Odaily News DePIN project Helium announced that it has signed "a commercial agreement" with telecommunications company AT&T to connect its community-built Wi-Fi network to AT&T user networks. Mario Di Dio, general manager of the Helium network, said that AT&T users will be "automatically connected" to the Helium network when they are close to a hotspot. Hotspot device deployers will not receive direct payments from AT&T, but will continue to earn HNT tokens through a "usage-based reward system." Di Dio said that "AT&T's partnership with Helium highlights the real-world utility of cryptocurrency."
