It has been 2 weeks since our last update. The activity over the last couple of weeks has been staggering. Summary below:

Marketing

Our partners at Mirak Consulting have started canvassing their clients and have informed us that the take up rate is close to double than is usually seen. The CEO Dr Karim describes our ICO as “the best I have worked with in terms of concept, product and investor engagement”

We are also very excited to announce that we are launching marketing activity in China, India, Russia and Pakistan. We have selected strategic partners for each territory. Our objectives are two-fold, firstly to grow the number of Hotspot Hosts and secondly, to reach out to more investors. As results come in from these areas, we will keep you informed.

Social Media

All of your channels have witnessed growth in numbers and engagement. This is a result of the continued community activity, bringing more friends and family in to our community and of course, the huge success of our referral program.

Our Facebook channel now has a following which is about to surpass 25,000 likes. On a daily basis our community managers are responding to around 1,000 messages from our FB community our Favebook marketing has reach has touched 55.7k in the last week alone.

Community Activity

Our community has seen massive growth in the last 2 weeks, more than 28,000 new Hotspot Hosts joining our community in that period, an average of 2000 new sign ups each day! On behalf of the entire OPP Open WiFi team, I would like to thank each of you for helping us spread the word. As you may have seen, we are going to continue with Round 2 of the referral program for a little longer in order to allow our new members to get involved, to help spread the word further and to earn some OPP Tokens.

4,000 Community members have so far taken the OPP Open WiFi quiz challenge. The high level of scoring tells us how knowledgeable you all are about OPP Open WiFi, our project and how we intend to run the business moving forward. If you have not taken the quiz yet, please have a go now. You can find the answers within the White Paper and Website.

Extending the ICO

Based upon feedback from our investors and advisers, we have elected to extend the Public Sale to allow more investors the time they have requested to complete their contributions. The end date has been moved to November 30st.

This is great news for OPP Open WiFi, investors, Hotspot Hosts and everyone involved with the project, as it means that our ICO is one step closer to reaching the hard cap. This is very important to us as it allows us to employ the most aggressive marketing strategy moving forward and it also means that we will be on target to reach 25 million Hotspot Hosts ahead of schedule. Additionally, we feel that this is best for our community for the long-term as the project develops and launches an aggressive global roll out, including listing on international exchanges.

Our agreements with our chosen exchange partners are progressing and we will be able to go live immediately after the Hard Cap is reached.

Thank you all for your continued support and for all the help you have given towards our collective aim — to build the world’s first peer to peer, free to access, open global WiFi Hotspot. We will positively affect the lives of millions of people on a daily basis, by removing those barriers which deny people access to the internet. As a Hotspot Host, an Investor and a community member, this is a goal we can all take pride in.
