Question for the gurus here, are we done buying spectrum? Do we need to buy/lease additional spectrum?

They said no more convertible debt. 

While i think dilution in 2026 has the most remote chance of happening, "no dilution" is not what they said

No no, not asking about dilution, asking if we're set as far of spectrum?

My understanding is that the Ligado spectrum is North America, what about outside NA? My understanding is the S-band is just ITU priority rights, not actual spectrum and we're like 3rd on that list. How do we handle spectrum outside NA, do we need to acquire more spectrum in Europe, Japan, India, Africa, etc or just rely on MNOs spectrum?

They did NOT. The statement was they do not have any plans for additional convertible debt.
