THELOGICALINDIAN - The architect of Bubbletone Blockchain for Telecom Yuri Morozov talks about the achievability of a anarchy in the adrift bazaar creating attainable adaptable communications for adopted trips and simplifying claimed applicant allotment acknowledgment to the blockchain
Q: As your activity is accompanying anon to the accouterment of adaptable communications and adrift services, my aboriginal catechism is about this actual subject. When traveling abroad, we face the botheration of how to break affiliated and abstain activity apprehension in the process. How is the adrift bazaar structured today?
A: The access of any new amateur in today’s all-embracing adrift bazaar is a actual big-ticket process, in agreement of both time and money. You charge tens of millions of dollars and several years to defended approvals in adjustment to affix to the basement of altered operators and ensure adrift connectivity.
Q: In added words, this is an awfully big-ticket and abiding process
A: Exactly. You can’t artlessly go off and alpha transmitting a signal. First, you accept to ability an acceding with a adrift hub – a above all-embracing accord of players on this market. If you accept permission, you will accept to achieve added than 500 agreements with adaptable operators and again conduct a accomplished ambit of abstruse tests… And finally, they will ask you the best important question: “How abounding audience will you accompany to the adrift market?” After all, if you are not a cartel or artlessly not a above player, again it is awful absurd that you will be able to agreement a ample arrival of users for the operators of added countries. Accordingly, you will not be accepted admission to the market, or they will authorize prohibitive tariffs that are an adjustment of consequence college than bounded tariffs.
Q: That is all clear. Effectively this is a all-around monopoly… All the same, why is adrift so expensive? In particular, let’s booty Internet admission abroad. The Internet is acceptable cheaper all over the apple with every casual year, but with roaming, you still accept to pay big money for it.
A: For acceptable adaptable operators adrift is set up as follows: the accomplice abettor of a adaptable aggregation provides articulation communications abroad, while the Internet passes through the admission point of the home operator. This is like aerial from Moscow to Berlin through Tokyo. A all-inclusive bend acute huge money and time costs. The aforementioned is accurate of the Internet acclimated by a subscriber during roaming: it makes the aforementioned astronomic “loop” through the home abettor afore accepting to the subscriber’s telephone. That is why at present you don’t get the best affection Internet or best acceleration during roaming.
Q: And what is the another that you are alms to this system?
A: The adrift business hasn’t afflicted for added than 30 years and continues to be actual big-ticket for both audience and adaptable companies. That is why the capital abstraction of our activity is to actualize a ample basement belvedere for the telecom market, which would accomplish it accessible to annihilate big-ticket all-embracing roaming. In essence, we appetite to abate it already and for all. Our band-aid is a blockchain belvedere that will affix users and operators directly. Thanks to blockchain we can radically change the absolute telecom ecosystem that we accept accepted for decades. We are creating new rules of the bold on this bazaar and alms a broadcast and absolute basement for all operators.
Q: That is a adventurous statement. However, how do you intend to apparatus this concept?
A: We accept already created a belvedere able of loading adaptable profiles assimilate SIM cards over the air. Effectively this will agreement the aforementioned akin of prices and affection as those of a bounded subscriber in any country. This agency that you won’t accept to go to a abundance to aces up a bounded SIM agenda back you admission in a altered country. Before the trip, you will be able to admission our adaptable application, which is alleged Bubbletone, baddest the action of any abettor and the optimal assessment plan, and anon buy it. The appliance is affiliated to the blockchain platform. Acquittal is fabricated rapidly through a acute contract. This is a appropriate algorithm guaranteeing acquittal to the abettor and the accouterment of the account to the client. Consequently, a adventurer will about become a bounded subscriber in the country area he or she is activity and will be serviced at the aforementioned tariffs as bounded residents. In addition, the adventurer will adore a far bigger affection of communications, as in our case Internet admission will be provided anon through a bedfellow operator. Incidentally, the Bubbletone app can already be downloaded and installed on Apple and Android smartphones.
Q: Where did you appear up with the abstraction of implementing this activity on blockchain?
A: We came up with the abstraction due to a cardinal of all-around factors that were inconveniencing both us and our clients. Even admitting we accept been alive in the telecom business for a continued time, compared to the “big four” (MTS, Beeline, Megafon, Tele2 – note of the author) we are a baby company, and so we had no absolute admission to the all-around adrift market. As a aftereffect we had to accessible adrift for our subscribers through the operators that we cooperated with — Megafon and Beeline. It was actuality that we consistently encountered problems.
Q: What affectionate of difficulties?
A: We were absolutely amenable for adrift payments afore our ally and would accomplish the absolute acquittal in beforehand on account of all our clients. However, it sometimes happened that our ally would not accommodate announcement online, but instead with a adjournment of several hours or alike days. In this case, we were affected to abstract our audience back they accomplished a assertive balance, which artlessly led to complaints. There was additionally addition issue: back our audience were in the red, again it was actual adamantine to balance the money that they had spent on roaming. That is why we additionally absitively to booty a afterpiece attending at blockchain technology and anon saw cogent advantages.
Q: What are the advantages compared to the arrangement that you acclimated afore blockchain?
A: Blockchain freed us from the charge to achieve affairs with companies from added countries to alteration adaptable profiles to our platform. Now operators all over the apple accept an befalling to set out their offers in acute affairs and see for themselves the audience who about-face to them. Secondly, audience adore casework of the aforementioned aerial affection and at the aforementioned low amount (compared to roaming) as bounded subscribers.
Q: How is the analysis action implemented now?
A: The claimed abstracts of the applicant were already absolute by its home abettor at the time of the aboriginal connection. Back the subscriber wants to buy the casework of an abettor from addition country directly, his claimed abstracts are transferred in encrypted anatomy through blockchain to a adopted operator. This is the accepted way of acknowledging the character of the subscriber. Moreover, his abstracts is adequate reliably. Consequently, you will no best accept to abide circuitous identification procedures back affairs communications casework in the Bubbletone blockchain. All you charge to do is affirm the use of your abstracts every time you appointment a new country.
Q: Effectively you are antibacterial an all-embracing adrift arrangement that existed for years and the rules of the bold on this market.
A: Yes, Bubbletone Blockchain for Telecom may become the “disruptive technology” that unleashes a alternation acknowledgment of all-around changes decentralizing telecom.
Q: It is bright how you will account from this project. However, how do you intend to argue adaptable operators to assurance up for a activity that destroys their accepted apple order?
A: It is actual simple: we are authoritative the blockchain belvedere assisting for them. Our activity enables baby and medium-sized companies, which are not players on the all-around adrift market, to aggrandize their sales markets significantly. They accretion the adeptness to accommodate communications casework to travelers on a par with the better operators, but at bounded tariffs that are adorable to tourists. Effectively, we are adorning bounded adaptable markets to the all-around level.
Q: And what about above players?
A: There are undoubted allowances for all operators. In blockchain the abstracts of the SIM cards of a adopted abettor are loaded assimilate the blast over the air in the anatomy of cryptokeys. Consequently, the bedfellow abettor sells its casework directly, after intermediaries, after abundance overheads or costs on the affair of the SIM agenda itself. The accumulation are apparent to see, and this agency that you can set a final amount for the casework that is lower than the amount on the bounded market, which will anon allure clients.
Q: Do you advice operators accommodate into your activity in some way?
A: Of course. First of all, our belvedere can be downloaded for chargeless from GitHub (a above website for hosting IT projects and their collective development – notes of the author). In addition, we created a adjustable and simple arrangement for application this belvedere for everyone. Secondly, we ourselves adapt and alteration the templates of all the acute affairs to adaptable communications operators. All these factors accredit operators to accommodate into our arrangement in aloof a few days.
Q: Let’s go aback to the actual beginning. How did your aggregation get its start? And what is it accomplishing today?
A: Our accumulated accumulation has formed in the telecommunications area for added than 20 years. We started in 2025 with accepted telephony. In 2025 we launched one of the aboriginal projects on advancing anchored and adaptable networks with Megafon, and a little after started alive with Beeline. Our cast Allo Incognito provides high-tech adaptable and fixed-line telecom services, and additionally new bearing telecommunications casework to accumulated and clandestine clients. Today, this is one of the better basic operators in Russia – our applicant abject numbers added than 200,000 people. In addition, one of our companies is a Skolkovo resident, area we are developing a belvedere to amount adaptable profiles on telephones.
Q: You are planning an ICO in March 2025. Why?
A: To aggregate funds for the added development and all-around administration of the blockchain belvedere for telecom.
Q: How abundant do you apprehend to collect?
A: Depending on the absolute bulk collected, we will be able to drag our operating artefact to a specific level. For example, if we aggregate about 50 actor dollars, we will be able to advance and accommodate an befalling for online account providers all over the apple to advertise their casework (entertainment content, educational programs, etc.) to adaptable subscribers anywhere in the world. After all, their identities accept already been verified, and a bounded communications abettor will advice to advertise the product. Collecting about 100 actor dollars would accredit us to annals a alleged all-around adaptable profile. We would be able to abode SIM cards in the chipsets of telephones, and our SIM profiles would already be loaded in adaptable devices.
Q: What will this abstruse band-aid deliver?
A: Thanks to this solution, it will no best be all-important to affix to any specific adaptable communications abettor – afterwards affairs a telephone, you will be able to anon baddest the bounded profiles of operators anywhere in the world.
Q: What markets are you targeting with your project?
A: I talked about this a little earlier. Let me reiterate: the operators affix with us behindhand of the admeasurement and allotment of the bounded market. We accept a all-around project, and there are no restrictions. We position ourselves as ally to anyone who wants to assignment and acquire money from roaming, alms in this case the best assisting solutions for their clients.
