[Music] [Music] okay I don't know I know that all of you use the internet for sure uh probably you got your ticket through the internet but most of you probably don't know what telecommunications is um so I'm a PhD in telecommunications which is that thing that nobody cares about you only care about when it doesn't work um but basically what telecommunications is something quite similar to blockchain right it's a collection of notes that together form a network and these networks send messages across each other in the form of protocols you may know the IP protocol for instance which is what the internet is based on so I'm very passionate about telecommunications and I will tell you why and if I have to leave to London tonight with one mission is you care about connectivity more than when your Wi-Fi doesn't really work so there are some numbers that tell you how important connectivities in the world right um only an increase in 10% of access access to fix or mobile broadband across any type of economy in the planet would give you an increase of almost 3% on your GDP the impact of an Internet shutdown is incredibly large 140 million pounds a day and that can be happening you know when we have like the 3 UK shutdown in the none of you could access your mobile phones or even AWS going down because they control 80% of the internet traffic so it's not just one service provider that can that can bring these these problems to all of us and Society the reality is that connectivity is not only important for us it's also powering the entire economy there is absolutely no corner of the planet where we can see the benefits of networks and I just want to very very quickly cover some of the really interesting things that I have had the opportunity to work on this here it is a robotic arm and at the end of this it has a sensor so I went and I talked to that surgeon over there he's a neurologist and I asked him what's your Christmas letter what do you want if you could ask for anything and he said give me back my sense of touch because when I got into laparoscopic surgery I lost my touch you put all these little things inside your body yeah you recovery in two in two days from a surgery but all of his knowledge is in his hands the tactile part of his palpation was lost so we created this sensor well we don't the robotics Department of Kings College London created this sensor and what we did is we connected it over a 5G Network we put 360 camera so that we could immerse the surgent inside of the body and what this robotic sensor was doing it was going to to generate a tactile signal that was going to be different depending if they was touching cancerous tissue or not um obviously this robotics Department was also working in medical robotics so by computer vision they could understand if there was a tumor or not um but we could translate that into signals that then the doctor could could feel in their own hand and therefore uh that was in in the form of the prostate instead of removing the entire prostate it could literally just cut where the cancerous tissue was was so then we moved it into an MRI form and how can that same surgeon as soon as the MRI is out can put it into what is a VR uh environment and and and do and move that MRI and through the same tactile glove understand where they are touching and where is he going to find the cancerous tissue and that you can train anyone globally using the internet a very very fast internet that the last example over there is actually something that we did here in the greater Manchester area in sou for in the A6 chubble Street which most of you know um there's a lot of traffic and traffic means productivity the faster you arrive to your office the faster you arrive to class right so we connected the traffic lights to AI sensors and with those AI uh machines what they are doing is they control when the traffic lights are red or green or promotes actic travel any type of policy that it wants to promote uh by the transport Authority those devices go connected to the internet I bet you guess but whenever when everyone gets out of their offices and we it's like 5:00 p.m. that Network gets really really congested and you can't have really having that those traffic lights connected to a network that it's actually not really working so what we did we connected it to a 5G private Network that was owned by the transport forget Manchester and uh gave access to this technology completely isolated to what uh the the connectivity that you use for your phones so that is where diversification actually played a key role it was we needed a network that was not owned by the the service providers that was owned by someone else and was providing a service and that brings me to how networks are built today very simple I'm going to explain you the horror of the Telecommunications industry we have a bunch of companies that I'm sure you know all build very expensive equipment we have a bunch of companies that I'm sure you all know because you buy SIM cards and they decide where these networks get built and it's based on wherever they're going to make money and then they distribute the services and we consume the services so well the impact of not having connectivity I'm not going to go through this but I'm sure you know very high um and where do we come in with the blockchain layer so this is the established um the vertically integrated model that we called it's one network one provider then the consumer everyone owns its own network they decide where it goes this is what we are doing we believe that networks can be built as a combination of assets that many other providers can build so for instance this building can own its own Network then the city council can own its own network the shopping mall can own its own network and there you go and guess what brings it all together blockchain and then on top we have the services and then on top you can provide your decentralized services so what we are actually doing is we are decentralizing the ownership of the Internet by incentivizing the contributions um to the network by incentivizing the contribution to the actual infrastructure um you can look at apps we relapse we build Sal stack it is a product that what it does it uses a distributed leer like technology like uh blockchain to add all of these assets create a network of networks that then is opened up to be consumed as a service so to the owners of infrastructure what we tell them we make you money fast because your infrastructure can be discovered and then it can be used by the use cases and by the service providers and to the service providers we tell them don't be greedy share the infrastructure use the infrastructure that others have built and then we can decide who decides what value is if I'm a local Authority connecting the unconnected might seem value and this is the world with a decentralized physical Network you can have all your other players who were building networks before and now you can have other players who are building networks now building owners office spaces cities then you have us aggregating all of that with a distributed orchestration tool orchestration is an IT Cloud um term what it means is basically connects uh software together and then blockchain all the assets are available there in the form of a Marketplace and then Services SE it on top very simple right I hope you do care a little bit more about connectivity now okay go guys come get your trade [Music] [Music]
