Broadband from space. Designed to connect directly to everyday smartphones. 🌎📶📱 #ASTSpaceMobile #Broadband #ConnectingtheUnconnected #BlueBirds

$ASTS: CNBC Interview Gwynne Shotwell President & COO $SPCX Morgan: Starlink Mobile, how big is that opportunity? Gwynne: I think that opportunity is huge. If you were to look at numbers of subscribers, I think Starlink Mobile will far exceed Starlink broadband in the home.

Spectrum works like sound. Bass goes through walls. Treble doesn't. SpaceX paid ~$19.6B for treble. AST got the bass: the carriers' own 700/800 MHz at $0 upfront, 45 MHz owned for ~$550M. The ONLY company authorized for indoor satellite-to-phone. Not SpaceX. Not Amazon.

$ASTS There were some updates to the Ligado filings last week. One of particular interest was that it appears AST now believes their BB satellites (at least Block 3, maybe all) will have a useful life of 15 years instead of 10! Compared to Starlink with 3-5 years per the S-1.

$ASTS: 🚨SPACEX CONFIRMS THAT THE RUMOURED "PARTNERSHIP" WITH APPLE WAS BULLSHIT AFTER ALL "We do not have direct contractual arrangements with handset manufacturers; instead, we expect MNO partners, as major purchasers of mobile devices, to encourage or drive such adoption. There can be no assurance that these modifications will be adopted on our preferred timeline, or at all. Internationally, we face similar constraints until handset manufacturers implement hardware and software modifications to support the international spectrum authorizations to be obtained from EchoStar. As a result, our near-term international service strategy depends on our ability to establish MNO spectrum partnerships on a market-by-market basis, which does not require device hardware modifications but is subject to the successful negotiation and execution of commercial agreements in each jurisdiction. Until device manufacturers incorporate support for our international spectrum bands into future handsets, we will be unable to offer 5G-like direct-to-consumer service on our own international spectrum."
