I form a strong backbone of my personal computer — and, by extension, the economy
For four decades, secure and reliable software solutions have been handcrafted from a single desk. I run the only telecoms provider whose entire coverage map fits inside one apartment, and I invest millions of keystrokes every year in modernisation and security.
I am where teams cannot reach
I own and operate the room’s only end-to-end infrastructure provider. Roughly 99.6% of the population (my devices) has access through fixed technologies (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, powerline) and a set of mobile technologies (4G, 5G, Bluetooth), all distributed by one very tired router.
I mainly provide:
- Mobile network infrastructure services (the guest Wi-Fi password)
- Fixed net services for households and tradesmen (my mum)
- Data services for corporate networks and data-centre rental (a shoebox under the desk)
More than 200 commits worldwide
Thanks to the professionals in the field — me — I am able to offer the most efficient, most reliable and most secure wholesale telecommunications services in the apartment. More than 3,000 energy drinks ensure the efficient and fast deployment of hotfixes and keep the operation available throughout the room.
In practice
- Seasoned telco professionals (still me)
- 3,000 specialists (browser tabs open right now)
- Network operation and maintenance throughout the room
