What is Coloniume?
Our ultimate goal and effort to create a massive, free coloniume network is summarized in the following structure:
U + ME = “COLONIUME”
You and I conjoin and build a huge free, cohesive, global colony that meets the interests and demands of each of us.
A completely free, decentralized, and government-independent communication network that will be implemented, developed, and expanded by individuals, organizations, and independent non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
The main purpose of launching this network is creating and expanding a kind of completely free, secure, non-governmental and independent communication platform of the existing communication networks, so that it can be censored, restricted and influenced, and at the same time to make it impossible to disable communication and interaction with all communication networks and Internet.
In a general perspective, after its development and expansion, the coloniume will help the internet so that in case of internet network disconnection in any area covered by coloniume and without geographical and political restrictions, it will be possible to exchange information and data locally. And each of the nodes will be able to connect to the Internet and act as a bridge between the local network and the Internet.
