The telecommunications industry has seen better days. However, recent trends indicate that the next few years will significantly disrupt the status quo. Although most of the change will be driven by traditional technology, such as 5G and edge computing, blockchain has also been proposed as an ideal solution to many of the biggest problems facing the telecommunications industry. These problems include privacy and security issues, network control and ownership, and many more. This article will review how blockchain will change our world in general and specifically how it could revolutionize telecommunications.

Still, it was quickly realized that wires were not enough to get electricity from one place to another – something with better range and reliability was needed. So electromagnetism took over, and we began building everything with copper-wire telegraphs (and later telephone lines). However, even that wasn’t enough. We soon saw that electromagnetic waves needed a medium to carry them through space. Thus, the wireless came into being.

This technology transformed communication on Earth and set us on our way toward becoming a global society. We also saw ho...
