One of the biggest takeaways from my trip to Colombia was the gratitude of the people who were affected by the earthquake.
No one asked for a single thing from us.
I think the affirmation that they were cared for, remembered and valued by others was what they needed most.
Five @Starlink mini’s as backhaul, propagated through community owned AirNodes to people in rural Colombia who’d been disconnected by the devastating earthquake. Now they’re reconnected.
Satellites + the sharing economy reach the places towers never will. Legacy operators simply can’t move this fast.
Thank you @WorldMobilers , @elonmusk@WorldMobileTeam@Minutes_Network, @ChristianRees, @AlvaroUribeVel and everybody else that helped get Cali back online. Together, we’re unstoppable.
🚨If you went to the gym, put in the work, and the government had a way to transfer 50% of your gains to some lazy person who sits at home all day eating fast food, would you still go?🦇
Probably our shortest space ever, but maybe our most important.
Help us support this relief mission to Connect the Disconnected in Colombia.
We are trying to raise $20,000 to support the mission, which starts in just over 48 hours.

On the move heavy and having access to multiple networks alongside our standalone infra with @WorldMobileTeam has always been so solid.
Crazy congested area? Hops on best network. Sees our spectrum(s) and AirNodes? Hops on those. Sees the new stuff? Hops on those.
To have built this all from the ground up... Placing the first voice call, first text and more on our AirNodes starting in Reno to now... Still can't believe it. I can nerd out about it all day!
We can't wait to share what is coming up the rest of this year and beyond. If you were at Rare Evo you already got a sneak peek. 👀
If you weren't don't worry.... We'll be sharing more information over the coming weeks. 🧡
Hope you're all having a great weekend!
People hear “Starlink cellular” and scream FREEDOM and “SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY” 🤦♂️
But stop and think for a second...
Do we really need another massive corporation controlling the infrastructure, your connection AND your data?
Maybe the future of telecom shouldn’t belong to another oligopoly.
Maybe YOU should be able to help connect your neighbor...
Maybe YOU should be able to participate in the infrastructure....
Maybe YOUR data and identity should remain private and actually yours!
That future already exists... YOU just need to make the first step --> @WorldMobileTeam
Be Locally Attuned and Responsive
Living systems do not import distant resources. They fit themselves to the conditions of the place they occupy. This is not efficiency for its own sake. It is the only way complex systems remain viable over time. Use readily available materials and energy.
Termites construct mounds almost entirely from local soil, saliva, and dung. Birds build nests from the twigs, grass, mud, and spider silk immediately surrounding them. Corals precipitate calcium carbonate skeletons from ions already dissolved in the seawater they inhabit. Desert plants capture the intense local solar radiation and scarce rainfall, storing water within their own tissues rather than reaching for distant aquifers.
World Mobile operates under the same constraint and the same opportunity. AirNodes convert whatever bandwidth, power, and physical space already exist at a host site into mobile coverage. The network does not require the importation of massive centralized infrastructure. It builds outward from resources already present in each location. We as investors provide the necessary resources to build the network more expeditiously. All though the resources are at site your investment provides the feedback loop for mass adoption, mass adaptation = greater rewards.

A wife who belittles her husband, withholds affection, and refuses to let him lead in his own home is not just making a mistake. She is breaking her vows. And the culture that tells her this is acceptable is setting marriages up to fail.
