How Public Data Officers (PDOs) Can Earn Revenue

The PM WANI framework has created an unprecedented opportunity for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and local shops to become Public Data Offices (PDOs) and provide public Wi-Fi. However, to make this a sustainable business, PDOs need efficient revenue models that ensure profitability while keeping internet access affordable.

This is where Gavedu’s blockchain-powered monetization strategies come into play, offering multiple earning opportunities beyond traditional Wi-Fi services. Let’s explore how PDOs can maximize their revenue while enabling seamless, secure, and inclusive internet access.

1. Charging Users for High-Speed Internet Access

While PM WANI promotes affordable public Wi-Fi, PDOs can implement tiered pricing to generate revenue.

How it Works:

✔ Basic Free Access – Users get limited data at a lower speed to browse essential services (e.g., government sites, education platforms).

✔ Paid High-Speed Access – Users can pay for premium, high-speed internet to stream videos, play games, or work remotely.

✔ Subscription Plans – Offer daily, weekly, or monthly packages for frequent users.

Gavedu’s Role:

Blockchain-Powered Payments – Users can pay seamlessly using UPI, digital wallets, or GVDT tokens.

Transparent Billing – Payments are automatically tracked and distributed using smart contracts, ensuring instant revenue for PDOs.

Example: A café offering free Wi-Fi for basic browsing but charging ₹20 per hour for high-speed streaming can generate consistent revenue from regular customers.

2. Earning Through Ad-Sponsored Free Wi-Fi (Gavedu’s Ad-Engagement Model)

Many users in India prefer free internet over paid access. Gavedu solves this by enabling an ad-sponsored Wi-Fi model, where businesses and advertisers fund connectivity in exchange for user engagement.

How it Works:

✔ Users watch a short ad before getting free internet.

✔ Advertisers pay for the ad views, and PDOs receive a share of the revenue.

✔ Users earn GVDT tokens, which they can redeem for additional Wi-Fi access.

Gavedu’s Role:

Automated Revenue Distribution – Smart contracts ensure PDOs get paid instantly based on the number of ad views.

No Middlemen – Blockchain removes intermediaries, ensuring fair revenue sharing.

Higher Engagement = Higher Earnings – More users = more ad views = higher earnings for PDOs.

Example: A shop owner installs a PM WANI hotspot with Gavedu’s ad-sponsored model. Users watch a 15-second ad to access 30 minutes of free Wi-Fi. The shop owner earns ₹0.50 per ad view, generating ₹500+ daily with just 1,000 users.

3. Revenue-Sharing with ISPs and Technology Partners

PDOs don’t operate alone—they rely on PDO Aggregators (PDOAs) and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to provide internet connectivity. Gavedu enables seamless revenue-sharing between all stakeholders, ensuring each participant benefits fairly.

How it Works:

✔ PDOs earn commission from ISPs based on data usage.

✔ Aggregators & Technology Providers help manage networks and receive a share of revenue.

✔ Gavedu’s smart contracts ensure instant, transparent revenue-sharing.

Gavedu’s Role:

Automated Profit Distribution – No manual settlements; payments are handled instantly via blockchain.

Transparent Revenue Tracking – PDOs can track real-time earnings from users, ads, and ISP partnerships.

Fair Profit Distribution – No hidden fees; every stakeholder gets their fair share.

Example: A PDO partners with an ISP offering 10% revenue-sharing. If the hotspot generates ₹10,000/month, the PDO earns ₹9,000, and the ISP gets ₹1,000.
