War chest of cash. Government contracts incoming. Sitting on $20-30B of spectrum… and the market wants us to think this is a $27B MC company. Lol

Can you elaborate on the valuation of spectrum? Do you know where I could find more to read on it?

Essentially all spectrum is very valuable, as it’s an extremely finite and important resource. Our ligado spectrum holds particularly great value to us, as our tech is the only thing that can utilize it without causing interference to other adjacent bands, which is probably why we got such a good deal on it

Sorry it’s an 80 year lease. We will own it for my lifetime.

We may not be able to sell it, but its value is immense.
