If we were to write a new Universal Declaration of Human Rights today, would we add something about Internet access while defining the freedom of speech? The Internet has become an information vein that one can hardly live without in a fast globalizing world society. That’s why Kosta Grammatis thinks that Internet access should be free for all. He has just launched Oluvus, a new telecom company whose goal is to connect the whole world to the Internet through a freemium model– one where basic service is free, and additional services cost a premium. Oluvus is purchasing wholesale bandwidth, giving it away and charging for additional features. Profits from the initiative will go directly to funding connectivity projects around the world.
