GRAND HAVEN, Mich., Jan. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Access-Power & Co., Inc., (“ACCR or the Company”), a Grand Haven based diversified holding Company is pleased to announce we have incorporated and integrated all of our non-tangible assets to the balance sheet. “We have a value that needs to be injected into our balance sheets. We must be careful in the preparation of our financial statements. We are in our final stages of preparation for the submission of documents to OTC Markets,” commented Patrick J Jensen, the sold Director of ACCR. We must be precise and accurate in our submission of documents when we apply to the PINK CURRENT INFORMATION tier soon at OTC Markets.

Again, Patrick J Jensen has guaranteed all monthly expenses the Company for 2021.

“2021 will bring us a new beginning. Onto another topic, the Company recently received 3 requests in the last 24 hours, to buy out all of the Company shares,” Patrick J Jensen exclaimed. “I told all parties NO. They see our Company market capitalization rising and NOW want in….I am currently working with our consultant. We are so pleased with our consultant. How this all evolved was a gift from GOD. Our consultant already serves with other publicly traded companies, and he is AWESOME. My new partner advised he has an idea on a Company to merge into ACCR once we go PINK CURRENT INFORMATION.”

There is risk everywhere, however, our Director Patrick stated, “My Dear Shareholders deserve the BEST, and only deserve the very BEST! With a reverse merger to bring in a really big Company that generates income. We plan to audit the incoming private Company, and then integrate its equity into ACCR.” In all Patrick stated, “We only have substantially less than 90,000,000 in our direct FLOAT. This represents a market capitalization of about $500,000 based on current valuation levels.” Patrick owns 186,984,379 total shares of the Company, and will not dilute our Shareholders today, PERIOD.

CLONES BY DRONES and CLONES BY CARS are worth millions to our Director. These are 100% legal business models and inventions and they are incredible. However, our consultant will be very careful in the integration of our intangible assets. He advised that we need proper valuation integrated into the balance sheet. We seek a legal advisor.

Patrick our sole Director since March 2012 rejoiced, “A reverse merger or merger is my goal for 2021. We have a clean share structure. I plan to do this the right way. Use company equity in a very responsible way, a little at a time, whenever needed for our growth strategies. ACCR has strong management disciplinary skills to handle this. In the end, all of my dear Shareholders deserve this done the right way.”

LONDON, Jan. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — IPXO, formerly known as Heficed’s IP Address Platform, is now the world’s first accessible IP marketplace. Vincentas Grinius, co-founder and CEO of IPXO, explained, “It is our goal to provide a meaningful solution to help sustain the eco-system of the internet by reintroducing the sleeping inventory of IPv4 addresses into the open market. Additionally, this enables enterprises to capture a significant revenue stream from their unused IP addresses. In this scenario everyone wins as we collaborate to solve the IPv4 shortage until IPv6 is a viable solution for North America.”

IPv4 uses a 32-bit address, allowing for 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address, which provides an immensely higher number of unique address combinations. For some massive global organizations, transitioning from majority IPv4 to majority IPv6 is a great solution. However, it is not a great solution for everyone. Because less than 30% of all internet-connected networks promote IPv6 connectivity, organizations transitioning to IPv6 will have to run IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously which is both slow and expensive.

Some experts are recommending a shared addresses model where a public IPv4 address is assigned to cover several customers simultaneously. Each customer would have a different port range internally to ensure that there was no overlap. While a good idea conceptually, the technical execution is expensive to build and challenging to maintain. It will likely also lead to slowdowns and more moving parts that can fail.

Neither solution takes into account the millions of dormant IPv4 addresses. Grinius believes, “We don’t need added layers of complexity that will add cost and slowdown transfers of data. What we do need is a way to incentivize ISPs (and other businesses) who are sitting on tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of unassigned IPv4 addresses to bring those addresses to market for other organizations.” This is where IPXO was conceived. We needed a global platform where IPv4 addresses could be securely leased and monetized, and IPXO is that platform.”

About IPXO

IPXO, formerly known as Heficed’s IP Address Market, is an IP resource management platform, which enables to monetize unused IP addresses via lease. Reportedly having outgrown its current position as part of Heficed’s framework, it will continue to grow and improve as a separate business entity, with the full switch predicted at the beginning of 2021. IPXO will be equipped with advanced features such as reputation monitoring, delegated RPKI, WHOIS, Geo object management, BGP announcement control, and open API.
