Johnson has, he just doenst have any that meets the reporting threshold.

"Under assets on Speaker Johnson’s most recent financial disclosure report for 2022, it says “none disclosed.” No retirement plan, no mutual funds, no bank account. Actually, the Speaker’s office told Marketplace that he does have a personal bank account, but it’s exempt from House reporting rules because it doesn’t earn interest."

Let me educate you on how they perform their assessment. Its quite easy and the technology is used around the world.

What you do is look at the road and write down the street name and you've identified where a pothole is coming after todays rain.

> The capital intensive nature of any network build-out will also delay profitability by many years, and existing operators have previously warned that licensing a third operator could affect their plans for - and investment in - 5G or fifth generation technology.

The capital-intensive buildout would be the burden of the entrant. If that's what they want to take on, then they must have a plan, and if it doesn't work out, it doesn't hurt the other two. Imagine the govt approving restaurants based on the profitability impacts to other restaurants or worrying about the profitability of the entrant.

Also if they new one comes in they may simply opt for 5g in their rollout. Wouldn't competition increase the chances of 5G if they propose to walk in and offer 5G at completion?

URCA is supposed to promote competition right? Otherwise this stifles competition.

URCA should welcome entrants as it did Starlink.

Going International is thier only hope and I think that was thier goal. If thier model is to be a boutique crowdfunding partner and they catch on in the Caribbean and then continue to build, maybe they had a slim chance.

The problem is to get there they need money to sustain them. I don't know their staff count but decent salaries for say 5-10 people would burn money quickly. You need capital to start in the hopes of fees over the long run.

I suspect they just weren't sufficiently capitalized for the startup lossess.
