Newsworthy notes for the day:

There has been a partnership established for the purpose of constructing a tower that will enhance cellular connectivity and telecommunications across the globe. The cell tower will be built in Guam, a territory of the U.S., starting in August 2025. Construction will finish in August 2027. The partnership is a blend of private corporate share (private industry) and government stake. AT&T and Verizon and Bell MTS and Rogers Communications are the major stakeholders. In addition, the U.S. Department of National Defense has pledged some support in terms of personnel and equipment and a small financial contribution. The project comes at a cost of $4.9 million U.S. dollars (USD).

Top 3 Start-Up Business Ideas for Spring Break Destination 2024 based on customer feedback and last year’s record-setting sold-out numbers:

1. Beachside manicures as a spa service that is performed by an esthetician on a mobile, drive-up cart or truck or at a kiosk near the beach and the facility or vehicle has the necessary permit or go-ahead or OK issued by the local health department.

2. A cleaning and waxing service for surf boards and sand skis (for sand dunes) and wakeboards that is offered beachside and also classes or lessons to teach people how to clean and wax their own boards and skis and the classes would be taught by expert instructors.

3. Buy your own gold bouillon off the floor of the Atlantic ocean as an outfitted service and the adventure would include a day or more of expert guided tours of the underwater continental shelf as well as instruction and loaner equipment for the collection of the precious gold bouillon that lines the top 3” of the sea floor and the guide would have all levels of SCUBA training needed and this is all happening from the depths off the coast of India bearing the latitude and longitude of: 32 degrees 73.371 South and 41 degrees 41.282 East (in other words) 32° 73.371 S and 41° 41.282 E.
