What is similar? The only similarity I can see is that they are both in the telecommunications space.
One is an ISP, run as a cooperative, the other is a company trying to parlay hardware innovation into a monopoly.
- tcamp 10y agoTo be clear, I'm not affiliated with Starry or Guifi. Just interested in the disruption of current ISP models. You are correct about business model, access and governance. Yet the similarities go beyond just being in the same industry. Similarities include: 1. Both compete with & fill an ISP last mile void. a. Guifi - Access to the internet b. Starry - Access to the Gigabit internet 2. Both are the acting as ISPs for their users. 3. While not the same, there are architectural similarities. Wireless, communication nodes, etc.
