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.

The Money Service Lab announces the launch of its licenced service model for Issuers globally

BNP Paribas SA

The Money Service Lab (MSL) today announced the launch of its licencing model for entities wishing to become their own issuing processor for Visa, MasterCard, Discover and other card scheme networks. The move comes after the company successfully completed its MasterCard Europe certification, alongside Visa LAC and other ongoing certifications. Europe alone has circa 5,000 banks in situ and globally the number is closer to 40,000 whilst there are less than 50 processors operating at any scale. The European Central Bank estimated that there were over 72 billion card transactions processed in Europe in 2023. Lee Britton, Strategy Director at MSL said “When we founded the Money Service Lab in 2021 our vision was based on 2 factors; a huge increase in card-based transactions, whether physical or digital and a gap in the market for banks and issuers to become their own processor, instead of relying on the old incumbents. We set about creating a platform that could cater for three scenarios, the first being the old established ‘Managed Processing as a service’, where MSL would run the platform on behalf of our clients and do everything, from soup to nuts. The second scenario we envisaged was where MSL would still be the certified processor but our clients would run the platform on a day-to-day basis, configuring programmes, changes, fees, limits, spend control functions and multi-currency capabilities for example. But the third scenario we planned for and built, and the one that really interested us the most, was where we could licence or sell the platform to banks, credit card issuers, eMoney institutions, tech companies and integrators, where they would become the certified processor in their own right with access to the source code and ability to customise and change as they wished”. Mike Muscato, CTO for Money Service Lab, stated “What intrigued us at the beginning of the journey was ‘how do we empower more banks and issuers generally to take control of the card systems they rely on and enable them to launch portfolios on their own version of the platform’. We knew it would be a challenge and we had a lot of head-scratching moments in 2022 to figure out how to create multiple instances of the platform, almost at the drop of a hat and to maintain all the functionality available in our platform consistently through our licencing model, without compromising on our enormous processing power and ability to throttle and process circa 9000 Transactions Per Second (9000 TPS). Luckily, we had huge experience of this in our sister company, Muscato Corporation where we licence our switch, ENGIN© to many of the world’s largest processors, in Healthcare and Financial systems as examples. We estimate that around 15% of all financial transactions in the USA pass through ENGIN© through our licence customers, so it was a no-brainer for us at MSL to put ENGIN© at the heart of our platform” Mike Muscato went on to say “So as we perfected the MSL platform we took a leaf out of the Muscato Corporation playbook and took the same licencing approach, so if you are licencing the MSL platform you are getting also the best of the ENGIN© switch as well, tried and tested by some of the world’s largest financial processors. Conor Doyle, CEO of MSL, said ‘With card-based transactions increasing year-on-year at around 15% it is a clearly a fast-growing market, accelerating at a rapid pace. Our belief is that there are too few processors and globally there are just a handful present in every region, mostly managing legacy technical stacks. That gap in the market is where a company like MSL can make a difference. Multi-Currency processing is standard for us, alongside spend controls, fraud and risk monitoring and our pretty much unique ‘Compliance as a Service’ risk and AML system which provides the issuer or technology partner with everything needed to be able to control and report suspicious activity to their own regulator, as well as complementing their own internal systems. My belief, having been around processors since the early 2000’s, is that we have built something that we can grow globally but we can put the power back into the hands of the banks, credit card issuers and eMoney and Payment Institutions, so that they can process their own cards at a fraction of the cost they pay externally today. Combine that with the ability to move between any one of the three model (managed, hybrid or licenced) as well as the fact we are more than happy to sell the platform as an instance and pass over the source code, makes it, in my view, a pretty compelling proposition’.
