Bringing the Next Wave of Amazing Movies and TV Series to the Internet — How NOIA Network Can Make this Happen.

NOIA Network is about to impact many industries. We’ve already talked about it here, here and here. Movies and TV streaming will be one of these industries.
Currently, you get your Youtube, Netflix, Spotify and other content through Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) — a geographically distributed group of servers that work together to provide fast delivery of Internet content.

These servers are very expensive to both build and maintain. As a result, the price of content delivery is kept relatively high. In fact, the price level is so high that it is actually slowing down progress. Tech developments such as VR or AR, 4K or UHD video, the Internet of Things and many more, still can’t be massively adopted due to the high costs to deliver this new type of “heavier” content.
NOIA Network is the first decentralized CDN with no need to either build or maintain huge data servers around the world. How is that possible? NOIA Network pools and utilizes spare bandwidth and storage capacity from individual devices around the world to create a distributed edge caching and delivery network. This significantly increases content availability as it gets geographically closer to the end user, enables faster delivery, reduces costs and allows for implementation of more efficient delivery methods. You can set up a node on your computer, router or data center and earn income for the content you deliver with the help of your hardware.

This makes NOIA into a network that is self-building and self-maintaining. People update their computers regularly so the network renews itself constantly. The problem of building and maintenance costs is solved. Instead, the network is provided and maintained through a collective effort. The result is that content is delivered for the web at a significantly lower cost
We can go back to the movies now.
As the price of content delivery becomes lower, companies such as Netflix, Hulu or HBO have more money on their hands. Of course, they can just share these as dividends when they get an opportunity, but the competition in this market won’t let them do that. Chances are they will invest this spare money into even better production, better talent, better stories, better user experience and better video quality, with all the benefits going to the viewer.
While NOIA Network may still seem very distant to other industries, the internet infrastructure change we’re working on is about to shake up the world. So let’s make it happen faster. We’ve already started our testnet and you can see how it’s going here. If you’re interested in making a change by setting up your own node, here’s your step-by-step guide. By the way, you will earn 200 NOIAs a week while changing the world.
