The submission describes 'WFI' (Wireless Facilities, Inc.), a major telecom infrastructure firm that historically held a large market cap. However, the original WFI rebranded to Kratos Defense in 2007. The current domain 'wfinet.com' appears to be a legacy or 'zombie' site with 'Coming Soon' placeholders and future-dated copyrights (2026), raising significant doubts about active operations. The submission quality is extremely low ('MysticKeeper', audience 'everyone', 'most people have used my product'), lacking verifiable current traction or professional detail. While the underlying industry (telecom) has utility, this specific project submission lacks credibility and appears to rely on the history of a now-defunct or acquired entity.
