During a meeting with Yuri Morozov, the founder and director of BubbleTone, the first platform to use the communications technology in the communications sector, he was asked several questions about the project. Mr. Morozov has more than 20 years of experience in the telecommunications industry, and his career is full of successful business. He was the chairman of CountryCom for 16 years and recently founded the BubbleTone platform, with the intention of revolutionizing the mobile communications world.
Morozov: The BubbleTone platform is building the world's first decentralized communications system using the global blockbuster, which will allow users of the mobile network and service providers to interact safely and directly. The main idea of this project is to create a global communications platform where users can purchase service packages using the current SIM card wherever they travel and travel around the world. Our goal is to end roaming in international communications. It is inefficient and expensive for both users and service providers.
The ability to keep your SIM card and remove roaming charges seems appealing. But how does your system work to ensure it's smooth?
Morozov: Our platform is being developed in a way that ensures a seamless customer experience. Simply download and register the application, and this application can easily verify the identity of the digital user with a database engine that operates in accordance with secure standard procedures. A person can specify the language and data plan he wants at his destination from a supplier located in the country, with the possibility of purchasing the contract in digital or cash currency. Once the user has paid for the service, an intelligent contract will be created based on the technology. The mobile phone account of the foreign service provider will be transmitted via Cryptokeys to the user's SIM card, allowing him / her to contact him / her and use the Internet directly via a local operator while abroad. This means that the user can access high-quality speeds and avoid "slow internet" because they work directly through the local network.
Do we know why travelers want to buy a local "over the air" service, and are these types of transactions really secure for users?
Morozov: Our technology ensures that user data is never transmitted anywhere, because it can be validated on the blockbuster by the foreign mobile operator in the country of destination. Smart contracts also ensure that the service provider's fees are not charged until after the contract is completed and thus ensure user protection.
The platform seems to solve many of the problems faced by users in the roaming system. But what aspects of the BubbleTone platform do you think will attract potential service providers?
Morozov: Our platform is working to remove the main obstacles that make it difficult for market entry to service providers. It is also easy for operators - both adult and young - to join the platform from any market. Even the smallest players have the chance to increase their subscriber base and gain a new field of revenue through our system. Potential partners can also use our free Graphene platform, as the core code is already available on GitHub. Once you have created an account on the BubbleTone platform, mobile operators can use the smart contract templates submitted immediately to send their offers to the blockbuster to all users of the application. This means that service providers can "withdraw" their users securely on their network, through a network mutually agreed upon in an enforceable smart contract. Solutions based on smart blockbuster contracts will also eliminate the problem of non-payment for services, a huge problem in this sector.
How do you think the technology will change the communications sector?
Morozov: I think it will turn this sector upside down. At the infrastructure level, the international mobile roaming system is inefficient and outdated. It is also complex and expensive for operators in preparation and implementation, and most importantly, it is also prohibitively expensive for users. Some 7% of the world's population can not pay roaming fees for their local operators. But the BubbleTone platform is global, and has no regional restrictions at all.
You are currently in the final stages of initial currency support, what next step for the company?
Morozov: We have been somewhat involved in updating the BubbleTone platform's messaging platform, which will soon be connected to the company's proprietary network. We are also in the process of integrating tools to allow user voting. We will showcase the integration of the application with the plocin during the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona in late February 2018.
I chose to partner with ICOBox to help guide you through the launch of the UMT digital currency. Will you tell us about your experience so far?
Morozov: The solutions provided by SaaS ICOBox have made preparations for our initial currency support process much faster and easier. We believe that they have brought technical and legal vitality and marketing experience to the project.
