I agree the end game is to sell the company.
Once they mature in their growth, my bet is they
- sell off the solar company as it is not core to our future.
- spin off the remaining commercial services and platform as another company.
- sell the remaining company that holds the spectrum as a pure-play.
I wouldn't put too much thought into hiring.
Network build out, national construction (climbing towers), software development, data science, etc. is all very easily outsourced to providers with much deeper capabilities, expertise and bench strength.
And for good reason because it allows for scalability.
Speculating here, but my bet/guess is once the network is completely built out and operational, and they have 2-3 years of financial results in monetizing the netowrk, they will be able to demonstrate the financial value and will then sell.
