CUEN – Cuentas, Inc. Steps Up to Support 23 Million Households with New Programs Following Affordable Connectivity Program Termination
June 10 2024 - 7:26AM
Cuentas, Inc. (OTC: CUEN & CUENW) (“CUEN” or “the
Company”), a pioneer driving the seamless integration of fintech,
mobile telecommunications, and real estate for the unbanked and
underbanked Hispanic demographic, announces an update on its
partnership with World Mobile Group Ltd (World Mobile Token
WMT-USD) (“World Mobile”). This newly launched joint program offers
an immediate internet access alternative to 23 million households
in the United States, following the termination of the Affordable
Connectivity Program on June 1, 2024.
Cuentas is set to launch this initiative
leveraging World Mobile’s innovative platform
(airnode.worldmobile.io), deploying localized networks tailored to
specific customer needs. This seamless integration will provide
internet access, roaming services, and mobile solutions, with a
nationwide rollout expected as soon as July 2024.
The Affordable Connectivity Program, canceled by
the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) effective June 1,
2024, due to lack of additional funding from Congress, previously
enabled households to afford essential broadband for work, school,
healthcare, and more. The ACP benefit provided a discount of up to
$30 per month for internet service for eligible households and up
to $75 per month for those on qualifying Tribal lands.
Cuentas and World Mobile will promote this
alternative service through a network of 30,000 retail outlets
(“Bodegas”) across the United States, currently served by CUEN's
mobile and fintech offerings.
The Cuentas Mobile offering aims to deliver
significant social benefits:
- Education:
Enabling students from low-income families to access online
learning and complete assignments.
- Job Opportunities:
Facilitating access to job applications, remote work opportunities,
and skill development resources for low-income individuals.
- Healthcare Access:
Enhancing health outcomes for vulnerable populations through
telehealth services.
- Community
Engagement: Helping individuals stay connected with
community resources, news, and social networks, reducing social
isolation.
- Public Services:
Increasing access to government services, including applying for
benefits or accessing information.
"The termination of the Affordable Connectivity
Program creates an opportunity for alternative telecommunication
providers like Cuentas. Our partnership with World Mobile, a global
roaming technology provider, will deliver an affordable and
extensive solution to a potential market of 23 million households,"
said Mr. Arik Maimon, CEO and co-founder of CUEN. "Leveraging our
extensive distribution network, three decades of telecommunications
expertise, and our presence in underserved markets, we will enable
retail and business entities to offer Cuentas services and become
World Mobile AirNode Operators. This will immediately deliver
cost-effective, high-efficiency mobile data networks to diverse
communities across the US."
Cuentas continues to expand its market presence
with its robust mobile service, Cuentas Mobile, supported by a
powerful distribution ecosystem and a meticulously developed
software platform. Utilizing advanced eSIM and traditional SIM
technology, this system ensures reliability and will soon include a
secure communications suite from Sekur Private Data Ltd.
(OTC:SWISF) in a comprehensive service bundle.
