For too long, rural areas have lacked adequate internet access. That's not right. So President Biden and Democrats invested in expanding internet access to every home in the country. I visited a Comporium crew laying internet fiber in Orangeburg to see how things are going.

@comporium Maybe you guys could have taken that $8 billion you spent for EV charging stations that never happened and put that into Starlink nationwide and it would’ve been done already!

@comporium Allowing criminal illegals to remain in the U.S. is not right. You voted to keep crime committing illegals in our country. Shame on Clyburn.

Tokenization will do for financial markets what the internet did for information. “Music went from records to 8-tracks to cassettes to streaming. Now, anybody in the world can access any song at any moment.” Ondo’s John Hoffman tells CNBC why the same transformation is coming to financial markets: “This technology will democratize access for anyone with internet access and a wallet.” Through tokenization, financial markets are becoming internet native, improving how they operate and expanding who they can serve.

Affordability remains the number one reason that people don’t have high speed internet access at home. We must close the digital divide by driving down costs so that everyone in this country can connect to affordable, cutting-edge internet.

Iranian Professor Mohammad Marandi tells SNEAKO that most Iranians STILL don’t have access to the global internet, and explains why having access can actually be a LIABILITY 👀😳 “Few people in Iran have access to the international internet. I have access due to my interaction with the media, but for any of us who have it, it’s a liability because we could be targeted. I do have a bounty on my head, so it’s not as if it benefits me to have this connection.”

STARLINK ISN'T A REPLACEMENT. IT'S A LIFELINE Sometimes people think Is Starlink just going to destroy all the terrestrial internet? It definitely will not But what it will do is Starlink will give access to the internet to people that either don't have access, or where their access is extremely expensive or very bad. So, this is a massive enabler for improving and enabling people in remote locations to learn anything - Elon Musk

Joe Biden tapped Kamala Harris to implement a $42 BILLION program to close the digital divide and bring high-speed internet to every home in America. Kamala hasn’t connected one new household to the internet, and about 257,000 homes and businesses in Georgia are still disconnected. Does Kamala really think she can run our entire country?

nthropic says that one of its Claude models mistakenly gained access to the open internet and read someone's personal information during a cybersecurity exercise in January, marking the fourth time its models have done so. The model was told it was operating in a simulation without internet access, but due to a mistake, the environment actually left internet access open. Anthropic said it believes these incidents would not have happened had the environments actually been isolated from the internet as intended, but cybersecurity experts remain concerned about models' potential to cause harm. Lauren Fichten reports.

$🚨🇺🇸STARLINK REVOLUTIONIZES RURAL INTERNET ACCESS During a fireside chat, SpaceX President & COO Gwynne Shotwell confirmed that Starlink can deliver high-speed broadband to rural and semi-rural U.S. areas at a fraction of the cost of fiber optic cable. “What's brilliant about this constellation concept is that it is very complementary with fiber. Like, currently the beam projection on the ground is about 22 kilometers. We'll keep shrinking that. And you could put a couple hundred users on a beam currently.” This innovation could transform internet access for millions of Americans. Source: Gwynne Shotwell, ALEX$

ELON: STARLINK WILL MOVE THE GDP OF COUNTRIES "Once you have access to the internet, you have access to all the world's information. But if you don't have access to the internet, or it's too expensive or low bandwidth, then you cannot access the MIT lessons. You can't access all the information, and you can't sell the goods and services that you produce. So, internet connectivity is certainly a candidate for one of the things that would do more to lift people out of poverty than anything else because they can now sell their goods and services, learn anything, and work better. Without connectivity, they cannot." Source: Milken Institute
