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 /MarketersMEDIA/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.

Bob Knakal The Top Commercial Real Estate Broker in NYC Discusses Why New York’s 485x Housing Incentive Is Failing the City in a Recent Commercial Observer Update

Bob, Knakal, recognized as the Top Commercial Real Estate Broker in NYC, discusses the 485x Multi Family Tax Abatement Program with key facts detailing the affect on Housing in New York.

New York, NY, United States, April 28, 2025 — In a city gripped by an unprecedented housing crisis, leading commercial real estate broker Bob Knakal is calling out the 485x tax abatement program as a well-intentioned policy that has fundamentally missed the mark. Instead of jumpstarting multifamily development, 485x has stalled it—buried under layers of wage mandates, inefficiencies, and political compromise.

For more information, click the link https://www.bkrea.com/press/new-york-485x-multifamily-development-incentive-why-it-stinks

“New York’s housing crisis has one solution: more supply,” said Bob Knakal, Chairman of New York Investment Sales at JLL and co-founder of BKREA. “But instead of incentivizing that supply, 485x discourages it. The economics don’t work, and developers are walking away.”

Knakal points to a stark reality seen during the pandemic. As residents exited the city and vacancies soared, rents in Manhattan dropped by 30%. No policy, no subsidy, and no government program has ever replicated that kind of rent relief. “It was a pure function of supply. When more units were available, prices adjusted. That’s the market working exactly as it should,” he said.

The 485x program, intended as a replacement for the previously successful 421a tax abatement, has become a symbol of government overreach. It imposes prevailing wage requirements that can reach up to $72.45 per hour for certain projects, effectively making large-scale developments economically unfeasible. Developers, facing these constraints, are now intentionally building under 100 units to avoid excessive wage requirements. Every single one of the 23 applications submitted under 485x so far has been for 99 units or fewer.

The result is a sharp and alarming drop in development activity in the rental apartment sector. In Manhattan, south of 96th Street, buildable land sales for rental housing have plummeted from 1.6 million square feet to just 38,000 since 421a expired. According to Knakal, “That’s not a slowdown. That’s a near-complete collapse. Without real incentives, the private sector won’t build. And when that happens, everyone loses – developers, construction workers and, most importantly, tenants.”

Critics of tax abatements often refer to them as corporate giveaways, but Knakal counters that this view is shortsighted. “Without them, nothing gets built. This isn’t about handouts—it’s about aligning policy with economic reality. Developers aren’t going to lose money just to fill a political talking point. They’ll simply do something else.”

There is, however, one bright spot. The 467M tax incentive program, which supports the conversion of commercial buildings to residential use, is gaining traction. Unlike 485x, it offers developers a compelling tax incentive. It includes no taxes during construction and a 90% tax reduction for 35 years, making such conversions financially viable and helping to address the city’s desperate housing shortage.

With office vacancy rates high and residential vacancies at a dangerously low 1.4%, the opportunity for transformation is clear. But Bob Knakal warns that time is running out. “We need more housing, and we need it fast. If policymakers are serious about solving the crisis, they need to bring back real incentives that reflect the cost of building in New York.”

He adds, “We’ve done this before. We know what works. It’s time to stop pretending otherwise. Bring back smart, workable policies, and let the private sector do what it does best—build.”

Arlo Sinclair’s Art Turns Obsolete Tech into Cultural Mirror — Nostalgia, AI Anxiety and “Geek Luxury” Collide

Artist Arlo Sinclair turns obsolete tech into hyper‑real “geek‑luxury” paintings that pair 90s nostalgia with dry, British‑humoured critiques of AI hubris, privacy, corporate collapse and e‑waste.

London, UK, April 28, 2025 — Beloved by the new tech elite as much as by contemporary collectors, his work comforts with retro familiarity—then needles viewers to think twice about the digital age. 

Arlo Sinclair: Where Retro Tech Meets Art

London‑based painter and sculptor Arlo Sinclair is transforming the relics of early computing — floppy disks, games cartridges, old CRT monitors — into finely rendered artworks that laugh, sigh and sometimes snarl at the digital age. His hyper‑real paintings carry wry captions such as “Pac‑Man: Eat Your Pills & Run Away From Your Ghosts” and “Top Gun: Feeding Big‑Boy Egos Instead of the Poor,” fusing warm‑glow nostalgia with pointed social critique on opioid crisis and military spending.

A Journey from Tech Geek to Artist

Born in South Africa, Sinclair grew up in an economically strapped London household. A broken Commodore 64—patched up by his grandfather—became both refuge and runway: unable to buy games, nine‑year‑old Arlo taught himself to code them. “That machine was more than a computer; it was a doorway,” he recalls. “Now I paint the door—and scribble a joke on the handle.”

That origin story lives on in every canvas. Sinclair treats so‑called e‑waste as a cultural archive, spotlighting privacy anxieties, AI hubris and our growing mountain of discarded hardware. Series such as Too Big to Fail (Blockbuster, Kodak, Toys “Were” Us) skewer corporate overconfidence, while the Conspiracy Disks mock the internet’s wilder fantasies with CIA‑labelled “JFK” floppies and NASA “Fake Moon Landing” back‑ups.

What was once seen as “junk”—old computers, video game cartridges, and floppy disks—now serves as a symbol of personal and cultural memory. “I see these objects as relics of a past that defined so many of us,” says Sinclair. “Each item tells a story, not just of technology, but of culture, nostalgia, and a shift in how we view the digital age.”

Nostalgia with Teeth

A 2021 Psychology Today study observed a marked rise in nostalgia consumption, facilitating escape, during periods of social stress. Prices of vintage tech and re‑issue merchandise have recently surged. Sinclair rides that wave, but refuses to let viewers drift off. His paintings offer the comfort of a childhood loading screen, then force a reckoning with what happened next: data breaches, AI deep‑fakes, an ocean of plastic cartridges that will outlive their players by centuries.

For Sinclair, art is a tool for social commentary. “My work isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s a reflection on the digital age and its pervasive influence on our lives,” Sinclair explains.

A Growing Demand for Sinclair’s Work

Sinclair’s work has found an audience among some of the biggest names in tech. His collectors include senior engineers at leading tech companies, founders of Web 3.0 startups, and Fortune 500 executives. Many of these collectors see themselves in the objects Sinclair repurposes: once outsiders and geeks in the 1990s, now they are the driving forces behind the most influential companies in the world.

His paintings and sculptures have appeared in high-profile private collections and corporate offices, with pieces hanging in locations ranging from London to San Francisco and even Dubai. As a result, Sinclair’s art is becoming known as “geek luxury,” signaling a shift in the art world where tech culture and fine art intersect.

Upcoming Exhibitions and Projects

Sinclair’s work continues to resonate with collectors and art enthusiasts. Recent exhibitions include Woolff Gallery in London in 2025, and group shows at Trimper Gallery in Greenwich, Connecticut, and Fitzrovia Gallery in London. His work will also appear in a forthcoming BBC drama series, further cementing his place in the cultural zeitgeist.

Sinclair’s upcoming projects include a hand-painted real floppy disk series, various partnerships and exhibitions with galleries around the world, and continued limited-edition print drops that have sold out in record time.

About Arlo Sinclair

Arlo Sinclair (b. 1980, South Africa) is a self-taught contemporary artist based in London. Specializing in mixed-media paintings and sculptures, Sinclair uses obsolete technology—such as floppy disks, game cartridges, and abandoned computers—as the basis for his work. His art explores themes of nostalgia, digital culture, AI ethics, and e-waste, blending humor with deeper social commentary. Sinclair’s work has been featured in galleries and private collections around the world, with a growing following among the global tech elite. He is represented by Trimper Gallery (USA), Signature Fine Art (Miami), Woolff Gallery (London), and AITY Gallery (South Africa).

Pitchfy.ai Announces Official Launch, Introducing AI-Powered Platform for Creative Professionals

Pitchfy.ai announces its official launch, offering an AI-driven platform that streamlines pitch creation for creatives in film, design, and marketing.

United States, April 28, 2025Pitchfy.ai Announces Official Launch, Introducing AI-Powered Platform for Creative Professionals

Pitchfy.ai has announced the public launch of its AI-powered pitch platform, marking a major step forward in how creative professionals develop and present their ideas. Purpose-built for the visual industries, Pitchfy.ai offers a suite of smart tools that simplify the process of building cinematic treatments, brand decks, portfolios, and client presentations—helping users shape their concepts faster and with industry-ready polish.

Developed by a team of creatives with firsthand experience in pitching to agencies, studios, and clients, Pitchfy.ai replaces generic slide templates with dynamic layouts tailored to the visual storytelling needs of directors, photographers, designers, and marketers. The platform features a proprietary layout engine trained on professional creative decks and a concept generator that helps spark direction for early-stage ideas. The official launch follows the completion of its minimum viable product and a $160,000 fundraising round, setting the stage for wide adoption across the creative and startup communities.

Pitchfy.ai will be going live with its Pre-Launch in June, offering early access to a select group of users.

Designed by Creatives, for Creatives

Pitchfy.ai is the result of a shared frustration among creators—struggling to translate bold ideas into compelling visuals using tools not made for their craft. Founder and CEO Ebony West, a creative professional with years of industry experience, said the idea came from the need for a smarter way to pitch.

“We’ve all spent late nights wrestling with slides that didn’t reflect the quality of our vision,” said West. “Pitchfy was built from the ground up to solve that problem—not just to make it faster, but to make the end result feel like it came from the mind of a visual storyteller.”

Unlike business-focused presentation platforms, Pitchfy.ai approaches pitch design from a creative-first perspective. It recognizes the unique structure and visual flow of presentations in film, TV, design, and marketing industries and helps creators communicate ideas with greater clarity and emotional resonance.

AI-Driven Concept and Layout Generation

A central feature of Pitchfy.ai is its concept generator, which allows users to type in a few words about their project and receive three fully developed creative directions within seconds. These options are designed to help users move from early ideation into visual development without hitting creative blocks.

Once a concept is selected, the layout engine builds an entire presentation around it. Trained on high-performing decks from the creative industries, this engine automates structure, composition, and visual flow, enabling users to produce high-quality decks that reflect the tone and goals of their work.

The platform supports a wide range of pitch types, including:

  • Film and TV treatments
  • Brand identity presentations
  • Photography and design portfolios
  • Moodboards and creative briefs
  • Startup investor decks
  • Agency and marketing proposals

Whether a user is presenting a brand campaign or pitching a film, the experience is optimized to feel bespoke, professional, and cohesive.

Strategic Collaboration with Valere.io

Pitchfy.ai was developed in collaboration with Valere.io, a respected and award-winning AI/ML product company known for building design-forward software tools. The partnership has been instrumental in refining the technical infrastructure and creative intelligence of the platform.

Valere.io brings deep expertise in product innovation, machine learning, and scalable design systems. Their contributions have helped elevate Pitchfy.ai from a simple pitch builder into a smart creative assistant capable of understanding narrative structure, visual hierarchy, and branding context.

“Valere understood our ambition from day one,” said West. “They’ve helped us create something that goes beyond aesthetics. This is about enabling the next generation of creative work to happen faster, smarter, and with greater visual impact.”

Recognition and Industry Momentum

As Pitchfy.ai moves into its public phase, it is already gaining attention from leading creative professionals and early adopters in media, tech, and marketing. The platform has attracted interest from top filmmakers, agency founders, and visual designers looking to streamline their workflow without sacrificing quality.

In recognition of its design innovation and category leadership, Pitchfy.ai is actively being submitted for several prestigious awards including:

  • Best AI Tool for Creatives – The Webby Awards
  • Top Startup in Creative Tech – Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies
  • Product of the Year – Product Hunt Golden Kitty Awards

In addition, Pitchfy.ai has recently been awarded Best AI Tool for Creatives in the U.S. of 2025 by Best of Best Review. The award recognizes Pitchfy.ai for its innovative AI-powered platform that is redefining the creative pitching process. This recognition comes after a rigorous review process evaluating innovation, usability, design, market relevance, user satisfaction, and overall impact on the creative industry.

According to the review panel, Pitchfy.ai stood out due to its AI-powered concept generator, intelligent layout engine, and purpose-built tools that cater specifically to the needs of visual creators. The platform’s ability to simplify the pitch creation process while maintaining a high standard of design and storytelling was a key factor in its top ranking.

Serving the Needs of a Visual Generation

The creative economy continues to expand across digital, entertainment, and experiential industries. With the demand for branded storytelling, original content, and high-stakes pitches at an all-time high, tools like Pitchfy.ai are emerging as essential infrastructure.

The platform allows both established professionals and emerging creators to move through the pitch process quickly, while maintaining a strong focus on design, voice, and professionalism. Its flexibility supports collaboration across teams and disciplines, while its automation reduces time spent on formatting and structuring presentations. Rather than replacing creativity, Pitchfy.ai aims to remove technical roadblocks so users can focus on refining their narrative, tone, and vision.

Looking Ahead: Expansion and Feature Development

With its public launch complete, Pitchfy.ai is planning a series of feature updates to enhance its offering. These include real-time collaboration tools, new layout themes, multimedia support, and integrations with popular design platforms. The company is also preparing for its next stage of growth through partnerships with creative agencies, production studios, and educational institutions. By embedding the tool within professional and learning environments, Pitchfy.ai hopes to equip more creatives with the tools they need to compete at the highest level.

“Our vision is to build the most trusted creative pitch platform in the world,” said West. “We’re excited to continue evolving the product alongside the people who inspire it—working creatives who deserve better tools to share their ideas.”

About Pitchfy.ai

Pitchfy.ai is an AI-powered platform that helps creative professionals quickly develop high-quality pitch decks, treatments, and visual presentations. With tools like an AI concept generator and layout engine, the platform is purpose-built for filmmakers, designers, marketers, and content creators looking to bring their ideas to life with clarity and style. Created in partnership with Valere.io, Pitchfy.ai is redefining how ideas are pitched in the creative industry.

The Roadie Revolution: This Is DeLaCruz Wins Best Music Storytelling Platform in the U.S. of 2025

This Is DeLaCruz, the multimedia platform dedicated to the often-unsung heroes behind live music tours, is honored with the Best Music Storytelling Platform award at the 2025 Evergreen Awards.

United States, April 28, 2025Celebrating the Unsung Heroes of Live Music

The live music industry is known for its high-energy performances, dazzling lights, and unforgettable sounds, but behind each successful show are the crew members who make it all possible. Nick DeLaCruz’s multimedia platform, This Is DeLaCruz, has long celebrated the unsung heroes of the music world—those who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure every show runs smoothly. Now, the platform is receiving the recognition it deserves, being named the Best Music Storytelling Platform in the U.S. of 2025 by the prestigious Evergreen Awards.

This honor comes as no surprise to those familiar with the platform’s deep and authentic storytelling, which has reshaped the narrative of the live music industry. This Is DeLaCruz gives a voice to the technicians, audio engineers, lighting directors, and other key professionals who are typically invisible to audiences but whose contributions are essential to every concert. Through documentaries, mini-series, podcasts, and social media content, DeLaCruz’s platform has created a cross-media space that honors their stories—stories often filled with grit, perseverance, and raw, personal experiences.

A Vision Turned Reality

This Is DeLaCruz began as an idea born from Nick DeLaCruz’s own experiences as a touring audio engineer. Having spent years behind the scenes with some of the biggest names in music, including Madonna, Pantera, and Chris Stapleton, DeLaCruz saw firsthand how the hard work of crew members went largely unnoticed. Determined to change this, he set out to create a platform that would not only highlight the technical and logistical aspects of live shows but also explore the emotional toll of life on the road. His vision has since come to fruition, as the platform has become a go-to resource for industry professionals and fans alike, with content that addresses everything from mental health and resilience to addiction and recovery.

Award-Winning Storytelling: Authentic and Real

What sets This Is DeLaCruz apart from other storytelling platforms is its authenticity and vulnerability. DeLaCruz’s firsthand experience as a touring professional brings a level of trust and openness to each interview. Rather than focusing solely on the technical aspects of the job, the platform dives deep into the personal stories of the crew members who are so integral to a live performance. These candid interviews cover topics such as burnout, mental health, and the emotional toll of working in a high-pressure, often chaotic environment. By allowing crew members to share their unfiltered experiences, This Is DeLaCruz is offering an honest portrayal of the sacrifices and challenges that come with life on the road.

The award from the Evergreen Awards is a testament to the profound impact This Is DeLaCruz has had on reshaping the narrative of the live music industry. The platform’s focus on the human side of touring has resonated with many in the industry, earning it a loyal following of aspiring professionals, seasoned veterans, and music fans eager to understand the unsung side of live music.

Bridging the Gap: Artist and Crew Connection

Another defining aspect of This Is DeLaCruz is its ability to bridge the gap between artists and their crew. Many platforms focus solely on the performers who take center stage, but DeLaCruz’s platform highlights the intricate, often overlooked collaboration that goes into creating a live concert. By spotlighting the crew members who work tirelessly behind the scenes, This Is DeLaCruz provides a 360-degree view of the music industry—helping both artists and fans gain a deeper understanding of the hard work and dedication required to bring a show to life.

This distinction not only serves to elevate the crew but also fosters a greater sense of connection and respect between performers and the people who support them. It’s a platform where the artist’s success is equally celebrated alongside the crew’s contributions, creating a more inclusive and collaborative environment within the industry.

A Platform for Change

Beyond its focus on technical skills and production, This Is DeLaCruz has also become a vital resource for addressing pressing issues within the live music industry. Topics like mental health, addiction, and the toll that touring takes on physical and emotional well-being are regularly explored in the platform’s content. By creating a safe space for these conversations, DeLaCruz is helping to reshape the culture of live music, encouraging industry professionals to be open about their struggles and to seek support when needed.

This commitment to transparency, vulnerability, and community has made This Is DeLaCruz an invaluable platform for fostering understanding and connection in an often isolating and high-pressure industry.

The Evergreen Awards: Recognizing Excellence

The Best Music Storytelling Platform award from the Evergreen Awards is a significant achievement for DeLaCruz and his team. The honor is a reflection of their dedication to telling meaningful, authentic stories that highlight the heart of the live music industry. In a field where so much attention is focused on the performers themselves, This Is DeLaCruz has carved out a unique space for the crew members who are just as integral to the live music experience.

As This Is DeLaCruz continues to grow, it is clear that the platform’s impact on the music industry will only deepen. With its focus on raw, real stories and its commitment to highlighting the unsung heroes of live music, the platform has become a leader in music storytelling and an advocate for change within the industry.

About This Is DeLaCruz

This Is DeLaCruz is a multimedia platform founded by former touring audio engineer Nick DeLaCruz. The platform aims to highlight the behind-the-scenes professionals who make live music performances possible, offering an authentic, unfiltered look into the lives of the crew, techs, and production teams. Through documentaries, mini-series, podcasts, and social media content, This Is DeLaCruz amplifies the voices of these unsung heroes, celebrating their contributions to the music industry and fostering a deeper understanding of the touring experience.

Chai Unveils Agentic AI Voice Agent Demo—Advancing the New Era of Autonomous Business Operations

United States, April 28, 2025Chai (at heychai.ai), a leading AI innovation company, has launched the first public demo of its Agentic AI-powered Voice Agent. The demo showcases how AI can seamlessly embed itself into day-to-day operations, handling real conversations, making business decisions, and executing them autonomously.

Unlike traditional voice bots or scripted call systems, Chai’s Voice Agent demonstrates the next leap in automation: one where AI doesn’t just respond—it reasons, adapts, and acts within complex business workflows.

“In most companies, AI is still locked behind dashboards and reports,” said Roger Rohatgi, Chief AI Officer at Chai. “We believe the real power of AI lies in putting it to work—not as a tool, but as an autonomous collaborator. This Voice Agent is proof of that vision in motion.”


In this 5-minute video above, the agent is seen answering a live call, identifying the caller’s intent, troubleshooting an issue, checking account status, suggesting solutions and options, negotiating pricing, offering a discount, getting approval from a human manager, scheduling an appointment, updating backend systems, sending follow-up information, and even transferring the call—all without human involvement. The solution was developed to reduce operational bottlenecks, improve service response times, and empower teams to focus on strategic work instead of routine calls.

The Voice Agent leverages Chai’s proprietary Agentic AI framework, which focuses on building AI agents that can observe, decide, and act across enterprise systems. The company is launching this capability with enterprise clients in logistics, field services, and customer support—demonstrating measurable improvements in productivity, customer satisfaction, and cost savings.

About Chai

Chai is an innovation and AI company helping enterprise teams embed Agentic AI into their operations. With more than 17 years of experience in design, software, and automation, Chai’s mission is to create human-centered AI that enhances business capabilities and amplifies human potential.
