Catch up with Micky by Micky (Mr Telecom) Watkins

and that shouldn't be in no way be disregarded. We're looking for hundreds of thousands and millions of users across higher RPU regions, which right now are sites to set on the United States of America and the Philippines. One second, there we go, got a manual up, perfect timing. And WMS, World Mobile Stratospheric, which is the layer that nobody has right now and we have a way to be able to monetize that layer in a very efficient, effective and scaled manner. So the United States was amazing, it was exhausting, but definitely we got what we wanted from there, which is subscribers and WMS and the people to be involved in World Mobile Stratospheric. So that's kind of the venture there. In Manuwa, would you like to add anything on the USA that you've joined the spaces? Thank you very much. Thank you. And thank you to the old community, it's always an honor to be on these spaces and to discuss what we're doing at World Mobile and also World Mobile Stratospheric. Yeah, I mean, I think you've covered it. It's been a really great time here in the United States. America, I am actually still here, I still have meetings this week and I'll probably likely be here most of my time here on these coasts to the United States and also mid-Texas and mid-U.S. around Texas area. We have a lot of stuff going as I'm sure some of you know we are raising around now, which is very exciting. The next round, we are doing it in a very big way. There's a lot of interest, there's been a lot of interest from the community as well in the beginning and now that interest has kind of come on to the more public side, the more retail side as well. So there's a lot of stuff that's going on there. Institutions are very excited. We've been meeting top level high level institutions last week and this week. They're ready to support us and we know we need to do in terms of stratospheric. We are building the aircraft with scale composites out in Wahabi deserts. Everything is going to plan. There's a lot of other things such as the British Silicon testing as I'm sure you guys know about as well on the scale happening in November. And for those of you who have invested into World Mobile Storage Sphere, we'll also be sending out some sort of a newsletter very soon that covers some of these updates and kind of what's to come. So very exciting stuff and looking forward to the next few weeks. And for those of you that are unaware of what stratomast is, what mobile stratospheric stratomast is our premier product. It is a 56 to 58 meter wingspan stratospheric plane that is autonomous. It can stay up for approximately six to nine days, which is more than anything else in the space right now, can. It runs off of liquid hydrogen and it is able to carry around 500 kilos of weight of which at least 100 kilos from our own phase array antenna will be lifted on that. But it has many more applications, including the Earth observation market, which is huge. It hasn't been defined yet. That's a $15 billion industry in the United States of America today. But we're expecting it to go to five or six times that over the next few years when there is a vehicle that can hold multiple different types of sensors. The list is huge. Maybe I'll do a post on that at some point soon. Of course, it can be helped for sovereignty, for governments, for them disaster relief and a whole bunch of other applications. So, yeah, mobile stratospheric is very good and is very strong. And ultimately leads to the mobile ecosystem being used, which is then powered by WMTX. Andy, what's on about you as well? Do you want to give a quick update on the Philippines, please? In terms of subscribers and infrastructure deployment and what we're doing up there? Yeah, sure. I mean, Philippines has been a crazy amount of work last couple of weeks. I know of a bunch of people, a few messages. The rollout is happening now. So all of the hard work has been done. It's just all about laying some cables to the nodes houses and getting them all connected up. But really, where all the focus has been is where we're going next. And the next type of node, which is the bridge node, which we've hinted at. I've know of all the Philippines is looking really, really exciting. It's just been a huge amount of work. So I'm a bit tied. But it's all really good stuff. We can sleep when we're dead, Andy, the motor. Yeah, just keep on tracking. Yeah, keep on tracking. Exactly. OK, thank you very much for that. We're looking forward to that because that is a high-up area. And there's actually huge potential. Andy has been telling me for the last couple of years the potential of the Philippines. And of course, I take Andy very seriously. He's one of my longest friends. And also equally, I respect him as a co-founder of mobile. But I don't think I realize quite how big the opportunity is in terms of fiber, in terms of infrastructure, and in terms of customer acquisition. And a lot of work is going into that. And there are a lot of team that we've brought across at new members and existing members of our mobile group to support with that, so that we can see and feel those customers coming onto the network. What's the matter as well? We have a new head of commercial. So a new head of commercial, his job is to bring subscribers into work with the existing marketing team, which has been revamped, repositions, has some new hires, and really experienced people that are very good. I think you're starting to see that on socials across TikTok, across Instagram. Of course, we're pretty strong on X already. But there's a lot of engagement there. Along with Ava's as well, our community manager, we really are starting to make strides. And we can see that on the trends, and we can see that on our pages on the statistics as well. So I'm expecting that to hit full flow in the next one to two months. And that will be a world mobile led effort to bring subscribers on via paid media. United States of America and subscribers. So there are some celebrities. You've had some inculence of some. You've had posts of others. We cannot obviously go out there and announce something until it's ready. But do expect something in this month, during this month, for sure, with a pretty big campaign that will lead to a substantial acquisition of subscribers over a medium to short term, I would say. And then, of course, in order to be able to track that, we'll get you up a metrics page so you can see that. What we have become very aware of is that... And we've always been aware of this, whilst building out in public, whilst giving our concepts, our numbers, our ideas, the way we do things, we've seen many companies copy us. But there's another company, Incul Space X, who have entered the sharing economy. And I'm actually grateful that they've taken inspiration. We're proud of what we've done as a community. And I'm grateful of the opportunity that they're going to give us to have more awareness of everything that we're doing. Because now they're talking about a sharing economy. If you think six years ago, everybody thought it was crazy to talk about a sharing economy. It could never be done. We're now 170,000 notes. We're now across the 3.6, 3.7 million users. We're now growing in the United States of America with around 7,000, 8,000 subscriptions over the last three months in addition to what we had before. And we can now go out there and actually start to define an industry with the help of a giant light space X who is making public awareness that this is possible. We do have a very good relationship with Starlink. We have a good relationship with them for a long time. We were one of the first telcos in, I would say, 2021 to work with them when they only had a few satellites. We went out to their offices. They gave us a private tour. Everyone sees the pictures. And ever since then, we have good relations. When the Jamaica disaster happened, they reached out to us when the California fires happened. We met them there. And of course, Hurricane Helene, the video that is for all to see, we showed them how to really plug their infrastructure into something that's far more scalable. And then recently Elon has done a partnership with Charter. So it's very good for us. It's very good for us on the terrestrial level. And it's also very good for us on the world mobile stratospheric level because if you can go direct to device, why would you need a ground network? Well, you need both. I'd have been saying this for a very long time because you want to connect people to the ground, universities, hospitals, busy high streets. You don't want them taking the space from your aircraft. Because although we can connect up to 500,000 people at a time, you still want those 500,000 people to be the ones that need it in semi-rural or semi-urban areas. And if you've got Swiss cheese in the middle of New York, which is plenty, then you want to plug in the radio. And you want to plug in fiber because that's usually the most cost-effective way to do that. So Elon has gone this path. We're happy to go ahead to head. We're happy to continue our partnership as well. We're pretty sure that he's going to use, or they're going to use lower thought of it. Satellites will use mobile stratospheric because we can amplify their backhoe. And then with our 450 sterile beams on our antenna, we're able to connect to a lot of people that you can't physically do with any type of satellite. And it's simply a physics issue. So on that front, very excited. Again, I'll say very proud of us as a Sharon economy to have led the way. I think we're the true Sharon economy of telecommunications. We've got a pretty good head start. We've got all the infrastructure in place, all of the elements in order to be able to continue to grow this. And part of the reason the commercial team were brought in, an additional commercial team, this guy is an absolute monster. I'm not too sure if I let him out in the wilds to the community. But I think there's a moment where we should. He comes from an industry of gaming. And he understands customer acquisition, I would say, as well as anybody I've ever met. He understands how to do it in a really smart, cost-effective way. But moreover, he also understands through the gaming industries that he supported. And some of the biggest companies in the world that how to manage partnerships, how to manage the liberty partnerships, and all the pitfalls and all the things that need to be covered, and making sure that we get the absolute maximum squeeze from our partnership, that benefits all parties. So I am looking forward to introduce him to the community at some point, maybe even on the next spaces. But get ready to hear an absolute general of a person that can come in and his kind of restructure that whole marketing team for us, ready for us to go out there and utilize everything that we've built. We weren't ready for it before. We are ready for it now and we're fully prepped. I think, other than that, the most exciting thing that's happening right now is Genesis. Genesis is on track to go and live this Thursday, the 8th of October, and Earth-Node operators for the first time. I get to see and participate in the Earth-Node test now. So that is a big thing. That also includes me. I'm an Earth-Node operator, and I'm very excited for that moment to happen. And then from there, it's just about iterating, finding what bugs we've got, speaking with all of our community, Earth-Node operators first, to talk about the different options that we've got for staking, that we're going to be able to utilize and to talk about economics and making sure it's of great benefit to everybody involved. So that's kind of the highlight of what I've been waiting for for a very long time, just as you have. And that's something that I will consider a big milestone once we get it over the line. What else is going on? Ah, the hack. Right. So it was horrific. I got a phone call actually from Josh at about 5.30 in the morning. He said, what the hell's going on with WNTX? I said nothing. So the case of why is it down 60% said shit. I woke up Alan. I woke up the security team who were already getting a lot to something was happening. And within 15 minutes, 20 minutes would pinpoint it down to being the singularity bridge. And then we ended up running our war room, calling up everybody, stopping as much damage as we possibly could, informing singularity that this was happening and trying to mitigate all risks. I think the team did an incredible job. It didn't take us long from stopping all trading to then going back to trading, and then isolating the hackers wallet. What that has meant is the people who were mostly on Ethereum. Some of them have their tokens locked. So now, over the course of the next couple of weeks, we will open up a page that will allow you to claim your tokens. Do not go to any page at all that is not officially communicated by wall mobile or wall mobile channels. And then even then double check within our community telegram or discord that's the right place to go to. And then you'll be able to claim your tokens and get them migrated. People who are on Cardano don't need to do anything. People who are on base do not need to do anything. People who are on B&B.
