This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Deborah Simpier and Justin Kilpatrick, co-founders of Althea, an Internet Service Provider (ISP) platform and blockchain that enables the coordination of multi-stakeholder networks.

Althea is built for a fast and affordable, locally run internet. Althea's unique cooperative vision for the internet brings peering from the data center to the field. Empowering communities to build multi-stakeholder networks faster and more affordably than legacy telecom models. The core technology behind Althea is a price-aware routing protocol and blockchain-based payment system that debits and credits funds based on a router’s bandwidth usage. Althea decouples the service and infrastructure layers of Internet delivery and coordinates transparent and programmatic revenue sharing.
