@zeroxkyle This (Indonesia $EIDO) is what an actual crisis looks like... not speculative froth getting washed out of a boom. https://t.co/ncNciDY8LS

$NN Claiming that this will hurt NN's chances for an NPRM are just silly, not based upon the facts and fear mongering by a short focuses analyst. In think it is clear that the FCC sees the 900 Mhz band as important spectrum and is setting fair rules for all participants.

$NN I would like to see the company come out in full support of this NPRM. I think they would send the message this is good for NN, the country and consumers. Patience is being required but will be rewarded at the end of the process.
Charles Frischer on X
$NN While there have been delays in approval, the value of the spectrum continues to rise everyday. NN owns a valuable asset and shareholders should likely be very happy at the end of the process.

$NN The FCC yesterday issued an NPRM to allow Part 15 devices to use the 900 Mhz band in space. Capstone claims this is bad news for NN. I think this is actually great news for NN. The FCC is looking to have an active 900 MHz band, including the NN spectrum.
Charles Frischer on X
$NN I suggest folks read the NPRM. It provides the same protections to Part 15 as they already have for terrestrial spectrum, no more, no less. NN is absolutely confident through the testing done to date that we don't create harmful interference. And we won't with satellite uses.

@sScCrRaAbBLLeE @snack8812 $NN Dell, I am still long and strong on NN. Clearly I wish we had made the blog this week, but I think we are still a priority of the FCC. Based upon what I know right now, I think we should be on the blog in the next month or two. I agree it has taken longer than we would like.
