Los baches son la auditoría pública de las calles. La reparación es el recibo de nuestros impuestos… y si falla la primera vez, es doble tributación

[Bernie Navarro @BernieNavarro7]

¡Gracias, alcalde @Renzo_Reggiardo, por esta valiosa alianza con la @MuniLima! Unidos por un propósito común, seguiremos fortaleciendo la cooperación para impulsar iniciativas que mejoren la calles, la seguridad y la calidad de vida de nuestros hermanos peruanos. @EZSTREETASPHALT

Overnight repairs with traffic still moving in adjacent lanes. EZ Street lets cities like Lima fix roads without shutting them down.

Reparaciones nocturnas con el tráfico circulando en los carriles contiguos. EZ Street permite que ciudades como Lima reparen sus vías sin cerrarlas.

I would love to understand the process @AmericanAir went through that led them to finally realize Starlink was the best path forward. Frequent flyers would tell you that reliable internet connectivity from gate to gate ranks high among customer perks, far greater than a credit card offering🥴. Charge me the ticket price for Starlink and throw in the airfare for free any day of the week.

I think it's worth discussing how last night's Blue Origin incident could affect Delta's decision to choose Amazon Leo over @Starlink.

A couple months ago, Delta announced plans to begin installing Amazon Leo connectivity on 500 aircraft starting in 2028. The key word here is begin, because unless Amazon decides to launch their Leo satellites on SpaceX rockets in the near term while Blue Origin works to return New Glenn to service, a process that could take 12–15 months (maybe longer) based on early reports, its deployment timeline could face significant delays. Amazon currently has about 300 Leo satellites in orbit, compared to @SpaceX's 10,400 Starlink satellites.

Those 500 aircraft would cover only about half of Delta's fleet, meaning a full fleet rollout likely wouldn't be completed until 2030 or so (maybe sooner if they launch Leo sats with SpaceX).

United Airlines expects Starlink to be installed on roughly 80% of its fleet (about 880 aircraft) by the end of this year, years ahead of Delta's rollout. Southwest Airlines expects approximately 300 aircraft, or 37% of its fleet, to have Starlink by the end of 2026. American Airlines is scheduled to begin Starlink installations in 2027.

This means Delta will have a meaningful competitive disadvantage when it comes to high-speed onboard internet, an increasingly important feature for travelers. This begs the question, does Delta accept these likely delays with Amazon Leo (again, unless they pay SpaceX to launch their sats in the meantime), or do they eventually decide they can't afford to wait and switch to Starlink?

A couple other factors to consider though: Delta has broader partnerships with Amazon beyond Leo, and Amazon may have offered a killer deal to get Delta to sign with them, one they may not want to give up. It's also possible Amazon dedicates a large share of Leo's early capacity to Delta, making a smaller satellite constellation mostly sufficient for its needs? I need to look more into that last part.

So far, 37 airlines (and counting) have announced Starlink adoption. I now some disagree with me on this, but I believe passengers will increasingly factor high-speed internet connectivity into their flight decisions, especially on longer flights. As more airlines adopt Starlink (three out of the four major U.S. airlines have), pressure will continue to mount for the airlines that haven't adopted it.

Jet Blue is in a similar situation to Delta....

The job does not wait for ideal conditions.

That is why EZ Street® Ambient® Asphalt Technology is designed to be thermally resilient and installed based on the environment at the worksite.

Less waiting.
Less scheduling around limitations.
More confidence in the repair.

[EZ Street Asphalt @EZSTREETASPHALT]

Cities don’t have a pothole awareness problem.
They have a response problem.
New tools from @Waymo and @waze are improving how we detect road issues.
The next step is ensuring those issues can be addressed immediately.
EZ Street Ambient® Asphalt gives crews the ability to repair potholes on the spot—no matter the conditions.
Because the faster you fix it, the safer the road becomes.

Hot mix growth usually means more tons or more plants.
EZ Street® growth means more margin per relationship.
One expands through infrastructure.
The other expands through leverage.
Different products. Different economics.

Gov’t operating at the speed of tech? New driver’s license appointment in Miami, FL took 18 minutes, in and out, and the wonderful person helping me, Nancy, apologized twice for making me wait! It was as seamless as ordering at Chick-fil-A.

Well done!

Margin is not just about volume.
It is about density.
EZ Street® Ambient® changes the equation by generating more value per ton, turning smaller quantities into plant-level economics.
Fewer tons. More impact.

David Friedberg today on @Tesla:

"I think we're going to look back one day and have this laughing observation that Tesla started out as an electric car company, ended up becoming an autonomous car company, and the autonomous competency lead to the robotics revolution. Even if the socialist ban robotics on Earth, you could ship all those robots to the Moon and they could get to work and create an entirely new manufacturing frontier for our civilization, for humanity."

Hot mix depends on physical plant ownership.
EZ Street® creates economic ownership without requiring more physical infrastructure.
That is what synthetic capacity looks like:
more reach, less fixed burden.

Our dev team came together in Walnut Creek this week with one goal: make PHIL better. PHIL is EZ STREET's sales intelligence tool — built to protect rep time and keep deals moving without the admin drag. In-person collaboration has a way of compressing months of iteration into days. Keep an eye out for what's ahead...

[EZ Street Asphalt @EZSTREETASPHALT]

Traditional asphalt thinking is range-bound.

EZ Street Ambient® Asphalt Technology is thermally resilient, adaptable, and engineered to perform across real-world jobsite conditions. The story is not just that it works. The story is why that matters to the people responsible for keeping roads moving.

Better technology creates better decisions in the field.

[EZ Street Asphalt @EZSTREETASPHALT]

Hot mix fights for share in plain sight.
EZ Street® becomes part of the operating system.
One is constantly contested.
The other gets embedded, specified, and relied on.
That is a different kind of market position.

One word.
That's what we asked the EZ Street team at CONEXPO.
The responses captured what this brand is really built on-people who believe in doing things better and supporting each other along the way.
We're proud to call this the EZ Street family.
Looking forward to everything we'll accomplish together this year!
