Nighthawk M2 US availability

Giving this one last bump. Netgear, you may want to consider replying to this one, otherwise a lot of your current customers may become former customers, as soon as given alternative product choice from another brand. Your obvious discrimination against US market and lack of transparancy about company's plans for this device in North American market are deterring your existing customers and prospective ones from North American market from future use of the Netgear products.
While I'd love to point the finger at Netgear given what a hot mess the MR1100 was/is. Clearly this M2 is being held up by either AT&T and/or the FCC. Given the launch of the M2 in nearly every market save for NA, I sincerely doubt Netgear is to blame.
While I'd love to drop my MR1100 in a hot minute, and Netgear entirely. Regrettably, in the "land of opportunity" there are few if any other options. I have most of them, and the MR1100's combination of battery life, speed, and Ethernet still puts it above anything else AT&T has to offer.
Though it seems rather abnoxiously priced at $250 these days
Im almost 99% will not be coming to the US unless you import it in. The reason its because of the M5, it makes more sence. If the M1 is capable of getting speeds up to 1Gbs and i seen some people get 800+mbs in some area with LAA+ on AT&T it does not make sense to get the m2 since it does not support 5G. The M5 in the other hands supports 5G NR and that will be a much better choice for carriers this year.
