$NN The main opposition at this point of the process is from Part 15 devices. They claim that the NN proposal will destroy the U.S. because of potential interference. Part 15 devices are too vital to America to allow NN to modernize the 900 MHz band.

$NN The opposition claims that the entire economy is reliant on Part 15 devices and that potential interference, which they have not proven at all, will bring down the GDP of the country. They believe we can’t let this happen.

$NN Giant important companies have joined in this chorus. If this were potentially true, what if a relatively simply, cheap, solution could be found to solve this problem. Would’t these big, giant companies try to control the entire economic production of Part 15 devices.

Is the price action in every other space related company today a cautionary tale for $SPCX as to what could happen with $MAGS and other tech leaders when #anthropic and #OpenAI go public later this year or does it simply reflect an uninspired pricing on $SPCX and a stock that might not be up in the absence of $GS support? $RKLB $LUNR $ASTS $PL $RDW

$NN Fantastic day for NN. With today’s close above 20.10, we have now closed above this level for 20 of the last 30 days. Company can now convert $190 million in debt into common. We now have 250 million in cash and no debt. Will take 45 days to finalize. Fortress balance sheet.

Like the $MGNI story (from lower levels, less so at current pricing albeit still cheap) their seat in the ecosystem looks to be consolidating - TTD has real issue but put the pairs trade aside do you have concerns about the CFO departure at MGNI, the insider selling (not trivial), and the risks from ai on their business ex ctv?

Really interesting how $GO had truly massive insider buying and the stock barely reacted, allowing the investor to accumulate a sizable position. This one has worked quite nicely. https://t.co/iXfU4SCmt5
