Comcast Expanding Network in Minnesota

Comcast Twin Cities

Comcast announces expansions of its smart, fast, reliable fiber-rich network to seven new cities in Minnesota by the end of 2024. The cities of Corcoran, Cologne, Nowthen, and parts of Grant, Hugo, Rogers and Stillwater Township will see 5x-10x faster upload speeds and smoother connections with the Xfinity Network. The 2024 planned expansion is part of the company’s nationwide rollout of multi-gig Internet speeds and adds to Comcast’s ongoing $473 million investment across Minnesota over the last three years. The new planned expansions fulfill a need for fast, reliable, secure broadband service across the state. In June 2023, Comcast completed an expansion to more than 2,300 homes and businesses in the City of Wayzata. Area businesses enjoy broadband speeds of up to 100 Gbps and speeds faster than 1 gigabit per second for residents over standard connections in the home. By the end of 2024 Comcast will also expand into Cologne and extend its network into Nowthen, Corcoran, and throughout parts of Rogers, Grant, Hugo and Stillwater Township with funding support from the State of Minnesota’s Border-to-Border Broadband program. “Access to reliable, high-speed broadband is a powerful driver of economic growth and development in our community,” said Corcoran Mayor Tom McKee. “Internet access is at the center of our modern lives and the quality of those lives will be greatly enhanced thanks to the partnership with Comcast, Hennepin County and the Minnesota Office of Broadband. Together we will be bringing broadband to nearly 500 unserved homes and businesses in Corcoran.” 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 that will enhance performance across Comcast’s existing networks. “The Internet has increasingly become the epicenter of our existence, influencing many aspects of our lives, and people and businesses are consuming more data,” said Kalyn Hove, Senior Vice President, Comcast Midwest Region. “We are building a future of unlimited possibilities in the Twin Cities and across the Midwest. These expansions, plus planned networks enhancements, will service nearly 14,000 additional homes.” Powered by Xfinity Comcast’s network and Internet experience are powering homes and businesses today and into the future: Ultimate Capacity: Xfinity customers connect more than 1 billion devices across the company’s network annually. 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: More than 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, including the Twin Cities, 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 business 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. The Xfinity Network is also self-monitoring and uses AI to detect potential problems before they arise, delivering a reliable connection that is up and running in customers’ homes 99% of the time.

HTX DAO

Singapore, February 3, 2024 - The HTX DAO 2024 and People's Exchange Launch Ceremony took place in Singapore on February 2. The event marked the beginning of the HTX exchange's journey on decentralization and signaled the People's Exchange as its core ethos. At the event, Justin Sun, a core supporter of HTX DAO and member of HTX's Global Advisory Board, delivered a keynote speech, unmasking the first People's Exchange in the cryptocurrency space and highlighting the need for decentralization. He also shared his vision for HTX DAO and the exchange, along with the HTX DAO Governance Committee, ecosystem participants, and media outlets. HTX DAO: Empowering the Community Justin Sun pointed out that only a decentralized governance model can prevent tragedies like FTX and Mt. Gox from happening again and ensure the long-term security of users' assets while raising the asset ceiling, under the continuous growth of the industry. Moreover, only through decentralization can the blockchain and exchange industries reach a trillion-dollar level of asset scale. HTX DAO will lead the industry's evolution and create a new paradigm for protecting user assets in the exchange industry. It is reported that HTX DAO was officially established on January 18, with the aim of being a leading decentralized autonomous organization in the blockchain ecosystem and focusing on open finance and tokenized economy.

The "T" signifies the TRON blockchain, the technological foundation driving the HTX DAO ecosystem forward. The "X" embodies change and potential that blend in a multitude of beliefs at the heart of HTX DAO's vision. The "X" also stands as a symbol of the broad spectrum of reputable entities that will form the bedrock of this DAO ecosystem. Sun stated that HTX aims to transform into a decentralized, democratic, and autonomous exchange, which will be achieved through HTX DAO. This unique approach will empower $HTX holders to vote on listings, raise questions, and participate in decision-making and governance, propelling HTX towards decentralization. Ultimately, they will become the true owners of the platform. HTX DAO Gives the HTX Exchange a Second Life During the ceremony, Sun expressed that HTX DAO has given the HTX exchange a new lease of life. With a decentralized governance approach leading the next decade of development, HTX can operate sustainably for generations to come. As per Sun, with the support of HTX DAO and the HTX token, HTX will retain its centralized operational structure while embracing decentralized governance, branding, and decision-making, showcasing vitality and competitiveness as a democratic community. Sun also highlighted HTX DAO's strengths in community decision-making, governance, and operations. It will establish the HTX Senate, igniting active debate and decision-making regarding the development of HTX. With the principle of "From the Community, For the Community," HTX is poised to be a true people-centric exchange. It is worth noting that besides HTX, HTX DAO has attracted more builders for its ecosystem, including projects and institutions such as Ankr, Spark Digital Capital, Double Peak Capital, Zebec, Merkle 3s Capital, TRON, BitTorrent, JustLend DAO, Poloniex, Sun.io, Spark, Stratified Capital, stUSDT, APENFT, etc. At the same time, as co-builders, HTX, TRON, BitTorrent, and APENFT will contribute funds to support HTX DAO's liquidity, jointly promoting the development of HTX DAO.

World’s largest radiology AI marketplace CARPL raises $6m to accelerate the adoption of AI in clinical workflows

CARPL

As people live longer and as emphasis on early detection of disease increases, there is a mounting burden on the healthcare services industry globally. This is being especially felt in radiology teams who are witnessing an acute shortage of radiologists. Currently, there are over 200 companies building applications using AI to automate parts of the radiologists’ work to bridge this talent gap. Today CARPL, an enterprise imaging AI marketplace platform, is announcing a $6m funding round to enable healthcare providers to access, assess and integrate these radiology AI applications into their clinical workflows through a single user-interface, single data channel and single procurement system. The seed funding round was led by Stellaris Venture Partners, a leading enterprise software investor, with participation from strategic angel investors* from Novo Holdings, Leapfrog PE, Bain & Co, Boston Consulting Group, UnitedHealth Group among others. CARPL will use the fresh funds to expand the team in North America and continue to build its tech stack. With more than 700 US-FDA approved AI applications, healthcare providers grapple with navigating the complex landscape of niche AI solutions. The daunting task involves determining the best AI solution for them and their patients, then seamlessly integrating it in the radiologists' workflows. This complexity has resulted in the sluggish pace of AI adoption in healthcare. A recent joint statement by the world’s top radiology associations also brings to light the importance of validation, deployment and monitoring of AI while being used in clinical practice. CARPL’s technology platform addresses this need using its proprietary DEV-D framework allowing healthcare providers to first Discover (D), Explore (E) and Validate (V) AI applications from CARPL’s AI marketplace, and subsequently Deploy (D) the most appropriate application across their clinical workflows. CARPL stands out as the only platform in the market with deep AI validation and monitoring capabilities, thereby ensuring safe and seamless AI deployment while upholding patient-centricity at its core. Additionally, CARPL’s universal AI viewer serves as a single user interface for radiologists, enabling them to accept, reject or refine AI outputs, which can subsequently be used to improve the performance of the AI itself. Operational since 2021, CARPL was founded by Vidur Mahajan, a physician with an MBA from the Wharton School of Business who has spent more than 12 years in the diagnostics industry. CARPL’s leadership comprises Dr Vasanth Venugopal as Chief Medical Officer, Rohit Takhar as CTO and most recently Dhruv Sahai as COO. CARPL has also ramped up its advisory team with the appointment of Dr Vijay Rao, SVP of Enterprise Imaging at Jefferson Health and a past-President of the Radiology Society of North America. “Over the past two years, we have onboarded more than 50 AI developers having 100+ AI applications, which made us the largest AI marketplace in terms of number of AI applications offered to customers. We are proud that some of the largest healthcare enterprises in the world have vetted our technology and trust us to be their partner in their AI and automation journeys.” said Dr Vidur Mahajan, CEO of CARPL. Drawing parallels with the lab medicine industry, Vidur Mahajan added: “We are democratizing radiology in the same way that automation and robotics revolutionized lab medicine, where a single pathologist signs out thousands of tests each day. We envision a future where CARPL creates ‘super-radiologists’ - AI-enabled radiologists who are ten times more productive than traditional radiologists.” Vidur Mahajan brings deep domain expertise having previously grown revenue 10x to $20m in 10 years at his family business Mahajan Imaging, a leading radiology service provider. He conceptualized CARPL under the guidance of his father Dr Harsh Mahajan, a pioneer in radiology, while working on validation and deployment of AI at Mahajan Imaging. CARPL comprises a multidisciplinary team with clinicians, scientists, engineers and business experts, all working towards the singular goal of driving exponential health outcomes using the encapsulated value of the entire AI ecosystem with the ultimate aim of ensuring access of quality diagnostics to patients. CARPL has more than 120 papers and conference presentations to its credit, and has coined some seminal concepts in clinical AI such as algorithmic audits, clinical explainability failure and unboxing AI. CARPL’s technology platform is used by the world’s top healthcare organizations like the Singapore Government, Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston), Radiology Partners (Los Angeles), University Hospitals (Cleveland), I-MED Radiology (Australia), Albert Einstein Hospital (São Paulo), Clinton Health Access Initiative, to name a few. CARPL is also creating impact in the public health space by working with the Government of India to enable large scale Tuberculosis Screening Programmes in the most remote regions of the country. As the global disease burden increases, owing to aging populations, early detection of disease and an increase in chronic/lifestyle diseases, the need for radiology services will increase, which increases the need for AI-assistance and automation in the delivery of these services. The global healthcare AI market is expected to cross $170 billion by 2029, of which almost $20 billion will be in the domain of radiology. Today, of the about 700 AI-based applications which are approved by the US-FDA, 80% are related to radiology. This number is expected to grow exponentially as access to training data and computation power becomes cheaper and easier to access. Alok Goyal, Partner at Stellaris Venture Partners commented: “The volume of imaging scans show a steady 9% year-on-year growth, outpacing the growth in the number of radiologists at a mere 1.8%. Bridging this demand gap is a crucial challenge for healthcare providers, and we believe AI will be the key. CARPL's integrated platform, designed for testing, deploying, and monitoring radiology AI applications, is poised to empower healthcare providers by seamlessly integrating AI into their clinical workflows. We are thrilled to join forces with Vidur and his team on this transformative journey.” As it becomes easier to build AI, the number and nature of AI applications used by doctors to deliver healthcare will increase exponentially. A platform approach that builds on connecting these AI developers to healthcare providers is the only way to exponentially improve the access, affordability and quality of care delivered today. CARPL is a new layer in the healthcare CIO’s stack that enables seamless access to the entire AI and analytics ecosystem through a single integrated platform. About CARPL CARPL is democratizing access to high quality healthcare by connecting AI applications and healthcare providers, exponentially improving the access, affordability and quality of medical care. CARPL enterprise imaging AI platform provides a single user-interface, data channel and procurement system for healthcare providers to access, assess, integrate and buy radiology AI applications in a safe and seamless manner. CARPL was incubated at Mahajan Imaging & Labs, India’s largest radiology service provider, as its technology division focused on building scalable clinical tools for AI validation, deployment and monitoring, under the guidance of Dr Harsh Mahajan, a pioneer in the field of radiology.
