## About

Let's build an open, free and community-owned IoT data network for Tokyo!

Sharing low cost connectivity for sensors to communities. Currently 3G and Internet are not cheap in Japan and in case of disaster bandwidth is taken away by the government. So realtime data independent of government to inform the public. At Safecast we experienced what happened on 03/11 in Japan.
