First time writing about NIHD - they have annual interest expense 4.5x their market cap. Quarterly results:

I've followed NIHD on and off for a while. My read is that it uses an idiosyncratic technology that originally made it the tech leader and let it offer features the other carriers couldn't. The other carriers had more subscribers, though, so they were able to fund innovation from a larger revenue base and eventually surpassed NIHD technologically, which crushed its ARPU and forced it to spend a lot to catch up.
Whatever the case, it's an amazing blow-up- from $1.50 to $90 and all the way back.
Morningstar has a pretty good analyst report on the company.
Bond is now trading at 35 - a 75% ytm.
