Q&A

Q: What will exactly happen in June, will I be able to be internet provider after Alpha release?

Q: What is the benefit of the free IUNGO provider plan?

A: Main benefit of free plan — it will be free. If you are a merchant, you won’t get full functionalities. For free Wi-Fi users — they will have speed limitations firstly. More options will be presented before launching Beta release.
