传统电信运营商模式的局限性

传统电信公司模式依赖于用户为获得网络接入而签订长期合约并支付固定费用,这种所谓「付费使用」的模式在现今数字化时代相当低效。用户通常只能选择一个服务提供商,如 AT&T、Verizon 或 T-Mobile,而无法自由切换或同时享受多家服务。这种局限性不仅割裂了用户群体,也忽视了用户体验,难以吸引新客户。

与此形成鲜明对比的是互联网服务如搜索、社交、电商等,几乎都是免费向用户端开放的。很难想象谷歌和必应各自服务美国的一半固定客户,或者阿里、百度、腾讯各自只服务中国的三分之一的固定客户的话,将会是多么局限和小规模的应用。运营商日益沦为「通道」角色,尽管整个互联网流量都通过他们的基础设施流通,但他们却被剥离于最具价值的服务之外。

要想摆脱「通道」困境,电信运营商必须从付费接入转向免费接入,以覆盖全网消费者,提高其网络效应,从而直接向用户提供高价值服务而非收取有限的固定「通道」费用。然而,这种转变对庞大和官僚化的电信公司来说,是一个巨大的挑战。

去中心化电信运营商 Roam 的创新模式及其实现

我们关注到在这场变革中,Roam 通过其创新的免费使用模式迅速崛起,成为使用 Web3 技术与电信服务结合的行业挑战者。过去一年中,Roam 在没有大量市场推广投入的情况下,用户数和节点数实现了惊人的增长,用户突破百万,赢得了大批传统运营商的关注和支持,成为去中心化物理基础设施(DePIN)赛道的头部项目。如下图所示,Roam 在 DEPIN 数据分析网站 depinscan.io 中位列第二。

深度剖析 Roam 如何运用通讯科技和去中心化模式打造全新的电信运营商模式

Roam 是唯一一个通过升级 OpenRoaming 架设的去中心化通信网络

在全球范围内,WiFi 和手机网络是无线宽带接入的两大支柱。几乎所有移动端交互都依赖于这两者。因为 WiFi 通常是免费使用,其承担了超过 70% 的数据流量(如下图所示)。在 5 G 时代,WiFi 和手机网络的融合趋势日益明显。由于 5 G 网络的部署密度不足、基站耗电高且运营成本高,运营商倾向于利用 WiFi 网络来分担流量,以降低运营成本。然而,这也意味着老旧的 WiFi 网络已无法胜任,WiFi 的全面升级改造势在必行。这包括从 WiFi 4、WiFi 5 升级到新的通信协议 WiFi 6 和 WiFi 7 (值得一提的是,Roam 自主研发的 WiFi 路由器是最早一批支持 WiFi 6 协议家用路由),以及从传统的用户名/密码登录和 Captive Portal 网页登录转变为基于 Passpoint 和 OpenRoaming 的安全证书后台自动登录。根据 Market and Markets 的市场分析报告,未来五年相关市场预计将增长四倍。

Synergis:从去中心化电信商Roam用户破百万,剖析颠覆传统电信商业模式的可能性

Roam 与 WiFi 联盟和全球无线宽带联盟 WBA 合作,支持 OpenRoaming 的接入改造。OpenRoaming 网络相较于普通公共 WiFi 是一个质的飞跃。普通公共 WiFi 用户往往需要通过一个网页点击登录,这种情况下登录过程不自动,并且其通信往往是不加密的。而 OpenRoaming 网络 WiFi 则和手机蜂窝网络一样自动登录,并且通信全程安全加密。这种战略合作使 Roam 能够在全球范围内提供统一的网络接入服务,用户无需反复登录不同的网络,实现真正的在 celluar 和 WiFi 之间无缝漫游。通过这种合作,Roam 不仅扩大了其网络覆盖范围 (全球已有超过 4 百万的 OpenRoaming WiFi 热点),还显著提升了用户的使用体验,满足了用户对于便捷性和连续性的高需求。

新电信运营商业模式:以用户免费接入驱动去中心化网络建设

Roam 之所以能吸引大量用户,关键在于它打破了传统电信的进入壁垒,提供了免费的无线网络接入。借助全球 WiFi 网络升级的趋势,并在行业标准组织的支持下,Roam 吸引用户参与 OpenRoaming 网络的升级。参与者不仅可以升级到更安全、更便捷的 WiFi,还能获得全球 eSIM 免费流量作为激励。这种方式使用户无论通过 WiFi 还是手机 eSIM 接入网络都是免费的。并且,用户还可以通过网络共建等方式获得 Roam 积分,用来兑换商品和服务。除此之外,Roam 通过硬件网络节点(如 Rainier MAX 60 路由器)实现共享 CDN 带宽等,用户还能从中获得额外的激励。用户通过参与 OpenRoaming 网络的建设和验证的方式,能够免费获得能够在 200 个国家使用的全球流量奖励,这种全新模式不仅大幅降低了网络使用成本,并让用户深度参与运营网络的收益分成,从而形成了一个激励用户进一步投入网络建设的商业闭环。

这种激励机制不仅提升了用户参与度,还帮助 Roam 快速建立了活跃的用户社区。目前,每日有超过 60 万次用户参与网络质量验证和反馈,这种高频使用的场景在传统运营商的应用中很难实现。Roam 找到了一条不再是单纯「通道」的发展方向,而是一个让用户和相关商家共同受益的网络服务共建社区。同时,Roam 也重视社区与运营团队的交流,用户对网络改进贡献了大量建议。我们曾参与一次关于 App 设计的 AMA 活动,发现短短一小时内,社区成员就提出了 300 多条 App 改进建议。这种社区驱动的模式使 Roam 能够快速响应市场需求和用户期望,在行业中保持竞争优势。用户的积极参与不仅推动了网络的优化,也增强了用户的忠诚度和品牌粘性。

技术基础:Web3 和区块链

在使用 OpenRoaming 等电信技术以外,Roam 电信网络也离不开 Web3 技术的支持。区块链的去中心化特性为数据传输和存储提供了安全保障,确保用户数据的隐私和安全。Roam 背后的 MetaBlox Labs Inc. 已成为全球 OpenRoaming 的十大根身份签发商之一(唯一的 web3 公司),与 Cisco 齐名。与其他签发商不同,Roam 针对 OpenRoaming 在中小商户落地难的问题,创新研发了基于 W 3 C 去中心化数字身份标准的 OpenRoaming 升级方案,有效解决了实施中的技术和成本壁垒。

此外,Roam 还允许非 WiFi 运营商(如信用卡发行商、游戏发行商、学校等)轻松集成基于去中心化数字身份的 OpenRoaming 框架,帮助他们的用户无成本享受安全、免费的 WiFi 漫游。这种做法不仅扩展了 OpenRoaming 的应用场景,也扩大了 Roam 的影响力,使更多用户能够体验到便捷的网络接入服务。

Roam 有望成为首个被大规模采用的 WEB3 电信网络

Roam 在不到一年的时间内,在 WEB3 行业被全社会知晓和接受度有限的情况下,快速增长超百万用户,覆盖全球近 200 个国家和地区。自有节点超 82 万个,甚至人烟稀少的西伯利亚高原、加拿大北部地区、阿拉斯加等地也出现了 Roam 的网络节点。

Synergis:从去中心化电信商Roam用户破百万,剖析颠覆传统电信商业模式的可能性

用户在使用 Roam 的过程中也不难发现,通过参与 Roam 网络的打卡验证,每个月就可以获得 1-2 GB 的全球免费 eSim 流量。如果流量不够,进一步购买的价格也非常具有竞争力。传统世界中,用户在转换国家或地区时,剩余的 eSIM 流量常常失效,而 Roam 的流量则会自动转换为当地流量。这对于经常跨国旅行的人来说,月度通信费用可以得到大幅减少。因此,Roam 有机会很快成为旅行者出行流量的首选提供商。

进一步比较发现,Roam 还有潜力成为用户本地生活的主要流量供应商。如结合 Statista(下左图) 和 OECD (下右图) 统计显示,目前平均每位美国人每月花费约 30 美元,消耗 1 0G 左右的流量。结合 Roam 使用者在非漫游情况下,通过参与 OpenRoaming 建设,每个月的无线接入成本可能降低 50% 或更多。除了成本节省之外,Roam 的社区驱动模式极大地增强了用户粘性,并创造了新的运营收入机会。

这种真实有效的应用有望成为区块链和 Web3 技术改变人们生活的核心产品。
