The Internet wasn’t designed for mobile devices — moving around breaks things! Fortunately, we can hide this behind layers and layers of patched together solutions. Unfortunately, these solutions face performance costs. We show there is another way: by evolving the internals of the operating system, we can provide mobile connectivity for everyone without changing existing applications, hardware, or infrastructure. Solving the underlying problem avoids the performance costs — and also facilitates new privacy defences and use cases! But don’t take our word for it — come and see it in action!
