Althea is Turning Consumers into Prosumers’

Commons Based Peer Production – Althea.net offers a fascinating twist by integrating blockchain technology. By doing so, they enable a decentralized form of Internet service provision that not only challenges the traditional, centralized model but also directly empowers consumers to become “prosumers.” In this model, each user with a router can essentially act as a mini-ISP, purchasing bandwidth from those upstream and selling it to those downstream. This system makes Internet access more of a peer-to-peer service, akin to the way torrents distribute data, thus, decentralizing the control and economic structure of the network.

Ron first learned about Althea when he met Jehan Tremback in the NYC Mesh Slack workspace back in 2017. Following that, Jehan stayed in Ron’s guestroom in Brooklyn when he flew in from California to meet folks at NYC Mesh.
