New Findings from Presentation Suggest August 13 Could Mark a Significant Shift in America's Satellite Infrastructure Landscape

Business Upturn5 days ago
Austin, TX, July 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Author and tech expert James Altucher has published a new account detailing what he believes may be the most important development in Elon Musk's career since the founding of SpaceX and Tesla.
The development centers on Musk's satellite internet initiative, Starlink—and the possibility of a sweeping announcement expected on August 13, 2025. While the details of such an announcement remain undisclosed, Altucher says key pieces of information are already hiding in plain sight.
What's So Special About August 13?
Altucher references August 13, 2025 repeatedly, calling it a 'pivot point.'
'After this date, the window could slam shut—and you may never have this same chance again,' he warns.
He adds: 'I believe this is the moment—when everything Elon's been building toward with Starlink finally goes public… at a level most people simply aren't prepared for'.
Why Starlink Holds a Unique Position in U.S. Infrastructure
'Starlink is not just a tech company,' Altucher writes. 'It's a private satellite grid that could one day serve as the backbone of the global internet. And right now, most Americans are completely unaware of what that means' .
James Altucher on the Implications
For Altucher, this isn't just about a company or a product—it's about momentum.
'This is about timing,' he says. 'Not timing the market—but understanding the moments when everything changes'.
He adds: 'You don't need to be a tech expert to see what's happening here. You just need to pay attention to the right things before everyone else does'.

Musk's satellites hit by global outage

Elon Musk's worldwide satellite-powered internet provider suffered a global outage — impacting thousands of Australians. Starlink confirmed the outage at around 6am AEST, with roughly 200,000 Australians using the network, particularly in regional and remote areas. 'Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution. We appreciate your patience, we'll share an update once this issue is resolved,' the company posted to X at 6.05am AEST. Two hours later, the issue was 'mostly' fixed. 'Starlink has now mostly recovered from the network outage, which lasted approximately 2.5 hours,' the company posted at 8.23am AEST. 'The outage was due to failure of key internal software services that operate the core network. 'We apologise for the temporary disruption in our service; we are deeply committed to providing a highly reliable network, and will fully root cause this issue and ensure it does not occur again.' Starlink keeps its country-by-country customer numbers a secret, but in March 2024 announced 200,000 Australian customers had signed up. More than 140,000 people have joined a Starlink Users Australia Facebook group, and customers are getting checkerboard coverage across the country at 10am AEST. People in regional Tasmania are reporting their service is back up, as are people in most regions of Queensland and NSW. However, people in Victoria's Gippsland region and Queensland's Whitsundays said they were offline. 'What would we all do if there was no internet in the world? With the Starlink global outage this morning it really makes you wonder,' a caravan blogger posted to the group. 'Would it change the way we live and work? Lucky its back on and we are connected with the universe again.'

US, Mexico reach agreement on reducing sewage flows across border and into San Diego

By Daniel Trotta (Reuters) -The United States and Mexico on Thursday reached an agreement aimed at finding a permanent solution to a decades-long sewage crisis, in which Mexican sewage has flowed into the Tijuana River and across the U.S. border, emptying into the Pacific Ocean near San Diego. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin and Mexican Environment Minister Alicia Barcena signed a memorandum of understanding in Mexico City, in which Mexico agreed to expedite the expenditure of $93 million worth of improvements to the Tijuana sewage system and commit to several projects to account for future population growth and maintenance. Some of the Mexican projects would now be completed four years ahead of schedule, the EPA said. The U.S. in turn committed to releasing funds that would complete the expansion of a sewage treatment plant by the end of August. The plant is on the U.S. side of the border but treats sewage pumped in from Mexico. "This is a huge win for millions of Americans and Mexicans who have been calling on us to end this decades-old crisis," Zeldin said in a statement. Though both countries have long cooperated on water and sewage issues, the Tijuana sewage crisis, exacerbated by rapid growth in the border city and an underfunding of infrastructure projects, has often been a sore point. The deal comes amid other cross-border tensions on matters including immigration, drug-trafficking and gun-running. "I want to emphasize that what we are really doing is trying to solve, once and for all, the problem of wastewater in the Tijuana River. And I believe we are also doing it jointly, with both countries making commitments," Barcena told a joint press conference with Zeldin. Millions of gallons of treated and untreated sewage from Tijuana's overburdened system makes its way daily into the Tijuana River and reaches the ocean in the San Diego suburb of Imperial Beach, which has posted "Keep out of Water" signs on its beach for much of the past four years, depriving surfers of waves and Imperial Beach of crucial summer tourism revenue. The International Boundary and Water Commission, a body governed by U.S.-Mexican treaty agreements, has measured up to 50 million gallons per day (2,200 liters per second) of sewage-contaminated water from the Tijuana River toward Imperial Beach. Around half was raw sewage with the remainder a mix of treated sewage, groundwater and potable water from Tijuana's leaky pipes, IBWC officials have said. The IBWC operates the sewage treatment plant north of the border, which will increase its capacity to 35 million gallons per day, up from 25 million gallons per day, the EPA said. Every extra gallon treated is a gallon kept out of the ocean. Barcena said Mexico also committed to doubling the capacity of the San Antonio de los Buenos sewage treatment plant, which was recently repaired after years of delay. Before the recent repairs, the plant 6 miles (10 km) south of the border had been spewing at least 23 million gallons of sewage per day (1,000 liters per second) into the Pacific Ocean, whose prevailing currents flow north much of the year, further fouling San Diego waters.

Starlink Restored After Hours-Long Outage Took Down Elon Musk's Satellite Internet Service

Photo illustration by Jonathan Raa/NurPhoto via Getty Images Starlink experienced an outage Thursday afternoon that went for 2.5 hours, taking down at least tens of thousands of people's satellite internet service. "Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution. We appreciate your patience, we'll share an update once this issue is resolved," Starlink posted on X at 1:05 p.m. PT/4:05 p.m. ET. While Starlink has yet to confirm that services are fully up and running again, Downdetectorshowed reports of issues down to just 1,600 as of 4:30 p.m PT after they spiked to around 60,000 at about 1 p.m. PT. (Disclosure: Downdetector is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) Starlink VP of engineering Michael Nicolls tweeted that the service was "mostly restored." Starlink, owned by Elon Musk, has changed the game in terms of internet accessibility in rural and other under-served areas lacking high-speed broadband infrastructure. It has 2 million US subscribers, and more than 6 million globally. Read more on what happened below.
