Gateway Fiber Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony Launches High-Speed Internet Service in Cottage Grove
Cottage Grove becomes the first St. Paul area community to receive Gateway Fiber's 100% fiber-optic internet service, marking a major expansion in the company's Minneapolis metro footprint. This milestone follows the City of Cottage Grove's Request for Proposal (RFP) process, in which Gateway Fiber was selected to design, construct, and deploy state-of-the-art fiber optic infrastructure throughout the community.
'Today's ribbon-cutting ceremony is more than just the launch of service,' said John Meyer, Chief Customer Officer at Gateway Fiber. 'It's a celebration of Cottage Grove's digital future. We're proud to invest in this community and provide fast, reliable internet that empowers families, businesses, and schools.'
The ceremony at Oakwood Park, which was hosted in collaboration with the Cottage Grove Area Chamber of Commerce, welcomed guests to learn about Gateway Fiber's offerings, connect with company representatives, and enjoy refreshments in the community setting. Attendees had the opportunity to discuss the benefits of fiber internet with the Gateway team and local ambassadors.
The expansion of Gateway's network will benefit residents and businesses with access to a new 100% fiber-optic network, delivering reliable, multi-gig symmetrical internet speeds far superior to cable, 5G, or telephone-based internet. Gateway Fiber's network offers symmetrical speeds up to 2 Gbps, enabling seamless remote work, online learning, streaming, and gaming.
Gateway Fiber provides simple, flat-rate, month-to-month pricing with no fees, installation charges, or surprise rate hikes. The company also provides whole-home Wi-Fi and outstanding customer service, with ratings nearly 70 points higher than the industry average.
Expanding services into Cottage Grove continues Gateway Fiber's commitment to investing in Minnesota by creating local jobs and supporting the local area, following recent launches in communities such as Shoreview, Plymouth, Blaine, Coon Rapids, Champlin, Brooklyn Park, and Maple Grove.

Dubai Launches Second Cycle of AI Accelerator to Transform Government Services
You're reading Entrepreneur Middle East, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Dubai has opened applications for the second edition of its "Future of AI in Government Services Accelerator," an initiative by the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI) aimed at driving innovation in public sector operations. The program, part of the city's Dubai Universal Blueprint for Artificial Intelligence, invites AI experts and companies worldwide to develop transformative solutions in partnership with more than 20 government entities. Applications will remain open until 28 August 2025. Selected participants will join an eight-week, fully sponsored residency in Dubai from 6 October to 28 November 2025. The residency offers mentorship from leading AI specialists, direct engagement with senior decision-makers, and the opportunity to pilot solutions in real-world government environments. A standout feature of the program is its equity-free model, allowing entrepreneurs to retain full ownership of their intellectual property. This approach, paired with comprehensive logistical support, is designed to remove barriers for global innovators and accelerate deployment of impactful technologies. The accelerator's inaugural cycle attracted 615 companies from 55 countries, generating 183 AI use cases. Of these, 75 projects have already been piloted, showcasing tangible progress in areas such as service personalization, operational efficiency, and accessibility. Organizers are prioritizing solutions in four categories: enhancing existing public services through personalization, creating new AI-driven offerings, improving internal government processes, and ensuring inclusivity for all segments of society. Saeed Al Falasi, Executive Director of the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence, said, "The Future of AI in Government Services Accelerator" program is designed to spark innovative uses of AI, helping government entities position Dubai among the world's top cities for delivering agile, AI-powered public services defined by speed, quality, and efficiency. Our goal is to create seamless, intelligent experiences that save time and effort while enhancing quality of life, all in service of making Dubai the happiest city in the world." The initiative forms part of a broader ecosystem of AI programs in Dubai, including the Dubai AI Academy, AI Week, and the AI Seal certification system. All are aligned with the emirate's D33 Agenda, which seeks to position Dubai as a leading global hub for advanced technology and innovation. By fostering collaboration between the public sector and AI innovators, Dubai aims to accelerate the integration of cutting-edge technologies into government services—setting a benchmark for efficiency, inclusivity, and citizen-centric design worldwide.

10 ways Trump's budget bill affects student loans and financial aid
When it comes to paying for college, the federal government is one of the main providers of financial aid and support. In fact, the National Center for Education Statistics reported that 87% of undergraduate students received some form of federal financial aid, including federal grants or federal student loans. The prevalence of federal financial aid is why the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) — President Trump's sweeping bill that he signed into law in July — is such an important piece of legislation. The OBBB made many changes to federal financial aid that will affect both new and existing students and student loan borrowers. The impact of the OBBB on current and incoming college students Most of the OBBB's changes will go into effect on or after July 1, 2026. Whether you're currently in college or will be enrolling next year, here's how the OBBB may affect you. 1. You can use Pell Grants for work training programs Pell Grants are a form of federal gift aid for low-income students. Previously, you could only use Pell Grants to pay for degree-granting programs, but the OBBB changed that requirement. Now, students can use Pell Grants to pay for qualifying work training or certificate programs too. 2. It changes the loan limits for part-time students The OBBB institutes new limits for part-time students. Going forward, the maximum a student can borrow will be reduced based on their enrollment status. However, how much it will be reduced and what maximums will apply have yet to be finalized. The Department of Education is developing these limits and will submit them for public comment later this year. 3. Graduate students are no longer eligible for PLUS Loans Currently, graduate and professional students can use both Direct Unsubsidized and Grad PLUS Loans to pay for their education. But, the OBBB ends the Grad PLUS Loan program, so they'll no longer be available as of July 1, 2026. Graduate students will still be able to borrow Direct Unsubsidized Loans after that time. 4. New borrowing limits apply to some federal loans One perk of Parent PLUS and Grad PLUS Loans was the ability to borrow up to 100% of the total cost of attendance. However, the OBBB set new annual and aggregate borrowing limits. For parents taking out Parent PLUS Loans to pay for a child's undergraduate education, the limit is $20,000 per year per student, with an aggregate maximum of $65,000. For graduate students, such as those studying for master's degrees, the maximum loan amount is $20,500 per year. An aggregate limit of $100,000 applies. For professional students, such as those studying for Juris Doctor (JD) and Doctor of Medicine (MD) degrees, the maximum loan amount is $50,000 per year. An aggregate limit of $200,000 applies. These new borrowing caps could leave some students with funding gaps, forcing them to seek alternative aid elsewhere. OBBB changes affecting student loan borrowers It's not just current or incoming college students that are affected by the OBBB; the bill also made changes that will affect the 43 million people who have outstanding federal student loans. 1. Most repayment plans end Currently, borrowers who cannot afford the payments under a 10-year standard repayment plan can choose from several income-driven repayment (IDR) plans, which set your payments at a percentage of your discretionary income for 20 or 25 years of repayment. After completing the required payments, any remaining amount could be forgiven. The OBBB ended these repayment plans, so existing borrowers will be transitioned out of these plans by July 1, 2028, and new borrowers won't have access to IDR plans at all. Borrowers with loans made before July 1, 2026, will still be eligible for an updated version of the Income-Based Repayment plan. 2. A new payment plan is available With the elimination of the existing IDR plans, borrowers will have just two options in the future: a standard repayment plan and the new Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP). The RAP extends the maximum repayment term to 30 years, and many borrowers will have a higher monthly payment under RAP than they would under the current IDR plans. 3. Parents will no longer qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness After July 1, 2026, parent borrowers will no longer be able to enroll in an existing IDR plan, and they won't be eligible for the new RAP. As a result, the only payment option is standard repayment. With a standard repayment plan, the loans are paid off in 10 years, so parents will no longer be able to take advantage of loan forgiveness under Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). 4. Borrowers won't be able to use certain deferments or forbearance programs The OBBB ends deferments related to unemployment or financial hardships, so borrowers who lose their jobs or cannot afford their payments will have fewer options for relief. 5. Loan rehabilitation is available twice Under the current loan system, federal student loan borrowers can only take advantage of loan rehabilitation — a process to bring their loans current — once. However, the OBBB allows borrowers to rehabilitate their loans twice, giving borrowers another chance to get their loans on track. 6. Tax breaks for permanent disability discharge are extended The OBBB extended the tax break that exempts student loans discharged through total and permanent disability discharge from federal income taxes. For borrowers who become disabled, this change provides relief from an unexpected tax bill. This embedded content is not available in your region. What to do if you currently have federal student loans If you applied for the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan, the OBBB officially ends that option. Interest has begun accruing on SAVE borrowers' loans, and borrowers are encouraged to enroll in a new payment plan. If you want to make progress toward loan forgiveness, you'll need to enroll in a new plan as soon as possible; you can apply for a new plan online at For PLUS Loan borrowers, consider consolidating your loans with a Direct Consolidation Loan so you can enroll in one of the current IDR plans. If you do so, you'll retain eligibility for alternative repayment plans and loan forgiveness. Otherwise, PLUS Loan will only have the standard repayment option. Contact your loan servicer to discuss any changes to your repayment plans and what options are available.
