BREAKING: Japan is testing Starlink-powered fire hydrant signs as emergency communication hubs. • Japan has approximately 120,000 fire hydrant signs installed nationwide. • The technical demonstration was conducted by Shokasen Hyoshiki Co., Ltd., a company that manages fire hydrant signs across Japan. • The test explored mounting Starlink equipment on a fire hydrant sign to provide satellite internet connectivity. • The goal is to transform existing fire hydrant signs into temporary Wi-Fi and emergency communication hubs during disasters. • Residents could use them to access emergency information and stay connected if cellular and terrestrial internet networks go down. • The project is currently an early-stage technical verification and has not yet been deployed commercially or nationwide. This demonstration shows how @elonmusk's Starlink could help keep communities connected when traditional networks are unavailable.

🚨 NOW: President Trump’s motorcade is racing through DC en route to the White House with the Washington Monument COMPLETELY lit up with “250” projected on the side This is going to be an EPIC week. Over **850,000** FIREWORKS are set to go off in just 3 days. A typical July 4th fireworks show in DC consists of just 20,000. YUGE.
