Project Fi is Google's wireless service.
$20 /month gets you unlimited talk/text ... around the world.
Data is $10 /gb up to 6 and free afterwards.
they throttle after 10gb
I love their service and have been using it for years.
I travel a lot and enjoy that I can go anywhere and not worry.
Seamless integration with my Gmail is icing on the cake.

This Google service work in China?
I have no very good experience with Google, maybe you as an expert you could help me on that:

Regarding your questions, i already discussed about the way to put advertise in Steemit:
https://steemit.com/steem/@intellihandling/could-be-ads-the-solution-for-steemit-crisis
happy to share :)
I've never been to china ... but I'm going to guess that it probably does.
I will take a look at your posts.
I looked it up ... they do cover China!
Dear @metama, so i Will follow your link, but It is possible to get this service as Company too?
Posted using Partiko Android
I think so ... but am not sure :)
Hey @metama! I think you are asking some great questions that need to be answered. Personally, I do not see a problem with advertising on the Steem blockchain, but if we don't talk about it as a community, I can see Steem become like the wild west where everything goes.
I just checked out the Steem FAQ about spam (https://steemit.com/faq.html#What_is_considered_spam_or_abuse). None of the points specifically states that advertising is spam, but I see a few points that people may use to argue that it might be spam.
Ultimately I think it is up to the Steem community to make these types of decisions. Even without a formal stance on adverstising, each account can downvote a post (for any reason), and we can upvote as well. There also is not a formal stance on bidbots, and as we have seen over the years, there is still a division among the community about this topic.
Personally, I do not always like what I see on the Steem blockchain (topics, behaviors, etc), but I would prefer to err on the side of letting individual freedom win out as long as it does not impose on the individual freedom of others.
So if you want to use a bid bot to advertise, then go for it. Just make sure that you are not infringing on someone else's legal rights and individual freedoms. If someone does not like it, then express concerns in the comment section or via downvotes/flags.
My biggest question is whether or not advertising will be a resource made available at the account level, or if the operators of the different Steem frontends will plaster advertisements on their UIs for their own gain.
well said @sumatranate ... I don't see this as any different than a personalized blog ... and with the advent of dclick (and hopefully similar services) I see advertising making it's way to the steem blockchain no matter what ...
now, what will be interesting is how people use it and how it impacts the user experience
I am not entirely sure if Google can be trusted. What happened if you get banned from Google and YouTube? would you also get banned from their wireless service too?
ha... that is TOO real.
But, what alternatives do we have?? I am not yet aware of a decentralized cell provider.
I acknowledge that most big business will take my data against my will and sell it to others ... but at least google does it will offering a service that I find valuable. And steve jobs went and died so apples kinda lame now.
but for real ... do you have any suggestions for potential alternatives?
Steem can be used for anything. If the community doesn't like it, they should flag it. That's all there is to it.
Well you could use resteem bots to get some extra exposure on the site or use dclick and create an add thats available on all posts created through https://www.dclick.io/
never heard of dclick ... thank you that looks really cool.
I've been using it for a few months, 0 complaints. Love the freedom of not being strapped into a contract and managing my own data. The availability in other countries at no extra cost is icing on the cake.
awesome :) glad to hear another Steemian is enjoying the fi love.
First things first, Project Fi is really awesome and allows people from all over the world to experience what we have here in Europe between countries of the European Union. Travel anywhere you want with less concerns on your back, just like if you were at home...
Now, let's talk about what happened to the rule #3?!?!? :D ahah
Answering you questions, I do think it is ok an acceptable to use bidbots to promote your content, it doesn't matter what you are promoting as long as it is original (made by you), that's what Steemit wants. And that's why bidbots were created.
There are already bots like @cheetah, made by the community, that will hunt you down, if your content is not legit or if it is spam. So I think, in terms of abusing the system, you can´t do it to promote trash, but of course you can abuse the price changes and timing of buying the vote, but this is not illegal and requires some skill... so I think it is fine to do it.
As I mentioned earlier, as long as you are not promoting copy pasted articles, almost everything is acceptable.
Advertising on Steemit is being brought to discussion because of the current prices, the developers need a new stream of income. And I think we need to look at platforms like Scorum.com which implemented a new way of advertising within their platform and is working very well.
scorum seems pretty cool ... do you know of other platforms that offer a similar product?
No, I actually don't know anyone else using this type of ads to get some income.
I´ve heard that Steemit.kr (korea) has some type of ads or are trying to implement it very soon. But, I don't speak their language so it's pretty hard for me to understand what is going on there.
what does this have to do with cell service?
