The dot-com era had its hidden winners. The smartphone boom had its hidden winners. James Altucher says the AI era has one too, and almost nobody is tracking it.Washington, D.C., May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artificial intelligence is everywhere. It dominates headlines, earnings calls, and dinner conversations. James Altucher says that’s exactly why most people are missing the bigger story. In a new free <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=4KU_5GV3dF3jHplTaJFFJWT_p1KL8I8FsAsYz_QL0r6kh63EPej9fsmh_5XXa_vBTXvd_B2w55fWfJuFIGJdrQlXwKD_9iRm992d8bT6phtw51qAxi9Bb6jk4A7wUXVQ3BQ2hNjD7bWOWamGSplpjg==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">presentation</a>, the tech expert and venture capitalist explains why he believes the most important technology shift of the next decade may not be AI itself, but the network that makes AI possible. AI Is Loud. The Real Shift Is Quiet. Altucher’s <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=4KU_5GV3dF3jHplTaJFFJWhbnGWW_eDVoasCuDZ4WiaLkgzHyTwwtS25iwytjKbiJcF48EZQHFmsLZsuk6MnFk5dbGdINYNQIRjS_gdRBG3okARBmuTI26z5RR7FMXQdMk2qdH6Jye6cOj9Svk1-aA==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">presentation</a> makes a point that most AI headlines ignore. Artificial intelligence doesn’t run on chips alone. It runs on the global infrastructure that connects users, devices, and data centers together. Without reliable, fast, worldwide connectivity, the AI revolution simply can’t reach most of the planet. Altucher believes that’s where satellite internet comes in. While the world watches AI, a parallel race is happening above Earth that may quietly turn into one of the most important infrastructure stories in history. Why History Keeps Repeating This Pattern In the <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=4KU_5GV3dF3jHplTaJFFJcTmJYT88T4nJqunScNrnkVJ1nHyM4137wch7_85fhbhe1h3xir-3-LOgkz5KgBrit0DeV2YPm1yJc8bC3GPlGf8D0HnHPH1kPNyV_my6kHJeHaZsa8XFpsMPaUzMdWTVQ==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">presentation</a>, Altucher walks through how this has happened before. During the dot-com era, everyone watched the consumer websites. The real winners were the companies building the internet backbone. During the smartphone boom, the headlines were about Apple and Samsung. The quiet winners were the cloud companies running everything behind the scenes. Why Altucher Wants People to See This Now Altucher says the AI conversation is sucking all the oxygen out of the room. While that’s happening, satellite internet companies are launching thousands of satellites, expanding into more than 100 countries, and locking in long-term advantages that few investors are tracking. He released the <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=4KU_5GV3dF3jHplTaJFFJfiOxDveonQPQgMCKc0JJZoqp9I-FRuzE0syR_v6yDE-FZtOHFfuUkzPNNFZmAsCyLxRXi_26lK72pMC18b2zmtwHbx-yUfYC5hF3PfoI_i5LkLR77lNIWdWUSs2lebnWk3DArQzxIKyOBrmcilcIU8=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">presentation</a> now because, in his words, the next big story is almost always the one nobody is looking at.
