Internet reports that 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 Helium Networks, said AT&T users will "automatically connect" to the Helium network when they approach hotspots. 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,"AT&T's collaboration with Helium highlights the real-world utility of cryptocurrencies."
