi network points, with the use of BandZ I could easily enter the application and with BNZ tokens I could buy data at an affordable price so I could connect easily and quickly in a very comfortable way and tell you all my experiences and talk about all the places and people I meet during the trip. ### Introduction to BandZ https://youtu.be/RA8NSMhXiWA ### Team ![team.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRzdiz2tNbZh13cRaXP9yQCACEZQR3KCh4M6hLFED1c3g/team.png) ![team2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVxenA77VWmyTjwUVBS6rDQ1C9ozLv1AyFp9CXQhBL1vH/team2.png) ![advisors.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdrauYUcE849pTznw52dWLgXDTtFkqMhYVYzT4xhiDAJK/advisors.png) ### Roadmap ![Roadmap.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmefAhvPTqHXPfweDvqudFjQ2kdHnKFNXfvffuYTUeRu4i/Roadmap.png) ## Final Thoughts Despite the fact that all technology is advancing by giant steps, access and bandwidth equity is becoming more and more complicated, more and more users are crying out for an internet platform that has all the benefits they long for. Every day there are thousands of new people connecting to the network and ISPs are often unable to meet the demand, especially in remote areas where there is virtually no internet access. BandZ offers all the solutions to these and many other problems related to Internet connectivity and everything around it, I firmly believe that BandZ is the future of the Internet and its service will be a revolution that will reach all corners of the world and will allow everyone to connect in a secure and cheaper way, I believe that access to the Internet is an undeniable right and BandZ thinks the same, so I believe in it and everything it has prepared for the world. ## More Information & Resources: * [BandZ Wepsite]( https://bandz.network/bandz/) * [BandZ Whitepaper]( https://drive.google.com/open?id=13i61yVIGf_sBzVSIutg_6880YKPCnwAi) * [BandZ Telegram]( https://t.me/joinchat/G9AwWUXTuSj-c32SrIQhGA) * [BandZ Linkedin]( https://www.linkedin.com/company/bandz-network/) * [BandZ Facebook]( https://www.facebook.com/BandZNetwork/) * [BandZ Twitter]( https://twitter.com/BandZ_Network) * [BandZ Reddit]( https://www.reddit.com/user/BandZNetwork/) * [BandZ Github]( https://github.com/bandz-network) * [BandZ Youtube]( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSxAXtC4bCNeLoeW88QUDSg) bandz2018
