@scottwilsonUSD @cfrischer1 Womack is seemingly in $WMT's pocket & claiming $NN will interfere with RFID. However, $NN has the proof that they do not interfere with RFID, so presumably Womack will go away.

@scottwilsonUSD $NN I think there will be a solution that works for all parties. The country needs our spectrum.

$NN At this point in the process, it doesn't really matter if the NPRM drops in June, July or August. The value of spectrum has dramatically changed over the last 12 months. Direct to device with satellite companies like SpaceX and Amazon have become critical buyers of spectrum.

$NN Waiting a few extra months to get the NPRM doesn't matter compared to the ultimate value of the spectrum. Plus the NN spectrum can/will be used for many additional vital issues like IOT, drones and other AI uses.

$NN Finally, check out the comments recently made by Anterix regarding how they are thinking about the value of their spectrum. The numbers are much higher than I had ever imagined. I am long a bit of $ATEX. NN spectrum is far more powerful than the low band spectrum held by ATEX

$WIX base44 biz under pressure revenue estimates are always easy to make. you just give pricing concessions or spend a lot on promotions unfortunately base44 which was one of the first big headline AI darlings is now facing the reality of massive competition. there is just no way they can compete with the foundation models at favorable economic terms. the wrapper bear thesis is looking intact. beware of wrapper ai services.
