- Comment: It seems you might have a better shot at having an article for Network Next being published given the sources provide more information and coverage for the startup not the developer. Your choice, but I'm still declining this draft. Also, external links in the body of the draft must be removed. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 01:02, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
