In 2012 DATRO was founded and financed by a small defence communications community within Britains 'Home of Cyber Professionals': The Royal Corps of Signals . The groups charter is very simply Internet as a Right (IaaR) - which is expected to occur after significant investment is made in technology, defence and law. DATRO represents the first key area and will mainly focus on the design, development and distribution of the world first Free Internet Solution.

DATRO saught council from many technology and business leaders including Thomas Power (husband to Penny Power OBE and former apprentice to Sir Alan Sugar) and Dr Richard Stallman (President of the Free Software Foundation). Then in 2012 DATRO's Founder & CEO: Siôn Buckler, flew to the Trade Center in Dubai to attend the World Conference of International Telecommunications (WCIT). An event hosted by the UN's International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and attended by 147 world leaders.

Google warned that the event "threatens the free and open internet", while the hacking group Anonoymous launched cyber attacks which caused the conference to suffer network outages. Siôn, also a British public servant, was the only impartial body to volunteer to attend the event and provide public oversight, by supervising the entire conference. Prior to the final vote, Siôn reported what he was witnessing to world leaders and his own Government back in Britain. This report highlighted the unlawful acts by the ITU and EU representatives to actively obstruct public oversight and input from the British general public. Even DATRO's charter (suggesting internet access become a free and inherent right) never made it from Members of UK Parliment and EU representatives into the debate, despite DATRO being heavily invested in by more than 50 British Armed Forces personel in the defence communications industry. So Siôn took action and handed out the DATRO whitepaper directly to the 147 world leaders:

The UK Prime Minister himself responded to Siôn's report by questioning, rejecting and withdrawing the UK from the treaty. The US Government and a large majority of other Member States then followed suite and withdrew from signing the treaty. On the final day of signing, almost every member state had rejected the treaty. Shortly afterwards the ITU Secretary General resigned and UK Citizens voted to leave the EU. After reading the DATRO Whitepaper, attendees of the WCIT partnered with companies such as Google, Virgin, Vodafone and Facebook to launch their own free internet innitiatives - many of which did not manage to overcome the technical challenges and no longer exist today.

DATRO has remained focused on its charter and made considerable and notable advances towards fulfilling its charter. By 2014 Siôn and his defence communications community had invested and loaned more than half a million pounds to the research and development of DATRO. The entire operation also moved from Britain to Casa De Campo: a 5* Golf Resort in the Caribbean. Then again to a custom built campus on the northern east coast of the island, the Scottish Bay. DATRO also gained its biggest single investment of more than $100,000 USD in 2015, moved to a more strategically valuable campus on the Scottish Bay and upgraded its security from two (3-time decorated) private military security contractors to a small team of dedicated, unifomed personel.

By 2016 Google's Chairman and CEO at the time (Eric Schmidt) started to endorse DATRO posts on Social Media, which was followed shortly afterwards with Google's Patents division approaching DATRO and awarding $2Million of security patents (aquired from Motorola©). An employee of Google's Secret division (Team X) also visited the DATRO campus and awarded DATRO's dedicated defence force (Caribbean Communications Unit) an island wide contract for Google Loon Balloon recovery - which included authority and budgets for drones, a helicopter and a dedicated Air Traffic Control System.

Today DATRO is producing its own technology products, operated by the new DATRO Operating System: Hotspotβnβ. After some brainstorming with US Marine Lt. Col Curtis Van-Sant, DATRO even founded a new collective term and two spin-off projects. These include: Internet as a Right (IaaR), Caribbean Communications Unit (CCU) and the Scottish Bay Society;

In 2018 DATRO migrated its free internet software soltuion to a free and open-source model. DATRO also incorporated as a for-profit company, projecting $100Million+ turnover a year from as soon as 2020. A mere fraction of the revenue expected to pass between advertisers and internet service providers using DATRO technologies. Since global annual display adversing expendature has now exceeded $200Billion (and continues to climb each year). While cost (and demand) of connecting the worlds unconnected, continues to grow. DATRO acts as a bridge between the two, improving ad targeting for advertisers, while simultaniously subsidising the cost of connectivity by up to 100%. And with no more cost barriers to internet connectivity, the unconnected will finally become connected.

As of 2018 DATRO released version 0.0.4 of Hotspotβnβ. This is a reverse engineered version of the Software System Operating the in-house prototype. The software has been re-written as a script for quick product assembly, installation and network growth. It can install to a device and configure itself fully-automatically (plug & play). The software is also able to self-update.

In April 2019 version 0.5.0 of Hotspotβnβ was released. The solution features many changes including a built-in game station, virtual gamepads and a free iptv service. As of 2019 DATRO is also holding a Series A Funding Investment Round (exchanging 15% equity in order to raise a further $2.5Million USD).
