The House passed HR-4350 in September (see 2109240067) with language from the 911 Supporting Accurate Views of Emergency Services Act (HR-2351) and Promoting U.S. Wireless Leadership Act (HR-3003). Senators are vying to attach some other tech and telecom amendments to the measure, including dueling amendments on Ligado’s L-band plans.

United States, CIT #18-00002).

The supply chain and logistical issues impacting all companies forced Vizio into nearly depleted TV inventories as recently as July. But the vendor now enters the peak holiday selling period fending off suggestions, as on a Q3 earnings call Tuesday (see 2111090081), of positioning itself as the loss leader in the holiday TV space in a grab for retail “shelf share” through aggressive promotional pricing at “razor-thin” margins.
