With Labor Market Still A Concern, Are There Endless Opportunities In The Online Learning Market For This Burgeoning AI Company?

Amesite Inc.

Learn More about Amesite Inc. by gaining access to the latest research report Many organizations are struggling with the digital transformation efforts they have begun, according to David Rogers, a professor at Columbia Business School in New York City. While the reasons vary, the most common is that there is a talent and skill shortage. While upskilling could be the solution, not many organizations prioritize it. As PA Consulting Chief Research Officer Charlene Li says in the “Digital Transformation Refocused: New Goals Require New Strategies” report published by Harvard Business Review, not enough businesses focus on the transformation part of digital transformation, which is about people. Bridging the Gap With Ed-Tech? Amesite Inc. (NASDAQ: AMST) is an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software company providing cloud-based learning and content creation ecosystems for educational institutions, businesses and organizations. Amesite recently launched Version 5 (V5) of its AI-driven online learning platform. The upgraded version was built for scale-ability to deliver to large user bases with features that lead the industry. V5 also offers the capability to integrate the platform with other software programs and partner sites seamlessly. Amesite’s V5 platform equips customers with a holistic learning ecosystem and offers capabilities from an e-commerce solution to auto-enrollment of users to streamlined deployment in just 24 hours. The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics says there are more than 65,000 medium and large companies. With the current skill and talent shortage, most of these organizations could be looking to onboard, train and upskill a large number of their employees. Amesite says its V5 platform is scalable and capable of meeting the needs of over 65,000 customers. The launch of V5 is part of Amesite’s long-term goal of becoming a leader in the e-learning space alongside players such Coursera Inc. (NYSE: COUR) and 2U Inc. (NASDAQ: TWOU). The global e-learning market was valued at $215 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $1 trillion by 2028. With V5, Amesite also aims to help with workplace training both in the U.S. and globally. The U.S. workplace training industry had a market value of $165 billion in 2020, according to Statista. Global Market Insights reports that by 2028 the industry is projected to reach $1 trillion. Partnership Deals Amesite has had a number of collaborations and its partnership with Wayne State University’s College of Engineering is a proof point that Amesite is building systems that retain customers – and enable them to scale. The company announced the expansion of its partnership with the university, which will integrate its V5 e-commerce solution into its system. The new development will enable learners to register, pay and enroll for courses directly on the university’s website, increasing the accessibility and engagement of Wayne State University’s nearly 30,000 engineering alumni and hundreds of thousands of other professionals. Amesite says its platform will help Wayne State and other partnering universities scale globally, by delivering tailor-made programs suited for their learners. By offering on their own brands, universities can use Amesite’s solutions to leverage their strengths, rather than compete their products against other universities’ offerings on common sites. The results speak for themselves considering that Wayne State reports 98% retention across its Amesite-powered programs in the three years it has worked with the company. Amesite also highlighted the platform’s capabilities and recently reported on the successful delivery of a “Full Scale, Global Enterprise Learning Solution” for the EWIE Group of Companies (EGC) in a press release and case study. “We know that people are our most important resource. Having people with the most advanced skills is a huge competitive advantage for us,” said Jay Mullick, President of EWIE Group of Companies. “Amesite is at the center of all our business process training at EGC. We have appreciated the support of their team throughout the relationship. Using Amesite’s global upskilling technology platform enables our people to gain the know-how to meet our most demanding customers’ needs, quickly and efficiently.” For Amesite, the market potential looks significant and promising because of the many thousands of educational institutions, organizations and businesses seeking the type of services the company offers. The company’s list of recent achievements also includes winning an exclusive partnership with NAFEO, a national membership organization that represents 106 HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities ). With this partnership, the Company is targeting $10M in revenue, by raising support for NAFEO to launch partnerships with its member Colleges and Universities — this represents a massive opportunity with a large group of educational institutions in its own right and could point toward further success for additional significant partnerships. NAFEO members enroll more than 700,000 students, they have 72,000 faculty, and 7 million alumni worldwide.

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology Produces 'Change Makers'

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology

The next generation of mental health professionals - some 275 “change makers” were awarded master’s and doctoral degrees last Friday at two commencement ceremonies for the Washington, DC campus of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. The graduates enter a profession dealing with severe shortages at a time when experts say as many as one-in-five people in this country suffer from a mental disorder, and only half of those who need help can get it. In addressing the graduates, Dr. Michele Nealon, Psy.D. President of The Chicago School, said “I hope that your time as a Chicago School student has lit a fire within you – a fire to provide empathetic support for those in need. I urge you to follow your passion for service as far as you can and to light the way for others.” Joining Dr. Nealon in awarding diplomas was Dr. Donald Schultz, Ph.D, Chief Academic Officer of The Chicago School and Dr. Thelma Day, Ph.D., recipient of an honorary degree for her contributions as a counselor-educator, organizational leader and college professor. One of two student speakers was Dr. Akshaya Parthasarathi, Ph.D., a data analyst at the federal Office of Minorities and Women Inclusion, tasked by the U.S. Congress to develop policies to ensure equitable treatment of all by the nation’s financial institutions. She shared her story as an international student who is grateful to her professors and fellow students. “What looked like a distant dream for a girl from India, to study abroad in an institution like this, was made possible because of each of you. Accepting me as I am--allowing me to be different--has let me grow into a global citizen with varied experiences and stories in my pocket,” she said. “My goal is to share these experiences with people of the world, to show the power of community, and the success one can achieve when people let you be you.” Another student speaker, Dr. Bethany Patterson, Ph.D., serves as clinical director at Helianthus Positive Behavior Supports, provider of counseling services to children and families in Virginia and North Carolina. She told her story, as she sought an institution that would support her role as a military spouse and mother of three. “I needed a school that was supportive and respectful of the military lifestyle because I had unique needs,” she said. “I found a place where the learning environment is optimized by active learners with diverse cultures,” she said. “Today I embody The Chicago School’s values of innovation, service, and community-- I am giving back by creating a space to encourage other military spouses to further their education.” The Chicago School serves a majority minority student body in which two of three students identify as individuals of color. The 43-year old non-profit institution has more than 6,000 students enrolled in 30 degree and certificate programs. About The Chicago School of Professional Psychology: Integrating theory with hands-on experience, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology provides education rooted in a commitment to innovation, service, and community for thousands of diverse students across the United States and globally. Founded in 1979, the nonprofit, regionally accredited university now features campuses in iconic locations across the country (Chicago, Southern California, Washington, D.C., New Orleans, Dallas) and online. To spark positive change in the world where it matters most, The Chicago School has continued to expand its educational offerings beyond the field of psychology to offer more than 30 degrees and certificates in the professional fields of health services, education, counseling, business, and more. Through its engaged professional model of education, commitment to diversity and inclusion, and an extensive network of domestic and international professional partnerships, The Chicago School’s students receive real-world training opportunities that reflect their future careers. The Chicago School is proud to be a part of TCS Education System, a nonprofit, integrated system of colleges and universities that works collaboratively to advance student success and community impact.

Environmental Artist Gives a Voice to World’s Most Endangered Animals with Exhibition Beginning Tomorrow (Nov 2nd - 13th) at London's Oxo Tower Gallery

PR Superstar

WITH COP 27 getting underway soon, one of the world’s top wildlife and environmental artists is staging a free all-powerful, thought-provoking exhibition from tomorrow (Nov 2 nd -13 th ) at London’s OXO Tower Gallery highlighting the peril of the most endangered animals on the planet - with sales of her artwork funding vital conservation work. Multi-award-winning fine artist and passionate conservationist Sophie Green was a selective mute until the age of seven and spent her time outside immersed in nature and wildlife. Having battled mutism as a child, the 30-year-old now aims to give animals a voice through her striking artwork. Her photorealistic paintings of some of the world’s most under-threat creatures, such as polar bears, rhinos, tigers and whales, attract an A-List following, with 150,000 fans on social media, and she is on her way to becoming a blue-chip artist like British fine art photographer and conservationist David Yarrow. Sophie’s artwork provides a window into another eco-system - connecting the viewer with wildlife from all over the world, whilst also drawing attention to the plight of species at the hands of mankind and climate change. “I paint animals to save animals,” said the Surrey-born former primary school teacher, who lives and works in East Sussex and has previously exhibited at COP 26. “It is my hope to make a difference in the world of conservation and use my art to make a positive impact on the world.” Sophie’s work often draws the viewer’s attention to the vulnerability, power or emotion of the animal - and the star attraction of her free forthcoming art exhibition ‘Impermanence’ is the commanding ‘Majesty’ featuring an East African lion and named in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who was instrumental in encouraging conservation efforts across the world. Since turning professional, Sophie has donated more than 10% of her income to wildlife and conservation charities worldwide, as well as setting up her own project fund that will support vital conservation work, from safeguarding the snow leopards of the Himalayas, to conducting research on threatened marine species like sharks and turtles. ‘Impermanence’ is Sophie’s collection of 14 inspiring, evocative and thought-provoking pieces, painted in a hyper-realistic style. The talented artist travels the world taking photos of endangered creatures in their natural environment that she can then paint - she went to the Arctic last year and next year, she’ll be visiting Tanzania. “All of my pieces are based on a species or a current conservation issue that has drawn my attention,” she said. “If there isn’t an underlying reason for creating the piece of art, my passion for the piece dwindles. For example, my recent expedition to the Arctic brought forward so many issues in terms of the wildlife, climate change, ice melting etc, that for a while, a lot of my pieces were polar-themed.” Sophie aims to forge a path for other wildlife artists and female artists in general “to be seen and be respected in the contemporary art world” - and to use their art in a positive way and be a spokesperson for issues they are passionate about. She is also the founder of online gallery, Art Basket, that supports and sells the artwork of independent artists like herself. “I was in my mid-twenties and although I loved working with kids, teaching is such a full-on profession and I didn’t have any time to do what I truly loved,” Sophiesaid. “My passions lay in creating art and making a difference in the natural world. When you don’t have any time for a creative outlet, or to do something you love, it forces you to make some tough life decisions. Letting go of a stable, reliable income to go and chase a ‘pipe dream’ at the time seemed terrifying, but it was the best decision I have ever made. “Animals and the natural world have always been close to my heart. As a young child, I was a selective mute, which meant that I couldn’t speak outside of the family home until the age of seven. I was very introverted and spent almost all of my time outside with nature and wildlife, or reading books about animals. It was never a choice to become a wildlife artist and conservationist, it came completely naturally. Animals don’t have a voice and are not responsible for any of the struggles that they face due to human encroachment, climate change, poaching, etc. It is a no-brainer for me, that as many people as possible should be trying to make a difference for the voiceless.” In 2021, Sophie was awarded the ‘medal of excellence’ from the Artists for Conservation Foundation (AFC) representing 500 of the world's leading nature and wildlife artists, for her outstanding work in the wildlife and conservation sphere. She was also selected to be one of 20 artists to exhibit at COP26. And she recently donated one of the pieces from her ‘Impermanence’ collection to Tusk and the African Community & Conservation Foundation (ACCF), where it sold at auction for a whopping $24,000. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), there are currently more than 40,000 species that are believed to be under threat. Sophie said: “‘Impermanence’ is both a collection of art and the foundations of a lifelong purpose. The collection will be funding vital conservation projects worldwide, as well as raising awareness for important conservation issues and inspiring others to make a difference. The name ‘Impermanence’ is open to interpretation, highlighting the philosophy of the impermanence of life, as well as the impermanence of many species and eco-systems on this planet. But there is also hope - in the impermanence of the world’s problems.” Admission to wildlife artist Sophie Green’s ‘Impermanence’ exhibition is free and runs 11am - 6pm from November 2 nd - 13 th at the OXO Tower Gallery located in London’s South Bank on Barge House Street, SE1 9PH.

MEXC lists CHANGE token for trading in the Innovation Zone

ChangeX

Global centralized exchange MEXC has listed the multi-chain CHANGE token for trading in its Innovation Zone. MEXC made the CHANGE/USDT trading pair available to its 10+ million user base at 12:00 UTC on Monday, October 31. On MEXC, CHANGE trades on the HydraChain blockchain. The MEXC listing comes in light of significant new features making their way to Changex - the CeDeFi project behind the token. The app now offers fiat-crypto purchases thanks to the integration of Ramp Network’s on-ramp technology, which enables an easy-to-use interface for bank transfer and debit/credit card crypto transactions. Changex has also enabled ERC20 token swaps, allowing users to acquire any token on the Ethereum network in the app via swapping. “ MEXC listing CHANGE is a great first step for the project in terms of CEX partnerships and serves as proof of Changex’s potential and integrity ”, said CEO Nick Iliev, commenting on the listing. “MEXC is one of the most well-known exchanges in the world and, being there, CHANGE will be exposed to a much wider user base, not to mention that users will have access to tools like margin and spot trading, as well as various payment options to acquire CHANGE. It’s going to make a huge difference in terms of accessibility and exposure. ” Mr. Iliev added. Before the MEXC listing, the options to buy CHANGE included in-app swaps via several trading pairs in the app, and trading on the UniSwap and HydraDEX decentralized exchanges. As Changex strives to offer an uncomplicated crypto and DeFi experience even to non-native crypto users, the MEXC listing presents another option to acquire CHANGE on easier terms. Changex’s recent integration of Ramp Network’s fiat-to-crypto interface also serves this purpose, simplifying how tokens can be acquired. With the added functionality of ERC20 token swaps in the app, users can now swap to any ERC20 token much more easily and without knowledge of DEX’s, by using a simple swap function instead. “ It’s what we strive to achieve in the long run. We want to provide all users with a simple interface into Web3’s vibrant ecosystem, and ease of access to assets is paramount, because not everyone knows what slippage, DEX or liquidity mining is. Yet we want to offer our DeFi services to any interested party. For this to happen, it has to be simplified to the core, i.e. an intricate and sophisticated backend with a very accessible interface where users can benefit from the best of DeFi, banking, and crypto. ” concludes Mr. Iliev. Next in line for the CeDeFi project is the launch of banking services in the app, which will offer users SEPA IBANs for easy fiat/crypto functionality and access to traditional banking in the non-custodial DeFi wallet. The first months of 2023 will also see the start of the issuance of the Changex crypto debit cards, which will enable mobile fiat and crypto spending in all places that accept card payments. About ChangeX ChangeX is a hybrid personal finance mobile app which fuses crypto, DeFi, and banking into a single package. Users can access multi-chain crypto and an array of DeFi investing tools, including first-ever Leveraged Staking, while benefiting from traditional fiat banking, thanks to personal IBANs and SEPA functionality. The ChangeX Crypto Debit Card completes the offering, allowing users to spend crypto and fiat anywhere, and thus experience true financial freedom. Follow the project on Twitter and Telegram for more information and regular updates. The Team ChangeX founders Nick Iliev and Gary Guerassimov have a rich history in developing successful crypto and fintech products, among them xChange.bg - Bulgaria’s leading crypto exchange. HydraChain and LockTrip co-founders Nikola Alexandrov and Hristo Tenchev are also on board, each bringing seven years of blockchain experience to the project. The project’s CTO Martin Kuvandzhiev is one of the core developers at Bitcoin Gold - a hard fork of the source Bitcoin code, which brought decentralization back to retail traders and made mining via common GPUs possible again. The Advisers ChangeX’s advisory board features industry experts from some of the biggest names in crypto, DeFi, and finance. SoftBank Vision Fund’s Neil Cunha-Gomes, whose crypto investments include Consensys and Elliptic, has been working alongside seasoned experts Dimiter Gurdjilov and Stefan Ivanov in outlining the company’s strategy and vision. Dimiter Gurdjilov has more than 15 years of investment banking, private equity and business development experience from Merrilll Lynch, JPMorgan, George Soros’ Bedminster Capital, NBGI Private Equity, and Challenger Capital Management. Stefan Ivanov has 25+ years of experience at Citibank, Banque Paribas, and Challenger Capital Management, and has also served as the CEO of Citibank in Bulgaria.

Digital Nomad Insurance

Digital Nomad World

Life as a digital nomad comes with a whole load of perks – travelling the world, meeting new people, and discovering new cities, all while earning money to fund your epic adventures. It’s no wonder that many people these days opt to ditch the desk and hit the road with a laptop and a dream to travel. But you’ve still got to make sure you take care of yourself while you’re out there living your best life, which can mean everything from your health to your finances. This sort of thing is easily covered by insurance, but when you’re a digital nomad, it gets a little trickier. After all, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill life choice. You’ll need something to cover you as you move from country to country, renewing it while you’re away, or securing insurance for the first time while you’re outside of your home country. Luckily, there are some great options for digital nomads’ insurance tailored specifically to your globetrotting lifestyle - and often very affordable. Best Digital Nomad Insurance for Health & Travel Safety Wing Passportcard Nomads Insured Nomads Over the past 2 years, Digital Nomad World has done the hard work and sourced the top insurance offerings for digital nomads right now. Digital nomads’ insurance has been difficult to navigate in the past. Often, conventional insurance companies won’t offer coverage when you’ve already left for a trip, meaning if you decide to extend your travels and your insurance coverage has run out, you’ll be left without a safety net. Luckily, seeing the gap in the market, a few great digital nomads’ insurance companies have popped up, founded by fellow travellers who know what it’s like to be left in the dark by confusing insurance offerings. These three companies know what they’re doing when it comes to covering world travellers, each of them offering something slightly different. Recommended Health & Travel Insurance for Digital Nomads 1. Safety Wing ( www.safetywing.com ) Possibly the most famous company for digital nomads’ insurance right now, Safety Wing is run by a team located across the globe (they’re digital nomads, too). This is made-to-measure insurance for world-travelling individuals underwritten by Lloyd’s, so you can rest assured knowing it’s legitimate. Their basic package covers medical and travel insurance. Respectively, that means you’ll be covered for a variety of accidents and illnesses while abroad, while the travel side of things covers unforeseen interruptions for your trip such as delays and lost luggage. Prices start from around $42 for four weeks. An added bonus is Safety Wing’s easy-to-use website. Plus, the website is pretty easy to use as well. 2. PassportCard ( www.passportcardnomads.com ) Part of the DavidShield Group, PassportCard is digital nomads’ insurance with a difference. Rather than paying out for things and then being reimbursed by your insurance company, PassportCard is instead - as the name suggests - a card. You don’t have to wait for reimbursement for medical or travel expenses: PassportCard, to all intents and purposes, foots the bill. This is especially handy if you don’t have enough cash, or credit, in the first place to pay for any unforeseen costs that are covered by insurance. It’s all well and good setting up digital nomads’ insurance, but when big costs arise, finding money to pay them before the insurance company pays out can be difficult. PassportCard is essentially a red-coloured Visa card that you can simply swipe, insert, or tap and the bill will be paid. The insurance costs start at $59 per month, and from there, come in a range of different flexible packages, with a whole lot of customisation and add-ons depending on what activities you’ll be doing on your trip. It’s a whole new world for digital nomads’ insurance. 3. Insured Nomads ( www.insurednomdas.com ) Insured Nomads was founded by nomads, for nomads. Specifically designed with digital nomads in mind, this insurance option is designed to make living and working on the road an absolute breeze. This up-and-coming insurance company is run by a team who are travellers and nomads themselves and know what sort of problems and hiccups can happen while you’re out there hopping from continent to continent. Their packages come in a whole host of different sizes, lengths and costs. Generally, they cover emergency medical care, emergency dental treatment and local ambulance costs, all the way to things like flight delays and lost luggage. Insured Nomads also cover car rental insurance and are even planning to add pet insurance for your world-exploring pets, too. Typical coverage with Insured Nomads costs around $96 per month. It’s not just for individuals either. Insured Nomads is for all sorts of digital nomads, meaning they have tailored packages for couples and even for families with children. The Digital Nomad World is a platform created by digital nomads for digital nomads. We strive to offer fellow DN's a platform that addresses every aspect of a DN's lifestyle.

See What’s Next For The Regenerative Medicine Field -- BioRestorative Intends to Lead The Pack In Stem Cell Therapies!

BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.

While stem cell therapy has always been a more controversial topic, as the general public has gained more knowledge on the practice and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have gained traction in place of human embryonic stem (hES) cells, the conversation has shifted more from the ethical concerns to the logistical concerns. Governments, medical facilities, and patients are concerned over the economical viability and clinical efficacy of regenerative medicine and stem cell research. Today, six of the seven leading causes of death in America are non-communicable diseases and regenerative medicine is a promising branch of science to lead the fight. A recent study conducted in 2021, highlighted the cost-effectiveness of regenerative medicine. Looking at a handful of stem cell therapies, the study showed that regenerative medicine is likely to be more impactful in cost-effectiveness compared to other conventional health technologies. The study also noted that for stem cell treatment of scoliosis, the level of cost-effectiveness was acceptable to policymakers and healthcare purchasers. It is also important to note that the best treatment for patients are ones that minimize pain while avoiding dangerous procedures like surgeries. As such, autologous cell therapy falls in this category because the treatment comes from the patient’s body, and the risks are significantly minimized. With the treatment risks minimized, the question of clinical efficacy still remains. How successful are stem cell therapies when compared to traditional treatments? Studies are showing promising results for stem cell therapies when it comes to obesity-related diseases and chronic back pain, among other non-communicable diseases. Current non-operative and surgical treatments for discongenic low back pain are leaving patients dissatisfied, whereas, stem cell regenerative therapy has shown strong results in restoring disc’s cellularity and decreasing inflammatory response in patients. With chronic low back pain impacting approximately 632 million people worldwide and as high as 68% of adults over the age of 60, finding a cure that minimizes risk and maximizes results would revolutionize treatment. Stem cells have also shown significant therapeutic potential in patients with diabetes, one of the most prevalent and deadly diseases globally. From stem cell therapies being able to regenerate into insulin-producing cells to therapies that can stimulate metabolism, the field is ripe with opportunities for patients. BioRestorative Is Making Advancements In Chronic Pain and Diabetes BioRestorative Therapies Inc. (NASDAQ: BRTX) (“BioRestorative”) is working on products that may be solutions in multibillion-dollar fields. Trials suggest that BRTX-100 may significantly reduce back pain and increase function in patients. There are over 60 million suffering from chronic back pain in the U.S. While the current product specifically treats disc degeneration, BioRestorative believes it shows signs of a broad range of applications within the entire musculoskeletal system (Hips, knees, shoulders and extremities). BioRestorative Therapies prides itself on doing things correctly. Its BRTX100 product for back pain goes far beyond the all-too-common clinical practice of harvesting cells and reintroducing them to the patient without proper modification. Instead, BioRestorative Therapies expands and cultures the cells using a proprietary hypoxic treatment, where a low-oxygen environment transitions the cells to express a more potent therapeutic benefit. They also combine these cells with the patient’s own platelet lysate which acts as a fertilizer to the cells and helps deliver a more survivable cell into the harsh environment of the disc. These cells not only have a greater survival rate but show increase in anti-inflammatory properties, increased circulation and enhancement of remodeling the extracellular matrix of the disc. It also only uses autologous cells for this treatment. Autologous cells come from the patient's own body and have little to no risk that the body will reject them, increasing probability of optimal results within the biological micro environment matching process BRTX’s Brown Fat Program, Thermostem, has highly promising results in the treatment of obesity and related metabolic diseases. Obesity affects over 40% of Americans, and BioRestorative is developing a novel stem-cell population — brown adipose tissue — that shows signs of stimulating metabolism and reducing excess fat. Close cooperation with the FDA is also important to BioRestorative, as the external oversight serves as a guarantor of product quality and efficacy. FDA approval also helps drive down the cost of these therapies for patients, as insurance companies are more willing to partially or fully cover the cost of FDA-approved medicines.

BioRestorative Therapies was founded by scientists and researchers committed to developing stem cell therapies to address unmet needs in patients with highly prevalent conditions.Our advances in stem cell biology and delivery protocols harbor great promise in conditioning our bodies’ own regenerative potential to treat major diseases more effectively than current interventions.Today, BioRestorative is actively developing programs that aim to dramatically increase quality of care for both (i) chronic back pain caused by disc degeneration, as well as (ii) metabolic disorders including obesity and diabetes.

BLUEPEAK OFFERS FREE AND LOW-COST INTERNET OPTIONS IN OKLAHOMA THROUGH AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM

Bluepeak

Today, Bluepeak announced its participation in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) in Oklahoma. Why it matters: Economic uncertainty is causing more challenges for households across the country. The ACP benefit – a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program – helps to lower the cost of broadband service for eligible households in need of affordable internet service. The $14 billion program provides a discount of $30 to $75 per month toward broadband service for eligible households. The big picture: Research shows that having access to high-speed internet is a challenge for many in the Sooner State. According to broadbandnow.com, Oklahoma ranks 46th in the nation based on internet coverage, speed and availability. Furthermore, a Kansas City Federal Reserve study estimated that 30 percent of Oklahomans have access to fewer than two wired internet providers. Yes, but: Bluepeak launched service in Oklahoma this year as part of an approximate $250 million investment to bring fiber-to-the-home broadband service to communities like Enid, Stillwater, Perry, Bartlesville, Tonkawa, Clinton, Elk City, Blackwell, Shawnee, Lawton and more. Bluepeak improves the options for residents in Oklahoma by providing fast, reliable, affordable internet to communities with limited, outdated options. Bluepeak’s ACP offering makes their solution even more affordable for those eligible. “The Affordable Connectivity Program is a natural fit with our expansion plans in Oklahoma,” said Rich Fish, CEO of Bluepeak. “We’re expanding our fiber-to-the-home internet service in Oklahoma because the communities here have waited too long for more, better options. Our customers have told us, Bluepeak has dramatically improved access wherever we’ve offered our service.” By the numbers: The ACP benefit can be applied to any of Bluepeak’s residential internet service tiers. A household that qualifies for the $75 discount would have access to the following options: 1 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) for free with the ACP benefit. 2 Gbps for free with ACP. 5 Gbps for $25 per month with ACP. A household is eligible if one member of the household meets at least one of the criteria below: For the $75/month discount – Service address is located on qualifying Tribal lands, AND household income is at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines; For the $30/month discount – Has an income that is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines; Participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or Lifeline; Is approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision; Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year. Eligible households can enroll in ACP through a participating broadband provider or by: 1. Going to AffordableConnectivity.gov to submit an online application or print a mail-in application. 2. Contacting a participating broadband provider – like Bluepeak – and selecting a plan. Additional information about the ACP is available at www.fcc.gov/ACP, or by calling 877-384-2575 between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. EST any day of the week.
