$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

@DSacksCreative $NN The low band spectrum controlled by NN is quite valuable. $GSAT is a terrific comp. Sold for 11.6 billion. In many ways, our spectrum is extremely valuable and can carry more data and is more vital. Very desirable asset.

$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

@lindenstcapital $NN In the last 12 OIRA actions at the FCC, it looks like approval was received the same day as the blog was posted in 6 cases. Tomorrow is still possible. We will find out by around 2:30 PM on Wednesday. If not, April 28th is only 21 days away.

NN shares fell on 1.7 million shares as investors awaited OIRA approval of an NPRM opposed by airline groups over interference concerns.

@MLedrappier @CalgaryLeveen No doubt a sale of Globalstar to Amazon or SpaceX would be great news for $NN. Especially at the valuations being cited. I am long a small position in $GSAT. This would be an incredible day for NN. Validates spectrum valuations

NN has drawn bipartisan support for alternative GPS, framing resilient navigation as a national-security priority despite investor concerns.

Meta and Google face questions over their muted response to data-center construction backlash despite their AI ambitions and control of major online distribution platforms.
