@endless_frank @AST_SpaceMobile Hi - no position but have been following along. How do you think about the advantages that SpaceX and $AMZN have in terms of name recognition, distribution, and cost of capital? How do you think about pricing in a 3 player market? Is it a race to the bottom out of the gate? TYIA

$GPGI Stagnating credit card manufacturer (fka CompoSecure). Levered up 4x to acquire commodity plastic injection molding company Husky. Last month CEO departed, this week CEO and CFO of Husky left. Now rudderless with very ambitious guidance almost certain to get revised lower.

Think signal value for $NN is very high here. Ajit Pai, Brendan Carr’s mentor at the FCC, is Pres and CEO of CTIA. Execs from $VZ and $T are chair and vice chair. Unlikely they put Mariam on the board unless $NN future is bright. 💯% Pai knows what is happening behind FCC doors. https://t.co/4Jtm3aiAf9
