  <description>This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Deborah Simpier and Justin Kilpatrick, co-founders of Althea, an Internet Service Provider (ISP) platform and blockchain that enables the coordination of multi-stakeholder networks.
Althea is built for a fast and affordable, locally run internet. Althea's unique cooperative vision for the internet brings peering from the data center to the field. Empowering communities to build multi-stakeholder networks faster and more affordably than legacy telecom models. The core technology behind Althea is a price-aware routing protocol and blockchain-based payment system that debits and credits funds based on a router’s bandwidth usage.  Althea decouples the service and infrastructure layers of Internet delivery and coordinates transparent and programmatic revenue sharing.
We spoke to Deborah’ (https://twitter.com/DeborahSimpier) and Justin (https://twitter.com/ttk314) about Althea (https://althea.net/) and:
Open source 
Linux
Engineering 
Impacting the world
Bridges
