The [BANDZ NETWORK](https://bandz.network/bandz/) was established in mid-2017 with headquarters and Intellectual Property rights held in Toronto, Canada. BandZ is a business focused on decentralizing the internet. Blockchain software is being built to provide the services that will be available to BandZ users on its extranet (VPN, rotating proxy, secured communications, mesh networks, and more).
Blockchain is the technology used to power Bitcoin and other crypto. Blockchain are ledgers that are difficult to defraud. Their core objective is to provide an agreement over networks, which is now being applied to financial markets to make payments protocols.

**AIM OF [BANDZ NETWORK](https://bandz.network/bandz/)** The aim of[BANDZ NETWORK](https://bandz.network/bandz/) is a global extranet which treats each user as their own intranet. If this can be achieved, then the underdeveloped parts of the world can benefit from the financial potential of both the blockchain and the internet. ![bandz pic.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmc2TumCusQYV1zzUHkaaZwkxc4i75pjwDjCxfVkG6u5ib/bandz%20pic.png) [Yearly increase in Mobile Phone Users](https://www.statista.com/statistics/274683/forecast-of-mobile-phone-users-in-the-middle-east-and-africa/) [BANDZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) is a token which is not intended for value storage as it is not a security by any means. The vision of the founders is to commodify internet services, turning data packet transmission directly into currency. The aim of [BANDZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) is to make internet access cheaper and easier for users.

**BENEFITS OF DECENTRALIZED INTERNET** When a technology is centralized, it solely means that the technology is controlled and run by a single individual, Government or Company. Decentralized technology on the other hand, is run by a network that is not controlled by one person. The following are some benefits of decentralization: 1. There is less censorship 2. Decentralized networks are more likely to be open development platforms. 3. Users don’t have to put their trust in a central authority. Decentralization cannot add more value to any other single industry more so than to secured peer to peer telecommunications. Decentralizing VPNs will not only make them censorship and back-door proof, but also reduce the friction currently present to novices in accessing the technology.

**HOW [BANDZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) CAN IMPACT LOCATIONS WITH A LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE.** [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) is a global peer to peer extranet project which aims at making internet connections censorship-resistant, cheaper, secure, as well as accessible over larger distances and in low infrastructure areas from a premium purchase to a free downloadable app to users by adopting blockchain technology. [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) dependence on functioning software applications, computer hardware and the Internet implies that [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) can offer no assurances that a system failure would not adversely affect the use of your [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) Tokens. Despite [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) implementation of reasonable network security measures, its processing centre servers are vulnerable to attacks from computer viruses, physical or electronic damages or other disruptions of a similar nature. Computer viruses, damages or other disruptions caused by third parties may result in interruption, delay or suspension of services, which would reduce the use of the [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) Tokens.

**ADVANTAGES MESH NETWORKS** Mesh networks are groups of smart devices such as phones, laptops and tablets, which connect to each other’s WiFi so that internet ranges and accessibility can be improved enjoyably. A lot of local areas are not profitable enough for ISPs to develop infrastructure towards. Even now, the use of router does not cover the entire area of one’s home. Furthermore, that beautiful concept called the Internet of Things (IOT), it does not work as efficiently as it could without greater signal ranges and lowered data costs. Without a mesh-net the congestion of all these smart value-added, wireless services would be difficult to bear. [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) personalized bandwidth limits and packet synchronization would do much to utilize the global opportunity of the IoT. With [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/), nodes are created for internet devices of all sorts to connect directly, dynamically and cooperate with one another to route data from/to clients. This lack of dependency on one node allows for every node to participate in the relay of information. The ability to self-configure enables dynamic distribution of workloads, particularly if a few nodes should not function properly. This in turn contributes to fault-tolerance and reduced maintenance costs. One large factor that limits Mesh Network web is that vendors of mesh network devices have yet to agree on common standards, and thus interoperability between devices from different vendors is not assured. [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/)hopes to bridge these gaps through organic community adoption of its software via the tokenized incentives of the blockchain architecture.

**HOW [BANDZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/)CAN GET RID OF NEEDLESS ROAMING** Some of the roaming issues faced are: ● Access to internet is often restricted by geographic locality ● Roaming fees are very expensive. ● Buying a sim card in foreign countries is an incredibly cumbersome experience [BANDZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) have therefore come up with the following helpful remedies to get rid of needless roaming 1. The price of services will decrease, but the amount of services consumed will flourish. 2. Bandwidth markets create a lower fixed cost of hardware for ISPs and therefore cheaper data services for end users 3. Mesh Networks extend the user’s range of access.

**VALUE OF THE [BANDZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/)TOKEN** Once the [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/)token have been purchased, the value of [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) Token may significantly fluctuate due to various reasons. [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) does not guarantee any specific value of the [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) Token over any specific period of time. [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/)shall not be held responsible for any change in the value of BandZ Token. **How to Participate** [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/)In other to participate in the network as a provider, one simply needs to run a [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) node on his or her device. [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) nodes will run swiftly on windows, mac, linux, ios and android. One may also need to integrate their existing app or product with the [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) Software Development Kit (SDK). The [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) SDK allows you to monetize your digital assets by running a [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) node on behalf of your user. Providers earn money for every 1MB they forward; [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) nodes can forward both TCP traffic and UDP. To participate as a consumer you need to run a [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) node, or join a [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) pool. [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) pools will coherently form for bandwidth buyers, allowing these buyers to enter the BandZ Network without having to run a [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) node and transact in [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/)at all. Note that using a [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/)pool, it will expose your traffic to the pool operator as the end to end encryption [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) provides happens when traffic enters a [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/) node.

**CONCLUSION** [BandZ](https://bandz.network/bandz/)gives the goal of a global extranet which treats each individual user as their own intranet. If this can be accomplished, then the underdeveloped parts of the world such as some countries in Africa can finally improve the financial potential of both the internet and the blockchain.
