News ReleaseCOMCAST COMPLETES MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR BROADBAND EXPANSION TO MORE THAN 2,300 HOMES & BUSINESSES IN WAYZATA, MN
Comcast Twin Cities
Comcast today announced the company completed its expansion to bring its smart, fast and reliable fiber-rich network to more than 2,300 homes and businesses in the City of Wayzata, including residential broadband speeds faster than 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) and business speeds up to 100 Gbps. The completion is part of Comcast’s ongoing expansion in the Midwest, where the company will invest more than $20.2 million to bring broadband into homes across the region. Before the end of 2024, Comcast will also expand into Cologne, and, with funding support from the State of Minnesota’s Border to Border Broadband program, Comcast will also extend its network into Rogers and Corcoran. "The City of Wayzata joins Comcast in celebrating the completion of this investment in our community. It will support workforce development, education and greater access to high-speed internet for our residents. It also improves our internet infrastructure in a way that is attractive to businesses interested in locating or expanding their operations here," said Mayor Johanna Mouton, City of Wayzata. “I am grateful for Comcast’s commitment to expanding broadband access to Wayzata.” Wayzata residents will have access to all Xfinity Internet service offerings with speeds faster than 1 Gig and advanced WiFi technology from powerful gateways capable of delivering reliable and consistent connections for real-time activities like gaming, live streaming, and video conferencing with ultra-low lag. Residents will also have access to Flex, a solution to help users search less and watch more with a voice-controlled 4K streaming TV box, putting everyone’s favorite streaming apps all in one place, the award-winning Xfinity X1 video platform, Xfinity Home, Comcast’s professionally installed home security solution, and Xfinity Mobile, a top ranked service in customer satisfaction that can save customers hundreds of dollars a year on their mobile bills. Residents can also take advantage of the company’s Internet Essentials program that provides low-cost, high-speed broadband for income-constrained households. Since its inception in 2011, the program has connected more than 416,000 Minnesotans. Comcast also participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides qualifying households with a $30 monthly credit toward internet and mobile services. “Reliable broadband services are essential for healthy communities. With expanded broadband access, our community members can tap into the resources they need to stay connected and engaged and help drive economic development,” said Becky Pierson, Wayzata Chamber President. For local businesses, Comcast Business offers a suite of connectivity, cybersecurity, managed solutions and Comcast Business Mobile products designed specifically for their employee’s needs. Powered by the nation’s largest Gig-speed broadband network, and backed by 24/7 customer support, Comcast Business is the nation’s largest cable and Internet provider to small and mid-size businesses and one of the leading providers to larger organizations in the Enterprise market. Comcast Business has been consistently recognized by industry analysts and associations as a leader and innovator, and one of the fastest growing providers of Ethernet services. “It is so nice to finally have Comcast Business in Wayzata! While I have been a Comcast customer for my home internet for 10+ years, and it is wonderful to finally have internet access for our business and office,” said Brittany Alexander, Office Manager, Business & Estate Advisers, Inc. “Comcast creates a ‘small town’ feel given our close-knit relationships with their team and we look forward to making this our internet provider for many years to come.” “Technology is a powerful driver of innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth, and we recognize our company plays an important role in connecting Wayzata residents and businesses to all the opportunities broadband offers,” said Kalyn Hove, Regional Senior Vice President, Comcast. “Completing this expansion in Wayzata is another example of our investment in the Twin Cities and our commitment to bringing more opportunities to communities around the area. In fact, in the last three years, Comcast has made $473 million in technology and infrastructure investments in Minnesota, including upgrades to our network.” Powered by the Xfinity 10G Network Comcast’s network and Internet experience are powering homes and businesses today and into the future: Ultimate Capacity: Xfinity customers connect nearly 1 billion devices across the company’s network annually. The Xfinity 10G Network with the next-generation Xfinity gateways 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, and symmetrical gig speeds are coming to the first homes this year. 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 Xfinity WiFi Boost Pod that extends coverage to hard-to-reach areas, with plans for an offering of increased support for in-home WiFi through a “boost guarantee” later this year. Most Reliable Connection: Comcast is scaling the nation’s largest and most reliable network – the Xfinity 10G Network – that passes 60 million homes and businesses and counting. The company plans to launch a new device that is “storm ready” with cellular and battery backup to help keep customers connected even when the power goes out. Ultra-Low Latency: The Xfinity 10G 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. To celebrate the expansion of Xfinity services to the City of Wayzata, on June 30-July 1 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, the Comcast team will be hosting an ‘Xfinity On Tour’ event at the Wayzata West Middle School West parking lot to provide residents the opportunity to learn more about Comcast services, answer questions, and take advantage of exclusive offers.

News ReleaseAmerican Businesses Want Secure Borders and a Modernized Immigration System to Help Address Worker Shortages
YourUpdateTV
A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/cyDh_POE9fg There might as well be a giant “Help Wanted!” sign over the United States. The economy has bounced back from the pandemic lows, but companies have been struggling to meet their workforce needs to keep up with the surge in demand for everything from household products to cars. At the same time, the crisis level situation on our southern border is not abating, as the U.S. Border Patrol has seen 133,000 more border crossings through April of this fiscal year than during the same period of time in last year’s record-shattering totals. The U.S. currently has approximately 10.1 million job openings, while there are 6 million people unemployed and looking for work. The worker shortfall has also emerged as a key factor driving persistent inflation and higher interest rates. Securing our borders and modernizing our immigration system can help us confront these challenges. Many people wonder given the seriousness of these issues and the polarization in Congress if any real progress can be achieved on border security and immigration reform? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce believes not only that it can be done, but that it must be done. The immigration challenges we face today didn’t arrive at our doorstep overnight; they’ve been around for decades and have only grown in size and severity due to many years of congressional inaction. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is leading the LIBERTY Campaign (Legal Immigration and Border Enforcement Reform This Year) with over 430 national, state, and local business associations. The campaign launched with a letter calling upon Congress to address the crisis at our border and the critical workforce shortage before the year’s end. Many experts believe that expanding legal immigration to the U.S. would help spawn economic output by driving much needed labor force growth at a time when America’s population growth is stagnating. A nationwide media tour was conducted on June 20 th featuring Neil Bradley from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, discussing why Congress cannot afford to wait any longer to secure our borders and modernize our broken immigration system. Topics that Neil Bradley from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce discussed included: How serious our border and legal immigration problems are. What the consequences will be if Congress foregoes fixing the problems on our borders and within our legal immigration system. How a modern, pro-growth immigration system will help address the chronic workforce issues plaguing many American employers today and other economic problems we’re suffering from. Why the Chamber launched the LIBERTY Campaign with over 430 other associations. Contact Details YourUpdateTV +1 212-736-2727 yourupdatetv@gmail.com

News ReleaseTribe WOD Founders Sue Factory 14 and Razor Group, Alleging Fraud and Breach of Contract
Tribe WOD
The founders of Tribe WOD, a prominent cross-training and fitness equipment manufacturer, have filed a lawsuit against brand aggregators Factory 14 and Razor Group, citing deceit, fraud, breach of contract, unfair and deceptive trade practices, and unjust enrichment, among other offenses. The lawsuit, filed in Massachusetts Superior Court, alleges that the defendants, Factory 14 and Razor Group, failed to fulfill promises made during the acquisition of Tribe WOD. Alleged breaches of the agreement include failure to make earn-out payments as well as failing to provide access to business records – all outlined in the acquisition contract. Originating from a humble Massachusetts garage, Tribe WOD founders Alexandre Vitet and Jared Bane built their company into a $2.5 million enterprise before selling it to Factory 14, which later resold it to Razor Group. Despite promises of global expansion, enhanced marketing, access to industry experts, and potential earn-out payments, the plaintiffs argue that the defendants neglected their commitments, substantially harming the company and disregarding U.S. laws and business practices. Tribe WOD, which launched in 2019, swiftly grew to over $2.5 million in sales in just a few months, establishing strong sales channels via Amazon, Shopify, and various online platforms. This success attracted several potential buyers, with Factory 14 standing out due to its promise of multiple payments tied to Tribe WOD's annual earnings through earn-outs. The lawsuit contends that shortly after the acquisition, Factory 14 sold the assets of Tribe WOD to Razor Group, bypassing an anti-assignment provision in the original agreement. It is alleged that Factory 14 knowingly withheld information regarding this potential transaction from the plaintiffs. According to the lawsuit, Vitet and Bane had doubled revenue year-over-year and had expected to, at a minimum, match that. The lawsuit states that based on the promises made during the courtship and due diligence phase, there were immediate red flags after signing the acquisition agreement, and the situation quickly spiraled downward. Moreover, the complaint asserts that both Factory 14 and Razor Group systematically dismantled Tribe WOD, dismissing in-house creative content specialists and neglecting basic operational necessities. According to the lawsuit, Factory 14 and Razor Group failed to comply with federal and state tax, wage, and import laws and otherwise mismanaged the business financially. The lawsuit also states that the defendants had no U.S. bank account or credit card and were unable to obtain either and thus were unable to pay any of the company’s bills. The lawsuit alleges that the failure to pay basic bills led to lost revenue and the ability to serve existing customers or expand to new markets. The plaintiffs claim that their consulting agreements were prematurely terminated and allege that income from Tribe WOD was siphoned off to other businesses. The lawsuit alleges that Factory 14 and Razor Group essentially turned a thriving brand built by the founders with a rabid customer following into an Amazon seller with no identity, and loaded with unnecessary fees. The lawsuit seeks compensatory and multiple damages and injunctive relief, compelling the defendants to provide accurate and complete financial data. Interestingly, Razor Group faces a similar lawsuit in Texas, as it is being sued by the founders of Kettlebell Kings in a case with similar allegations. On its website, Razor Group states that it is trusted by leading investors Blackrock, Victory Park Capital, and Fortress among others. The Tribe WOD lawsuit was filed in Massachusetts Superior Court by Garage Sweat, LLC f/k/a Tribe Wod, LLC, Jared Bane, and Alexandre Vitet against Factory 14 UK Acquisition IV, Ltd., Razor Group GMBH, and Razor Group USA, LLC. This case has been accepted into and will be litigated in the Business Litigation Session, a business-focused sub-department of the Massachusetts Superior Court sited in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts.

News ReleaseRegulatory Policies Like The Green Industrial Policy And The IRA Make ESG Compliance More Crucial Than Ever – Stay Ahead With FiscalNote’s (NYSE: NOTE) Equilibrium
Benzinga
By Jad Malaeb, Benzinga Industrial growth is acknowledged globally to be necessary for human progress, but the recent rise in greenhouse gas emissions, pollution and resource depletion has forced leaders to think deeply about the reward-risk trade-off. Products of this line of thinking include the Green Industrial Policy, which refers to a set of policies and strategies set by the United Nations Environment Programme that promotes sustainable and environmentally-friendly industrial development. It focuses on integrating environmental considerations into industrial activities, fostering the transition to a low-carbon economy and encouraging the adoption of clean and resource-efficient technologies. World leaders have adopted the Green Industrial Policy’s vision into region-specific protocols. The EU Green Deal, for example, is a comprehensive set of policies and initiatives proposed by the European Commission aimed at transforming Europe into the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Likewise, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), an American policy that was passed into law in 2022, grants investment and production tax credits for businesses and eligible persons who invest in renewable energy systems. The U.S. government has labeled the IRA the “most significant climate legislation in U.S. history.” Aware of the rising importance for businesses to adhere to the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework, FiscalNote (NYSE: NOTE) recently hosted a webinar discussing ESG global trends, the impact of the IRA and EU Green Deals on businesses and how these changes may affect specific industries and organizations. “I think an important, maybe, role that the industry needs to play more and more is explaining exactly a lot of the business models. I think in this conversation we’re mixing a lot of issues, and so for trying to explain how we’re going to get to clean technology, I think … we need to explain the intricacies,” said Thibaut L’Oryte, the Director of Public Affairs at AmCham EU. Since its acquisition of the SaaS product Equilibrium, FiscalNote has taken its ESG compliance services to unprecedented levels, helping businesses easily manage their ESG goals and activities. Winner of the Best SaaS Product for CSR or Sustainability award at the 2022 SaaS awards, Equilibrium is an artificial intelligence platform that helps organizations unify, manage and benchmark carbon, climate and ESG data management across their operations. Equilibrium is now part of a collection of ESG Solutions that FiscalNote offers customers. With Oxford Analytica, the FiscalNote Core Platform and the ESG & CSR Board, FiscalNote’s ESG compliance portfolio has any potential ESG solution a company could be looking for. Their portfolio covers global ESG research and analysis, ESG policy monitoring, a confidential vendor-free peer organization and Equilibrium’s unique ESG AI solution. Click here for more.
