An incredibly important point that gets missed very often
There is also a federal capital gains tax.
I suspect cell site density and that Wi-Fi infra doesn’t require the same regulatory permissions as a microcell. Wi-Fi is unlicensed.
It’s so pleasing to hear someone actually know what they are talking about.

Quick question - does this model expand to multi million dollar advances, assuming the cash flow warrants it?

Multipart SMS wasn’t trivial to stitch together then, absolutely did not have universal device support then, and in a few cases do not support it now.

Thank you. What a willful ridiculous article from the author.
LTE hasn’t made as much of a replacement in Home Broadband in rural as much as you’d think largely due to tower congestion. Cell site density is so low — plus deprioritization at 30/50gb.

In addition you’ve usually got only 1-2 networks in deep rural.

While this is true for many, the extent of 401(k) might signal differently. Also, most of the wealthy I know have far less in the stock market than you might imagine. Real Estate, development and private placements. Stock Market is too tax inefficient.

The combined entity will have a similar amount of spectrum as Verizon and AT&T. Why should they divest?
