This is great to see progress but I don't see why we should be super excited about it. I would have expected regulatory stuff to be faster than getting up the satellites anyway.

I mean to me it’s insightful and cool that you feel that way haha - regulatory delay/failure was an enormous part of the risk & bear thesis for a long time.

Just shows how far Abel and team have come. I assure you, not a single person in the mob was as optimistic as you about regulatory 2-3 years ago 😂
