Closing the Digital Divide in the United States
AVEALTO and TPT Global, a US based publicly traded telecom and multimedia company, have entered into an MOU agreement, which we anticipate will lead to a business collaboration to serve these unserved regions using AVEALTO's transformative terrestrial wireless infrastructure technology. London, England, United Kingdom, April 28, 2025 -- Telecommunicatuions Satellites are too expensive to close the digital divide in remote unserved regions of the United States. AVEALTO and TPT GLOBAL have a plan. LONDON – APRIL 28, 2025 AVEALTO Limited, a UK-based company, was formed to design, build and operate a fleet of high-altitude Wireless Infrastructure Platform vehicles ('WIPS'), also often called High Altitude Platforms ('HAPS'), which are designed provide telecom and internet capacity in unserved and underserved regions in order to help close the digital divide worldwide. Most people consider the 'Digital Divide' a problem for less developed countries. The United State however has large regions that are served only via expensive and low quality telecom satellites and the majority of the people living in these regions do not have routine access to internet. The states of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and Colorado all have large regions with no terrestrial telecommunications links. In the Eastern part of the United States, large portions of West Virginia Kentucky and Tennessee also lack service. AVEALTO and TPT Global, a US based publicly traded telecom and multimedia company, have entered into an MOU agreement, which we anticipate will lead to a business collaboration to serve these unserved regions using AVEALTO's transformative terrestrial wireless infrastructure technology. ' TPT GLOBAL is an innovative company whose previous business activities give it a deep understanding of providing telecommunications services to remote and underserved regions. Walt Anderson – Managing Director, AVEALTO Limited In regions served only via telecommunication satellites, AVEALTO Wireless Infrastructure capacity is expected be as much as 75% lower in cost than LEO, MEO or GEO satellites and provide a higher quality of service (lower latency, higher availability and lower bit error rate). TPT GLOBAL will collaborate with AVEALTO to obtain the regulatory approvals needed for operation in the United States. This disruptive technology could fully close the Digital Divide in the United States. SOURCE: AVEALTO Ltd. For additional information contact: Thomas A.

Super Bowl 2025 coin toss rules, explained: How deferring works and more
Editor's note: This story was originally published in 2023 and has been updated. The coin toss seems like it should be the most simple part of a football game, right? Every NFL game starts with one of these. A team calls heads or tails, and that will decide who gets to receive the football on the opening kickoff of each half of the game. Sounds easy enough. But there's a lot more that goes into it. It's an essential part of how any game plays out. One wrong move from a team captain, and that squad could start slow or go into the half without the ball down a few scores. If an official mishears a player? It could throw everything off. It's happened before. Back in 2019 year, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott told referee Walt Anderson that the team would defer to the second half after winning the toss. But Anderson misheard him and said the Los Angeles Rams would get the ball in the first and second halves. It was eventually corrected and Prescott made sure to say 'DEFER' loud and clear a week later. But still, mistakes were made. So just to make sure we're clear now, here are the rules for the coin toss for Super Bowl LIX, per the NFL's rulebook: Not more than three minutes before the kickoff of the first half, the Referee, in the presence of both team's captains (limit of six per team, active, inactive or honorary) shall toss a coin at the center of the field. Prior to the Referee's toss, the call of 'heads' or 'tails' must be made by the captain of the visiting team, or by the captain designated by the Referee if there is no home team. Unless the winner of the toss defers his choice to the second half, he must choose one of two privileges, and the loser is given the other. The two privileges are: The opportunity to receive the kickoff, or to kick off; or The choice of goal his team will defend. If the coin does not turn over in the air or the toss is compromised in any way, the Referee shall toss it again. The captain's original call may not be changed. Penalty: For failure to comply: Loss of coin-toss option for both halves and overtime, and loss of 15 yards from the spot of the kickoff for the first half only. For the second half, the captain who lost the pregame toss is to have the first choice of the two privileges listed in (a) or (b), unless one of the teams lost its first and second half options, or unless the winner of the pregame toss deferred his choice to the second half, in which case he must choose (a) or (b) above. Immediately prior to the start of the second half, the captains of both teams must inform the Referee of their respective choices. A captain's first choice from any alternative privileges listed above is final and not subject to change. There you have it, folks.
