@scottwilsonUSD @cfrischer1 just more of the same. no effort to explain why US RFID/part 15 needs all of lower 900 when the rest of the world functions fine with much less, & ignoring that $NN is meant to be just part of a system of systems.

@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

@Catahoula_Value It feels like $BCOW management would rather continue stealing from the shareholders. $LRBI is performing well on its own and improving so not needed. Sure does spotlight the values though. $MBBC also in $PSBQ backyard where Nick Z is really improving his bank.
