For context, that revenue was $18.67 billion in 2025, with a net loss of $4.94 billion. And we must remember that 6G is in the final stages of development, which has peak speeds of…

yea, but those users can still upgrade to 6.7 which isn't even out yet, and then also remain on that as a supported release for a significant amount of time. And you'd have to bala…
