Telecom space and Blockchain:
The often overlooked beneficiary of blockchain technology is the telecom industry. Only a few blockchain projects have happened in this space. It helps promote the telecom brands to most demographics. It also benefits the mobile users. It will prove a win-win situation for all. Siglo unlocks opportunity of free mobile airtime for everyone with a smartphone. They airtime is rewarded for user’s engagement in social media. It is launched as a blockchain protocol. It includes a full pledged platform that connects airtime sponsors with prepaid users with smartphones, and creating a value transfer system involving users, providers, regions and brands.
Promotes economic opportunities:
Joe Philips, the CEO and co-founder of Siglo claims their project will help open up new economic opportunities. Access to mobile connectivity will mean economic access in developing nations. The protocol will improve the position of a smartphone user in these economies. It helps bypass the barriers that stop them from entering the digital economy. They make tall claims on their project being about financial and digital inclusion. To back it up, they are planning their press release points in Mexico, where data is costlier. Topping up mobiles incurs additional costs in form of trips to gas stations or shops. 6 out of 10 people in Mexico don’t have a bank account, which they can use for internet recharge. There are not many shops in the economically challenged state.
Pig.gi app:
Siglo piggybacks on the success of their first product, Pig.gi. The lock screen application for Android has more than a million installs from Mexico and Colombia. They used the app to access the World Wide Web. In a little larger than its two years stint it got more than a million impressions for brand partners. For this impression it got 45 million Pig.gi coins and distributed it to the user base. It also gained humongous assets of data for its developers. All in all Siglo is coming on back of a highly successfully business establishment in this space. They have been there and done that already and with impressive level of success. They are at it again bigger and grander. Siglo is the future of mobile connectivity. It’s a world where internet access and mobile transactions are gifted by brand sponsors. Projects like Siglo gives you control in those times. The project is as effective today as it will be tomorrow.
Presale:
Siglo has raised a flag pretty clearly high. The most informative announcement from them has been in Bitcointalk forums. The presale offers more rewards to 100 lucky participants. They lucky 100 are rewarded with Single Edition Siglo jackets. Inside the jacked you can find QR code which upon scanned rewards you with more discounts and tokens. This M.O is quite new to the ICO world. Nevertheless this strategy should bring them some success. The most information you can get about their ICO is by chatting on Telegram. It seems to be the route now in case of most ICOs too.
