$NN Market is saying today is not going to happen for NN. I agree. It is taking longer than hoped for but low band is becoming more valuable by the day. I expect Carr to reach a deal with all the parties and then a quick process to report and order. That deal might take a bit

Seems like Shelly $SLYG has solved it’s problem with Amazon $AMZN as the Shelly Amazon store is back and the relais are again Bestseller products (Germany) with Shelly as seller and not 3rd party reseller. The question is whether Amazon or Shelly backed down. https://t.co/fbSo1f2AxQ

@CalgaryLeveen @cfrischer1 @sScCrRaAbBLLeE 4/x) i'd bet RFID would drop their objections to $NN's plan in exchange for licensed status in 907-918 (or 908-917Mhz). Seems like a fair compromise to provide terrestrial backup to GPS in the U.S. for free.

@CalgaryLeveen @cfrischer1 @sScCrRaAbBLLeE 2/x) remember $NN does not want 907-918 MHz. RFID signal is strongest at 915. Europe and China both use ~9 MHz for RFID, with restrictions on power and listen before talk. Why is 11 MHz that includes 915 (9 w/ blockers) not enough for RFID in the US? https://t.co/U9xEpNXW22
