The post How DePINs Are Solving Privacy, Security, and Latency in Data Hosting Worldwide appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The web hosting market is projected to grow substantially, with anticipated revenue of $192.85 billion in 2025. Mobile data dominates the communication service market with a forecast of $671 billion, while revenue in the mobile voice market is expected to reach $244.3 billion this year. Enterprises worldwide seek private, secure, low-latency, and affordable data transmission hosting for their applications. Among them are companies like Uber, Zoom, Microsoft, and AI-driven platforms requiring scalable compute solutions for inference and training. Uber can log metadata and monitor calls Uber allows users to contact their drivers without revealing their phone number. Instead, they can make a free call directly from the Uber app. The driver doesn’t see their number when they call or text but receives a text message or call from an anonymous local number. However, the feature operates within Uber’s app and infrastructure, meaning all calls are routed through Uber’s servers and systems. Uber often uses VoIP for calls, relying on its centralized backend to facilitate communication between riders and drivers. The company can log metadata such as timestamps, duration, and possibly recordings, which causes discomfort in some riders and drivers who suspect Uber monitors calls. Since the feature relies on VoIP, it can suffer from poor connection quality in areas with weak internet. Latency, dropped calls or distorted audio may occur, especially if either party has a slow network. Some regions or devices may not support in-app calling, requiring users to rely on SMS or external calls. Finally, calls are restricted to the Uber app, meaning users can’t redial a driver later if disconnected. Zoom’s scalable architecture suffers from PSTN constraints Zoom operates data centers in 17 locations worldwide, but it faces potential constraints related to PSTN, the traditional, circuit-switched telephone network that enables landline and mobile phone calls worldwide.
