Comcast to Expand Fiber Broadband Services Across Northern California

Comcast California

Comcast announced it will expand its reliable, smart, high-speed, fiber broadband network in both residential and commercial neighborhoods in Northern California’s Marin and Sutter counties. By mid-2026 these expansion efforts will bring Comcast’s next-generation network to over 150 locations in Marin County and over 450 locations in Sutter County, both of which had previously been unserved. This broadband network expansion is made possible by a $14 million Federal Funding Account (FFA) Grant from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and private funding by Comcast. Comcast also recently announced it has received a $26 million FFA grant to expand its fiber-rich network in Tulare County, which will bring broadband services to nearly 6,200 unserved locations by early 2026. “At Comcast we understand that reliable, high-speed Internet has become a necessity to not only support those looking to participate in the ever-growing digital economy, but also to connect students, families and seniors to those moments that matter the most,” said David Tashjian, Regional Senior Vice President of Comcast California. “This continued investment of funds from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will allow us to expand into unserved communities throughout Marin and Sutter Counties, which will provide residents and businesses with a future of unlimited possibilities.” “This grant project will help level the playing field for a lot of families in Sutter County who have not previously had access to high-speed Internet,” said Mat Conant, Chair of the Sutter County Board of Supervisors. “This is really important for anyone doing any research for school or work, and for small business owners.” “There has always been an overwhelming demand to improve and expand our broadband services in Marin County,” said Eric Lucan of the Marin County Board of Supervisors. “That need is particularly important for our senior community, including my constituents within a mobile home community in Novato. I commend the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and Comcast on today’s announcement and I’m excited to see the lasting impacts these awards will have in connecting more residents to high-speed Internet and the economic opportunities they will create.” Comcast’s commitment to new communities goes beyond network expansion efforts, 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 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. Industry analysts and associations have consistently recognized Comcast Business as a leader and innovator, and one of the fastest-growing providers of Ethernet services.

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, 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.

Flash Transforms Parking at Denver International Airport

Flash

Flash, the leading end-to-end parking technology platform, announced today it has completed an overhaul of public and employee parking at Denver International Airport (DEN) through a contract the City and County of Denver awarded in August 2024. In just 22 days, Flash deployed its platform across the airport’s nine public and employee parking garages and lots, bringing a state-of-the-art parking experience to DEN’s 40,000 employees and the 77.8 million passengers they serve annually. "Flash’s commitment to DEN has been tremendous and we look forward to a bright future that provides innovative solutions to improve the customer experience," said Mark Nagel, Senior Vice President of Parking and Commercial Transportation, Denver International Airport. In its first few weeks of deployment, DEN reports improved traffic flow and reduced wait times for vehicles entering and exiting the airport’s parking facilities. DEN’s deployment of Flash’s platform spans 144 lanes and features 137 kiosks, 97 license plate recognition (LPR) lanes, and 49 automatic vehicle identification (AVI) lanes. With the new AVI lanes, employees can enter and exit automatically in seconds via vehicle-mounted passes that require no interaction with their phones or kiosks. “DEN is the sixth busiest airport in the world and sees millions of parking transactions each year, requiring the highest service level,” said Flash CEO Dan Sharplin. “Our technology breadth and industry-leading scale, plus our maniacal focus on the driver experience, made us confident we could support DEN’s traffic volumes and service levels while getting passengers and employees through parking transactions quickly, and it’s hugely gratifying to see it live.” DEN also benefits from the Flash platform’s design as an enhanced cloud-based parking solution. In the event of an internet, payment processor, network or cloud disruption, the platform maintains continuous operations and critical payment processing capabilities so the airport’s parking facilities stay up and running.

As we continue to grow, we are leading the world in the sport’s development.” Expanded Opportunities for Pros and Amateurs The APP Tour is meeting the increased demand for opportunities to play across all ages and skill levels by doubling competitions in 2025, highlighted by: 14 nationally televised APP Tour events – with increased prize purses – will include four APP Tour Majors, eight USA Pickleball “Golden Ticket” tournaments, the APP Women’s Open presented by The James and the APP U.S. Collegiate Championships More than 20 new APP Tour competitions serving tens of thousands of pickleball players at the pro and amateur level across the United States, including the return of the AARP Champions Cup and the APP Atlantic Cup More Nationally Televised Events The APP Tour also is expanding its industry-leading linear broadcast schedule to more than 55 hours in 2025. This includes 14 nationally televised APP Tour events, giving the nation’s top pickleball pros unprecedented visibility on a national stage.

Top U.S. Sportsbooks Lost Out on $160.7 Million in Handle Last NFL Season, According to Latest Report from Sports Odds Intelligence Firm Bettormetrics

Bettormetrics

Bettormetrics, a sports odds intelligence firm providing competitive sports odds data and insight to the sports betting industry, released their latest report on the 2023-2024 NFL season today. The analysis found four out of the five top sportsbooks in the U.S. potentially lost over $160.7 million of revenue last NFL season due to extended suspension times and poor pricing strategies. Bettormetrics’ analysis of last season’s NFL games found that BetMGM and Bet365 were suspended in-game and not taking live wagers on average 5-10% more each game than the market leaders. Suspension is when a sportsbook periodically shuts down betting lines in a sporting event to readjust the odds based on activity within the event, while uptime is the amount of time they are accepting live wagers during the game. DraftKings averaged 96.1% uptime last season, while Bet365 averaged only 85.5% uptime – leading to a potential loss of $4.6 million. With the American Gaming Association estimating that betting on the NFL will surge by 30% in 2024 to $35 billion, this means that over $220 million will potentially be lost by tier 1 operators over the coming season. “DraftKings is clearly the team to beat when it comes to NFL betting,” said Robert Urwin, Bettormetrics’ co-founder and CEO. “With the most amount of uptime during NFL games and least amount of time suspended in isolation compared to the other bookmakers, DraftKings has a grip on the most critical betting season in the U.S. FanDuel is close behind and could make up the distance with a few tweaks in their suspension and trading strategies.” Bettormetrics’ Trading Analytics Platform (TAP) aggregates trading performance data so bookmakers gain insight into the performance of their competitors and their own trading desk, and in turn make changes to increase revenues and profitability. “It’s staggering to see the difference in uptime and therefore potential lost revenue between four of the top sportsbooks leaders in the U.S.,” said Sabin Brooks, Bettormetrics’ Chief Revenue Officer. “Without the proper suspension strategy, it’s extremely difficult for BetMGM and Bet365 to begin to catch up to FanDuel and DraftKings. As we begin the 2024-2025 NFL season, there is a real opportunity to close some of the gap if those two bookmakers can optimize their uptime and trading performance.” Bettormetrics is an innovative company providing competitive sports odds intelligence and insight to the sports betting industry. Bettormetrics’s Trading Analytics Platform is a SAAS product supporting sportsbook trading desks with cutting edge insight and analysis on the entire event life cycle, helping sportsbooks, data suppliers and B2B platforms gain an edge on competitors and ensure no profits are left on the table.
