NBA champion Tristan Thompson partners with World Mobile to launch community-owned network Uplift, also, San Francisco's mayor: ‘We should be the testbed for emerging tech’

With Uplift, every subscription will contribute to neighborhood-level network expansion, while local hosts that are known as "AirNode operators" will earn a portion of network revenue by providing community coverage.
