Boring update

 After updating my old data about the contibution factor yesterday, I decided to update my table of dates showing how long the first approval takes, which I haven't updated since 2019. Here it is:

Kinda looks like I shouldn't have bothered. Since 2019, it's been dependably boring. Except for COVID, the window has always ended in the fourth week of March, the FCC has approved the PIA procedures on or around the window close date, and the first wave has come out at the end of April.

The number of applications approved and the total amount approved in the first wave peaked in 2022, but it's stayed close to 20,000 applications and a $billion.
