Comcast Plans Major Network Expansion in Texas

Comcast Houston

Comcast announced today it will significantly expand its next-generation network, the Xfinity 10G Network, in a major way across several southeast Texas counties in 2023. The media and technology company said it will invest more than $100 million to install at least one thousand miles of new fiber-rich highways that will reach up to 80,000 homes and businesses by the end of this year. The planned expansions add to Comcast’s ongoing $2.8 billion investment in Texas over the last three years. Network expansion efforts will begin in Kingwood, Pinehurst, Prairie View, Waller, New Caney and Conroe. Construction will continue in other communities that have ongoing network infrastructure builds in the Houston area. Construction has started in Kingwood, which will be the largest expansion of the year; it is expected to be complete by the end of 2023 and will reach nearly 24,000 Kingwood homes and businesses. These locations will have the foundational next-generation network in place to begin deploying DOCSIS 4.0, setting the stage for the introduction of new symmetrical multi-gigabit Internet options. “We will bring our fiber-rich network to twice the number of homes and businesses this year compared to the number we passed last year,” said Ralph Martinez, Senior Regional Vice President of Comcast’s Texas Region. “Southeast Texas’ rural and suburban communities have been growing fast, and we are building out our next-generation Comcast network in tandem with the growth. We will continue to expand to even more rural communities in the next few years.” Once complete, Comcast, the nation’s largest provider of 1.2 Gigabit per second speeds, will give consumers access to reliable and fast Xfinity Internet and Xfinity Mobile service that outperforms its competitors. Comcast engineers have also developed multiple artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies that make the network faster and more reliable while delivering up to 100 Gbps for Comcast Business customers. In addition, Comcast’s next-generation technology provides multiple layers of security that automatically detect and block hundreds of thousands of cyber events every second, and a Smart Network that automates many core network functions and dramatically reduces the number of outages. “Access to reliable internet and telecommunications services is something that we cannot go without in our day-to-day activities,” said Houston Mayor Pro-Tem and Kingwood resident, Dave Martin. “Comcast and their new construction project in Kingwood is a perfect example of a business working to bridge the gap to connect more people to much-needed services while increasing accessibility to much-needed services and their dependability. I appreciate Comcast’s partnership and commitment to District E.” Comcast is also committed to addressing digital equity in communities we serve, 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. Last year, Comcast Texas invested more than one million dollars to help local community organizations provide personalized digital skills training, offer workforce development/readiness workshops and other tech education to students, adults, and people with disabilities. The funding also supports ongoing efforts to build awareness about connectivity programs like Internet Essentials and the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which offers eligible households up to $30/month credit, or up to $75 for households on tribal lands, for home Internet. Comcast proudly participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program, and offers Internet Essentials Plus, a $29.95/month home Internet service that is effectively free for eligible households, once the ACP credit is applied. Interested customers can visit Xfinity.com/ACP or call 1-800-Xfinity to learn more about this program and find out if they qualify.

Hammer Technology Holdings (OTC:HMMR) Releases Q1 Earnings: Here Are Key Details

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

A sector that is almost always going to be on the radar of many investors is the technology sector, and for good reason too, given the possibilities of making a strong return in the long term. These are companies that are always intent on making innovative products that can disrupt established markets or create markets of their own. A company that could be of interest at this point is Hammer Technology Holdings (OTCMKTS:HMMR), which is involved in making investments in the future of technology. The company decided to widen its business strategy so as to focus on the innovative technology space, which has been evolving at a remarkable pace. To that end, Hammer Technology Holdings restructured the company in a way so as to be in a position to accommodate a range of new verticals. One of the strategies of the company is known as the ‘Everything Wireless’ strategy, which is involved with providing fixed high-speed wireless service to small businesses and residences. However, that is not all. The company has also made a move into the rapidly growing financial technology space. Earlier on in the week on February 13, HMMR announced its financial results for the fiscal year that had ended on July 31, 2022, and also the first fiscal quarter that ended on October 31, 2022. In the fiscal year that ended on July 31, 2022 HMMR had managed to bring in revenues of as much as $2,602,115 and that reflected a year-on-year rise to the tune of as much as 18.32%. The healthy rise in revenues had been brought about by the strong performance which had been delivered by the company’s OTT or over-the-top business segment. The revenues generated in the first quarter ended on October 31, 2022, stood at $799,699 and that reflected a year-on-year rise of 27.27%. Hammer Technology Holdings recorded an operating loss of $547,225 in the fiscal year and that was primarily due to the expenses incurred for setting up the financial technology business. The acquisition of HammerPay (USA) Ltd had also been a factor in the same. In the quarter that ended on October 31, 2022, the company recorded an operating loss of $142,173 and the reason behind the loss was the same. "We continued to improve our operations in the telecommunications business segment as we develop a diversified portfolio," said Erik Levitt, Hammer's Principal Financial Officer and CEO of the telecommunications business segment. In this context, it should be pointed out that back on October 19, 2022 the company had come into the news cycle after it announced that it had inked a letter of intent with regards to the acquisition of Mobile Finance Group Ltd, which operates under the brand name Wallet Factory. Mobile Finance Group is a digital finance services provider and is also involved in the enterprise-grade e-wallet space. The acquisition could go a long way in helping Hammer Technology Holdings in executing its financial technology strategy. One of the solutions offered by Mobile Finance is the all-in-one wallet that can work on both B2B and B2C platforms.

International Star Inc (OTC:ILST) Completes Acquisition of Budding Equity: What Next?

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

Companies that come under new management can often turn into remarkable turnaround stories and hence, investors are often keen on those. This brings us to the subject of International Star Inc. (OTCMKTS:ILST), which had mainly been involved with mineral property interests. In June of 2022, ILST Holdco LLC had completed the acquisition of a controlling interest in the company, and the company came under new management. Under the control of the new management, International Star is seeking to create a thriving and financially strong business that could consistently create value for shareholders. The thrust of the strategy is to grow revenues internally and at the same time, work on acquisitions that are synergistic in nature. The acquisitions that International Star is generally interested in are sustainable businesses with free cash flow. As it happens, the company was in the news this month after it completed the acquisition of Budding Equity Inc. The announcement with regards to the completion of the acquisition was made by the company back on February 14, 2023. Budding Equity is a modern company that mainly works with celebrities and film studious to monetize their intellectual property. The monetization is done in the worldwide cannabis industry. This acquisition was also part of the company’s acquisition strategy that had been put in place. It had been reported back in August 2022 that the two companies had entered into an agreement. There is more to the deal that ought to be noted. As per the provisions of the agreement signed at the time, International Star provided funds to Budding Equity for its working capital needs related to boosting its inventory. Additionally, International Star had also been granted an option to complete the acquisition within 12 months. Up until now, the total loan drawdown from International Star to Budding Equity was $375,000 and that had led to the issuance of an equity stake of 7.5% in Budding Equity to International Star. Earlier on in the month, International Star decided to exercise the option to acquire the entirety of Budding Equity and issued a note to that effect to the company’s shareholders. Following the completion of the transaction, Budding Equity commanded a valuation of $1,700,000. That being said, the decision to exercise the option must not have come as a surprise to the company’s shareholders considering the fact that back on October 25 last year International Star had made an announcement to that effect. At the time, the company had announced that it was in the concluding stages of exercising the option to complete the purchase of 100% of the Budding Equity outstanding shares. International Star also announced that it had also issued a notice to the shareholders of Budding Equity with regard to its intentions to complete the acquisition. Another announcement made by the company at that same time was related to the election of Avi Minkowitz to the board of directors of International Star. He had been elected to the board back on October 20, 2022. Disclaimers: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides investors a safe harbor in regard to forward-looking statements.

Foothills Exploration (OTC:FTXP) Acquires Certain Leases and Wells In OKLAHOMA

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

Sekur Private Data Announces Its 2023 Budget Is Fully Covered With Existing Cash Flow

Sekur Private Data Ltd

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) is a US-listed cybersecurity and internet privacy company with roots in Switzerland that provides private and secure communications solutions. It uses its own servers and military-grade encryption security and combines them with its proprietary encryption and Swiss data privacy laws. The company is best known for its corporate products like SekurMail and SekurMessenger which offer users complete privacy. Capitalizing on the strict Swiss privacy laws, Sekur has built a brand that prides itself on state-of-the-art technology allowing for secure communication. The company has seen great success in Latin America and even recently announced its advancement into the privacy markets with its new VPN product, SekurVPN. Sekur also recently announced a partnership with Nobleus, an American all-encompassing e-commerce platform that offers customers tools and resources to run a successful online business. The agreement will allow Nobleus the rights to distribute and resell Sekur services and products to its client base. Nobleus is expected to provide these services to its clients in Q1 2023. This agreement will help position Sekur as an alternative security and privacy communications platform and allow online American businesses to become more independent from big-tech platforms. Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data said: "We are very pleased to have partnered with Nobleus. Nobleus is an innovative company and is progressing very nicely on all fronts in its e-commerce platform rollout. We believe partnering with Nobleus will provide substantial growth opportunities for Sekur to reach the consumer masses through their unique distribution model. Our prime directive is to provide private and secure communications for everyone.” Sekur Announces Its 2023 Finalized Budget In another exciting announcement, Sekur announces that it is entering 2023 with no debt and no need to raise cash to meet its 2023 budget obligations. As of the announcement, the company had approximately $3 million in cash and an established budget of $2,360,000 for 2023. The 2023 budget includes all of its expenses. The company reported a 50% decrease in the budget from 2022 for its marketing, hardware, and general and administrative needs. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y67PiL8Pcig" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> The company is looking at an increase in gross sales and is confident in its ability to succeed in these goals, largely due to the expansion of products launched at the end of 2022, as well as upcoming launches in 2023, like SekurVPN. Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data said: "We are pleased to announce that we have been able to cut close to 50% of our expenses for 2023, and still expect an increase in sales. Some of the assumptions are due to the new marketing plan we have and some of the sales increases are attributed to the B2B relationships we have signed and established in Latin America and the USA. There has been a lot of chatter, on some investment forums notably, about our need to raise funds in 2023, and we can now demonstrate with certitude that we have no need for new funding to meet the needs of the Company for the 2023 fiscal year. 2023 will increase focus on establishing more B2B relationships and on SMB marketing, as we continue to expand our direct-to-consumer base. As we are not connected to any Big Tech platform, we offer a truly independent, private and secure means of communications without any data mining, through our proprietary technology and our secure servers based in Switzerland. We look forward to continuing to offer true data privacy to all individuals and their businesses and protect their intellectual property, and their privacy, from data miners and malicious hackers."
