Helium has announced the successful passage of HIP 129, which allows all MOBILE Hotspots to participate in the carrier offloading beta. This development is part of Helium's broader strategy to expand its wireless network capabilities. The Helium Wallet has also been updated to version 2.8.4, addressing a bug that affected some Hotspot owners using apps like the Helium Mobile Builder. Helium is reportedly on the verge of onboarding over 200 million people through partnerships with two major US telecom companies. These companies plan to offload their customers' data onto the Helium network, marking a significant milestone for the project. Additionally, Helium has developed a tool for its cellphone carrier partners to specify desired coverage areas, which will guide the community in placing Hotspots.
one of the most awesome things we’ve been working on is a tool that allows our major cellphone carrier partners to ‘draw’ where they want or need coverage these areas then show up in the @helium_mobile planner to let the @helium community know where Hotspots are needed 🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/SarJkuMIli
People finally starting to realize that @helium is on the cusp of onboarding 200+ million people, from two massive US telecom companies offloading their customers data to the Helium network. This will be the single biggest onboard to a crypto project ever https://t.co/iChtJJHA3p
this is absolutely nuts,@helium_mobile pushed almost 23 GB in the last 10 or so days (not actually sure what day it got turned on at) but this is only the tip of the iceberg great things are about to happen... https://t.co/hu1l5Rt7Ti
