FreeCast Targets the Global Media Monetization Layer Above Telecom, Satellite and Broadband Connectivity

Nasdaq-listed streaming technology company positions PaaS model to help MNOs, MVNOs, ISPs, satellite, D2D/D2M, 5G and broadcast providers participate in the economics beyond connectivity

ORLANDO, Fla., August 25, 2026--FreeCast Inc. (NASDAQ: CAST), a next-generation streaming media Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) company, today outlined a global strategy centered on what it believes could become one of the telecommunications industry's significant emerging opportunities: helping connectivity providers participate in the media economy after the consumer connects.

Telecommunications companies have invested trillions of dollars building fiber, wireless networks, towers, spectrum and other infrastructure. Satellite broadband, 5G, fixed wireless, Direct-to-Device (D2D), Direct-to-Mobile (D2M), next-generation broadcasting and expanding fiber networks are now creating additional ways to connect consumers around the world.

FreeCast believes these technologies do not have to compete for the media layer. They can all monetize it.

Consumers spend an average approximately 2.78 hours each day viewing video, according to industry estimates. FreeCast sees those hours as an addressable media ecosystem encompassing streaming television, sports, subscriptions, advertising, premium programming, payments and other transactions.

"The networks have already done the extraordinarily difficult and expensive job of connecting the world," said William Mobley, CEO of FreeCast. "Our opportunity is not to replace those networks. It is to provide a media and transaction layer that can help them create more value from customer relationships they already have."

FreeCast's PaaS is designed to enable MNOs, MVNOs, ISPs, satellite operators, D2D/D2M providers, broadcasters and other organizations to offer branded media experiences without independently developing the full technology infrastructure traditionally required to aggregate, discover, manage and monetize streaming entertainment.

The model can bring together free ad-supported programming, FAST channels, AVOD, premium services, sports, movies, subscription management, advertising and transaction capabilities within a unified consumer experience. FreeCast also has commercial relationships spanning connectivity and premium television, including Starlink Business and various global content partner-related initiatives.

The global implications are significant to FreeCast's strategy.

Rather than requiring a completely different technology platform for each market, FreeCast's PaaS is designed as an underlying infrastructure that can be adapted for different providers, territories, programming, languages and commercial requirements. A telecommunications provider could retain its own brand and customer relationship while using FreeCast technology to help establish its own Media & Transaction Hub.
