Bengaluru/Belgavi, India — Anthropic today 26th Jan 2026 announced the market launch of DopaNet™, a patented WiFi monetisation platform that fundamentally changes how internet access is monetised, delivered, and experienced across the globe.
Protected by a 20-year granted patent (from 2022 to 2042), DopaNet introduces a new economic layer to the internet — enabling connectivity to fund itself while delivering superior value to users, advertisers, ISPs, institutions, and governments.
The launch begins with a large-scale collaboration with Big Ventures (Nagesh Chabriya Group), targeting 3 million households in the first phase. Parallel discussions are underway with multiple universities and state governments in Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Goa.
Despite billions of users consuming internet services daily, the underlying WiFi infrastructure remains largely unmonetised or inefficiently monetised.
Legacy captive-portal technology — commonly used in airports, hotels, and railway stations — is outdated, intrusive, and financially unviable in today’s digital economy.
DopaNet breaks away from the traditional model of monetising content or websites. Instead, it monetises internet access itself.
Using patented router-level firmware and a proprietary advertisement stack, DopaNet converts every WiFi router into a smart revenue-generating digital asset.
DopaNet is protected by a granted patent valid until 2042, creating a strong global barrier to entry and long-term defensibility.
Unlike legacy systems, users set up the DopaNet app once and enjoy uninterrupted internet access. Monetisation frequency is dynamic — from continuous to hours apart — fully controlled by strategy.
DopaNet works seamlessly with fiber broadband, 4G/5G SIM routers, Starlink, Li-Fi, and future WAN technologies, making it portable and globally scalable.
DopaNet finally delivers what advertisers pay for — real attention and measurable outcomes.
Users exchange a few seconds of attention for hours of uninterrupted internet — a fair and transparent value exchange.
DopaNet introduces a new recurring revenue stream without increasing subscription prices.
With Big Venture Group, DopaNet’s initial rollout covers 3 million homes, representing over 12 million end users. Multiple university deployments and state-level government discussions are actively progressing.
This positions DopaNet not as a pilot experiment, but as a market-ready platform with real scale.
DopaNet creates a new internet economy where:
Anthropic India envisions DopaNet as a global standard for monetised connectivity — powering smart cities, campuses, transport systems, public infrastructure, and emerging markets worldwide.
DopaNet is not just improving the internet — it is redefining how the world connects.
