Tulare County Rural Broadband Project Breaks Ground

Comcast California

Today, Comcast hosted a groundbreaking ceremony in Pixley, CA, a rural community approximately 30 miles south of Visalia, to kick off its new rural broadband expansion project in Tulare County. The project will bring Comcast’s smart, fast, reliable, fiber-rich Xfinity broadband network to approximately 6,200 previously unserved locations in areas of Alpaugh, Dinuba, Earlimart, Kingsburg, Pixley, Sultana, Traver, Tulare, Visalia, and Tipton and is expected to be completed by early 2026. The planned expansion adds to Comcast’s more than $4 billion in technology and infrastructure investments across California in the past three years. The expansion is made possible by a more than $26 million Federal Funding Account (FFA) grant from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and private funding by Comcast. Additionally, Comcast announced a $25,000 contribution to the Tulare County Office of Education Foundation to help create greater digital equity and provide digital literacy resources that enable students, individuals, and families to access high speed Internet and more fully participate in the digital economy. “What we value so much about Comcast is they take a big picture view of our community,” said Fernie Marroquin, Assistant Superintendent, Tulare County Office of Education. “So yes, deploying this kind of advanced networking technology is huge. But Comcast goes beyond that to ask ‘how else can we help?’ And with a financial contribution of this size and scale, that much needed help can go a long way toward supporting a variety of needs -- and our community greatly appreciates it.” “We could not be happier or prouder that Tulare County is one of the first areas to receive a Federal Funding Account grant to bring high-speed broadband to our rural communities,” Pete Vander Poel, Tulare County Board of Supervisors. “This sizable investment in our technology infrastructure will drive economic development, support existing businesses, while attracting new ones, and enable enhanced educational opportunities and career growth for our residents. We are grateful to Comcast and the CPUC and look forward to working together to bring this important project to fruition.” “Access to next-generation broadband is something that some communities may take for granted, but it’s a really big deal in this rural part of the state.” said Donnette Silva Carter, CEO of the Tulare Chamber of Commerce. “I can’t wait to see how this technology shapes our future, supports the region’s growth, and enables us to compete in ways that were never even possible before. I think this is going to be a game changer!” Comcast’s commitment to new communities goes beyond the build—addressing digital opportunities in communities through Project UP, the company’s $1 billion dollar commitment to help tens of millions of people connect to the Internet and build futures of unlimited possibilities. Over the past three years, Comcast has invested more than $130.5 million in cash and in-kind donations into California nonprofits focused on helping people build digital skills, expanding WiFi connected Lift Zones, and funding connectivity and Internet adoption programs. Comcast’s funding also supports ongoing efforts to build awareness about affordable connectivity services like Internet Essentials, which offers eligible households high-speed Internet for $9.95/month or Internet Essentials Plus for $29.95/month. Affordable computers are also available through Internet Essentials. Since its inception in 2011, the program has connected more than 2.2 million Californians. Residential customers will be able to take advantage of Xfinity’s full suite of products, including Internet, video, mobile, voice and managed home solutions. For local businesses, Comcast Business will offer a suite of connectivity, communications, networking, cybersecurity, wireless, and managed solutions to help organizations of different sizes prepare for what’s next.

With the next-generation Xfinity gateways, we deliver the most advanced WiFi technology carrying three times more bandwidth to power streaming, gaming, videoconferencing, and more, simultaneously. Fastest Internet: Nearly a third of Xfinity Internet customers subscribe to gigabit speed products. Recently Comcast connected the first customers in the world to a DOCSIS 4.0 connection, delivering symmetrical gig speeds over existing connections in customers’ homes with plans to continue to rollout these speeds across the country over the coming years. Unprecedented Coverage: The latest Xfinity Gateway provides a more reliable connection throughout the home. Customers can get wall-to-wall WiFi coverage with a powerful WiFi Boost Pod that extends coverage to hard-to-reach areas of the home. Most Reliable Connection: Comcast is scaling the nation’s largest and most reliable network that passes 62 million homes and businesses and counting. The company launched Storm-Ready WiFi, a new device that comes powered with cellular and battery backup to help keep customers connected even when the power goes out. Ultra-Low Latency: The Xfinity network and the latest Xfinity Gateway are a powerful combination that deliver ultra-low latency for those moments when response times matter most like video games, a fast-growing category with Xfinity households averaging more than one gaming console per home. For local businesses in Tulare County, Comcast Business will offer a suite of connectivity, communications, networking, cybersecurity, wireless, and managed solutions to help organizations of different sizes prepare for what’s next.

TRON Unites as Silver Sponsor at SmartCon, Justin Sun Announces TRON Integration with Chainlink Data Feeds

TRON DAO

Geneva, Switzerland, November 6, 2024 - Justin Sun, Founder of TRON, Global Advisor of HTX and Prime Minister of Liberland, delivered a keynote address at the Chainlink SmartCon, held in Hong Kong from October 30 -31. This industry-leading conference brought together top blockchain founders and experts from the world's largest financial institutions and market infrastructures, where TRON DAO was featured as a Silver Sponsor. During his keynote speech, Sun announced that Chainlink Data Feeds will become the official data oracle solution for the TRON blockchain ecosystem as part of TRON DAO joining the Chainlink Scale program. Event Highlights TRON DAO was proud to participate as a Silver Sponsor at Chainlink’s SmartCon, where its booth became a vibrant hub for engaging with industry leaders, developers, and blockchain enthusiasts. The event offered TRON a valuable opportunity to showcase its latest innovations and vision for empowering creators, developers, and users through a decentralized ecosystem. Justin Sun’s Keynote Highlights "Chainlink's industry-standard data oracles will help secure JustLend and JustStable —the two largest DeFi applications on TRON, representing over 6.5 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL)," Sun stated. TRON’s participation in the Chainlink Scale program provides developers with sustainable access to high-quality and hyper-reliable oracle services while also creating additional opportunities for Chainlink and TRON’s $60 billion in stablecoins and real-world assets (RWAs). Initially, TRON will cover certain operating costs of Chainlink oracle networks (e.g., transaction gas fees) for a period of time, before such costs can transition to being fully covered by dApp user fees as the ecosystem matures. Sun also highlighted the TRON blockchain's significant growth, reporting a global user base of over 270 million accounts and 8.8 billion transactions. Additionally, the TRON blockchain achieved historical highs with $577 million in quarterly protocol revenue in Q3 2024. Looking Ahead In closing his keynote, Sun highlighted several initiatives on TRON’s roadmap: a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution and gas-free stablecoin transfers. With these key initiatives, TRON DAO plans to expand accessibility, empower developers, and ease blockchain adoption, setting a strong foundation for developers and projects building on the TRON blockchain. About TRON DAO TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps. Founded in September 2017 by Justin Sun, the TRON network has continued to deliver impressive achievements since MainNet launch in May 2018. July 2018 also marked the integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services, boasting over 100 million monthly active users. The TRON network has gained incredible traction in recent years. As of November 2024, it has over 270 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 8.8 billion total transactions, and over $16 billion in total value locked (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN. In addition, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin across the globe, overtaking USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-governed DAO. Most recently in October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, which marks the first time a major public blockchain partnered with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. On top of the government’s endorsement to issue Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token to help promote Dominica’s global fanfare, seven existing TRON-based tokens – TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, have been granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga When it comes to trading, speed is of the essence. To be successful, traders need access to fast trading platforms, customizable tools and deep insights into market moves. The Trading Pit, a proprietary trading firm, knows that – which is why it just added integration with NinjaTrader to its arsenal of trading platforms. It makes sense that The Trading Pit would integrate with the NinjaTrader platform. After all, NinjaTrader has a reputation in the market for its speed, efficiency and customizable features, reports The Trading Pit. NinjaTrader is also something the trading firm says customers were clamoring for, and since it’s committed to giving its prop traders what they want, integration with NinjaTrader was a no-brainer. “Traders have shown great enthusiasm for the NinjaTrader platform, renowned for its speed, efficiency and customizable features,” wrote The Trading Pit when announcing the integration. “At The Trading Pit, we’ve always prioritized listening to our community, and this integration is a clear reflection of that commitment. By offering NinjaTrader with its Prime Futures challenges, The Trading Pit provides prop traders with the precision and control needed to excel in the competitive futures market.” The Trading Pit is committed to meeting the demands of its traders.

Empowering Traders With Platforms And Tools Liechtenstein-based The Trading Pit, with offices in Spain and Cyprus, is a proprietary trading firm that offers traders the chance to hone their skills on cutting-edge simulated platforms. The firm says it empowers traders to enhance their strategies while earning up to 80% of their simulated profits. The Trading Pit offers a diverse range of trading challenges aimed at cultivating and identifying trading talent. To achieve that, the company offers comprehensive support, including educational resources, mentorship and personalized tools. What The Trading Pit says sets NinjaTrader apart from its rivals is its advanced functionalities that enable futures traders to execute strategies with accuracy and precision, tailor trading environments to individual preferences and gain deeper insights into market movements. Combine that with The Trading Pit’s other integrations, including Tradovate, which is a commission-free futures trading platform and TradingView, which provides charting and analysis tools, and The Trading Pit says it marks the beginning of a new chapter for the trading firm. One in which innovation meets trader-focused solutions.

"We are also pleased to offer the TradingView add-on for free to all our customers, enhancing their analytical capabilities at no extra cost."

The Asia-Pacific region saw the largest increase, followed by North America, Latin America and Europe. The integration of NinjaTrader also supports The Trading Pit’s efforts to expand into new markets, including the U.K., Canada and the U.S., places NinjaTrader has a strong following, reports The Trading Pit. The collaboration aims to attract futures traders and members of the NinjaTrader community, offering them what the company says is an enhanced trading experience and funded accounts.

Market Alert: New Report Highlights Steakholder Foods Major Shift to Commercialization & Revenue Generation

Global Markets News

A new report by PESG Research highlights Steakholder Foods’ (NASDAQ: STKH) transformative journey from research and development to commercialization in the alternative protein and 3D food printing sectors. The report highlights how 2024 marked a pivotal year for the company, with strategic partnerships fueling revenue generation and positioning Steakholder Foods for potential growth in a booming market. Strategic Partnerships Lay Foundation for Revenue Growth Steakholder Foods secured multiple strategic agreements in 2024 that validate its proprietary technology and solidify its commercial potential. Key partnerships include a commercial memorandum of understanding with Wyler Farm, which involves the purchase of Steakholder Foods’ MX200 meat printer and SH™-Beef premix blends. This agreement also encompasses royalties and raw materials supply, enabling large-scale production of alternative proteins. Additional partnerships with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan and regional collaborations in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) highlight the company’s international reach. The GCC partnership, aimed at supporting local food security initiatives, involves constructing a pilot facility for hybrid-cultivated fish production and showcases Steakholder Foods’ scalability in new markets. These agreements are seen as significant steps toward establishing long-term, recurring revenue streams. Initial Purchase Orders Signal Commercial Viability According to the company, initial purchase orders from key partners such as Bondor Foods and Wyler Farm have initiated revenue streams, providing critical proof of concept for Steakholder Foods’ business model. In September 2024, Bondor Foods placed its first order for plant-based premixes for white fish and salmon patties, followed by Wyler Farm’s order for SH™-Beef premix for a new line of plant-based meat products. These initial revenues underscore the company’s successful transition from R&D to commercialization. Moreover, in a bid to attract new clients and partners, Steakholder Foods inaugurated a state-of-the-art Demonstration Center in Israel. The facility showcases live demonstrations of its MX200 and HD144 3D printers, highlighting their capabilities in real-time production of plant-based meat and seafood alternatives. This hands-on experience allows potential partners to witness the full production process, reinforcing the quality and versatility of Steakholder Foods’ offerings. Positioned for Potential Growth in Expanding Markets The PESG report places Steakholder Foods within the context of a rapidly expanding alternative protein market, projected to grow from $76.3 billion in 2023 to $423 billion by 2033. This growth is driven by consumer interest in sustainable and health-conscious food options. Additionally, the 3D food printing market is expected to surge, with estimates forecasting growth from USD 34.7 million in 2019 to USD 1,015.4 million by 2027, driven by advances in technology and consumer demand for innovative food solutions. The report highlights how Steakholder Foods’ advancements potentially align with these industry trends, positioning the company as a potential leader in sustainable food production. Its proprietary 3D printing technology and strategic partnerships are poised to capture a share of this growing demand, particularly as cost management initiatives and recurring revenues take effect. Outlook and Future Prospects With strategic partnerships maturing and a demonstration center enhancing its market presence, Steakholder Foods appears poised for potential revenue growth in the coming years. The company has noted that it is in advanced discussions for a high-impact international agreement expected to close by early 2025. This move could further bolster Steakholder Foods’ position as a leader in the alternative protein sector, which continues to gain momentum amid shifting consumer preferences and sustainability goals.

Crossroads Summit Taps Leading AI Expert Pascal Bornet For November Event To Offer Insights On Tackling Chaos Caused By Disruptive Innovation

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga The 2024 Crossroads Summit is less than a month away – get your tickets for this event that promises important insights! When Challenger, Gray & Christmas, an executive outplacement firm, began tracking the effect AI was having on labor markets, it noted that it was “ no longer a just threat on the horizon.” One of America’s leading authorities on hyperautomation, a combination of robotic process automation (RPA) and AI, agrees that the future is almost here – but it doesn’t have to mean jobs are threatened. Will The Risks Of AI Outweigh Its Rewards According to award-winning expert Pascal Bornet, “algorithms are to white-collar workers what tractors were to farmers.” Bornet should know. He is a recognized thought leader on the subjects of RPA and AI. Bornet is the author of the best-selling book “Intelligent Automation” and is ranked as one of the top 10 global experts in AI and Automation. He was named the Global Top Voice in Tech in 2019 and the number one Global Thought Leader in RPA in 2020. In 2022, Bornet was named one of the 50 most powerful AI influencers, and in 2023, he was named a top 50 global thought leader and influencer on AI. He is currently among the top 25 AI Influencers to follow in 2024. Bornet is a senior executive with more than 20 years of experience in digital transformation. He founded and led the “AI and Automation” practices at McKinsey & Company and Ernst & Young (EY) and is currently on the leadership team of Mountain View, California-based software innovator Aera Technology. Published in Forbes, Bloomberg, The World Economic Forum, McKinsey Quarterly, The Times, Japan Times, Business Times, AI Magazine and CIO Advisors, Bornet is a member of the Forbes Technology Council, a Senior Advisor for the Institute of Robotic, Automation and Artificial Intelligence (IRPAAI), and a senior advisor and board member to several startup enterprises and nonprofits. Bornet notes that RPA and AI are tools that “dramatically increase the productivity of each worker, and thus shrink the total number of workers required to produce the same output.” But he also points out that “as some work activities are displaced, new ones, more fulfilling and value-adding, arise.” This dichotomy between the potential risks and opportunities created by hyperautomation will be among the subjects Bornet addresses as a keynote speaker at the upcoming Crossroads Summit to be held on November 21 st and 22 nd in Miami, Florida. Why Investors And Business Leaders Are Attending The Crossroads Summit Even as hyperautomation often presents contrasting paths leading to potential risks and opportunities, the Crossroads Summit, sponsored by TradeStation Group, offers leaders a vision into the broader theme of juxtaposing potential risks against possible opportunities that could emerge from a rapidly changing world. Apart from disruptions related to technology, like the rise of AI and decentralized currencies, economic uncertainty defined by the end of near-zero interest rates and stubborn inflation pressure exists in a world where regional conflict and global tension remain in daily headlines. Yet emerging from each of these unsettling challenges could be unexpected investment opportunities. In the United States alone, every change in the federal government’s stance on regulating businesses and fiscal and monetary policy brings the potential for new investable products to emerge. The Crossroads Summit was created to provide business leaders and investors with an opportunity to hear from – and mingle with – some of the most respected authorities in disciplines including economics and political science, history and demographics and technology and automation. The Crossroads Summit could be a catalyst for uncovering opportunities for many, a place to forge new connections and a chance to redefine your future investments. TradeStation Group Is A Title Sponsor Of The Crossroads Summit TradeStation Group is an integral member of the Crossroads Summit ecosystem. The firm brings expertise, resources and opportunities that enrich the summit experience and empower attendees to thrive amid uncertainty. Supporting both sophisticated traders and institutions, TradeStation Group, through its operating subsidiaries, offers trading and brokerage solutions, award-winning trading software, modern analytics tools and extensive customization, as well as a private brokerage service to qualified clients. TradeStation Group’s sponsorship of the Summit appropriately dovetails its capabilities with the needs of attendees, as does the presence of leading experts such as Pascal Bornet.

MYBUNDLE BLACK FRIDAY INDUSTRY INITIATIVE DELIVERS STREAMING TV DEALS AND SPENDING POWER TO MILLIONS OF HOLIDAY SHOPPERS

MyBundle

MyBundle, the leading platform connecting consumers, streaming services and broadband providers with tools to simplify streaming television, shared details of a new Black Friday industry program. The program leverages MyBundle’s unique channel of big and small broadband provider partners around the country to give streaming services and their Black Friday deals unprecedented exposure and context. MyBundle partners with a growing network of more than 270 broadband providers that collectively serve more than 13.5 million internet customers. These customers look to their broadband providers for guidance on streaming TV services and often, free credits toward streaming TV bundled with their internet service. In turn, broadband providers look to MyBundle to provide marketing resources, expertise and a vehicle for providing those credits. The MyBundle Black Friday program capitalizes on these relationships with two key components. First, MyBundle will publish all Black Friday streaming deals the moment they go live at mybundle.tv/pages/black-friday, which instantly syndicates across the sites of the MyBundle broadband partner network. Second, MyBundle is giving those partners everything they need - from marketing materials to customer emails to a co-branded site where customers receive their MyBundle streaming payment cards - to offer their own Black Friday streaming TV promotions. For example, order internet service and get $100 in streaming credits to spend on Black Friday deals or upgrade your internet service and get $15/month for the next six months. “Consumers have long adopted Black Friday as the unofficial start of the holiday shopping period, and the streaming industry has jumped in with both feet. MyBundle believes it is the ideal time for folks to sign up for new services they have had their eyes on,” said MyBundle Co-Founder and CEO, Jason Cohen. “With this program, broadband providers get to leverage streaming deals to grow subscriber adds, upgrades and retention and to drive broadband revenue. Streamers get to leverage the broadband providers to get their deals in front of new customers. And customers get outstanding values on streaming deals, from a provider they trust, with subsidies to spend and a directory of where to spend it.” Streaming services that want to be promoted to this base of millions of subsidized streamers should send the details of their Black Friday offer, including discounts and effective dates to blackfriday@mybundle.tv.
