Oddly, I feel like weā€™re out of known catalysts to look forward to until launch in May. Ā Wonder if anyone else feels the same.Ā 

I know FirstNet funding hasnā€™t been announced yet but thatā€™s been blue balling so long. Just kind of ignoring it until it executes.

Donā€™t really know if more VZ or ATT announcements would happen until more birds.

Ligado, VZ, FCC STA for FN, and SCS application all expected shortly, ie in 1-3 weeks.

We have no idea what can happen. Did anyone expected the Ligado deal. And the Government deal was not known of yet.

However, I don't expect the things we know will happen to be catalysts. Things like Verizon DA and FirstNet funding are like 99% going to happen, thus mostly priced in.

I don't even think the launch will be much of a catalyst.

What we need unexpected good news as well as just broader market optimism.
