Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission represents the GSMA, the global trade body for the mobile ecosystem, which possesses immense intrinsic utility and reach (billions of users). However, the submission itself is of low quality, featuring inaccurate financial data ('marketcap: 2500000' is likely an error or references a token, as GSMA revenue is significantly higher) and generic traction claims ('most people'). The score reflects the massive scale of the actual entity, heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable evidence and poor data entry in the application.

Description
The GSMA is a global organisation unifying the mobile ecosystem to discover, develop and deliver innovation foundational to positive business environments and societal change. Our vision is to unlock the full power of connectivity so that people, industry and society thrive. We operate through three main pillars: ✔️ Connectivity for Good engages members, governments and civil society, to advance positive policy and spectrum outcomes, facilitate digital innovation to reduce inequalities in our world, and tackle today’s biggest societal challenges such as digital inclusion, climate change and sustainability. ✔️ Industry Solutions supports the technology and interoperability that make mobile work. For instance, we assist the industry’s development in areas such as 5G, Mobile IoT, fraud and security, through our projects, working groups and other collaborative activities. ✔️ Our events provide successful ways of bringing the ecosystem and adjacent industries together, to make strong business connections and drive positive impact. From the world’s largest and most influential connectivity event, MWC, in Barcelona, Shanghai, Las Vegas, Kigali & Doha, to the growing M360 series that has a more regional focus.
