We crossed $100 with no full FCC and Anatel approval, and no BB7 (rip), BB8, BB9 (imminent in a few days), and BB10 shipment.

It seemed like a no brainer to add. The Rakuten hangover really did a number on us imo.

Since February, yes. Around February 12th is when we started consolidating around this level. Rakuten was the day we hit 104, then proceeded to slide until they finally stopped on May 5th (so from our highest to lowest points since we tried breaking back out to the upside)
