A new subscription tier called THC Plus TV will launch at $12 per month to cover the high costs of HD video streaming and bandwidth. The existing $8 audio-only tier will remain unchanged, ensuring current members are not forced into a price increase. This new tier functions as a custom streaming platform similar to Netflix or Hulu, designed to prevent "power users" from creating a financial deficit through high data consumption.
Telco Industry and DNA Microscope Technology
Cliff High recalls encountering 5G-like technology years ago in a genealogy laboratory while working for Washington State fisheries. The device functioned as a "DNA microscope" used to differentiate between hatchery-raised and wild salmon stock. He argues that the telecommunications industry is selling 5G to the public based on bandwidth benefits while hiding its more specialized applications.

Stan Deyo critiques modern solar physics for relying on historical patterns that may no longer apply to the Sun's current behavior. He notes that since 1992, new spectral bandwidths and abnormal solar flares have been detected. He warns that the intensity of solar emissions is a greater threat than the mere number of sunspots typically used to measure solar cycles.
