#FoodforThought! From #IndiaSpaceCongress2026, theme "Direct-to-Device Satellite Connectivity: The Next Telecom Revolution": Atmanirbhar Bharat is our opportunity to build indigenous capabilities—from chipsets to devices—while ensuring technology reaches every citizen. Innovation becomes truly transformative when industry, government, and stakeholders work together. B2B is going to be the next transformation for enterprise networks. It will enable a wide range of IoT use cases—from forestry, irrigation, livestock tracking, and drones to critical enterprise applications—while expanding connectivity beyond the unconnected to also serve the underserved with greater reliability and flexibility. What we are serving today will expand exponentially, opening up entirely new segments and use cases across industries. - Jitender Ahuja, Head - Products & Solutions, Nelco Limited "D2D is bringing the terrestrial and satellite industries together, creating a true convergence of networks. The technology has been demonstrated, but the real challenge lies in scaling it for millions of users while ensuring spectrum coexistence and regulatory certainty. Once these challenges are addressed, D2D has the potential to transform connectivity in remote, maritime, and border regions." - Prafulla Kumar, VP & Business Head, Reliance Jio "D2D is extending connectivity beyond the last tower, unlocking applications across disaster management, national security, maritime, energy, and digital inclusion. The real transformation lies in removing the user-terminal barrier and enabling mass adoption. To lead the world in 6G, India must lead with inclusive regulation." - Mr. Shivaji Chatterjee, , President & MD, Hughes Communications India Inclusion without connectivity is really challenging. Policymakers have to embrace technology and possibilities, while balancing their country’s specific needs and respecting investments already made into terrestrial networks. One of the highest targets is not only to make things happen, but to make things happen on a sustainable base—with predictability on when services can be launched being very important. - Alexander Jeuck, ICT & SpaceTech Professional "In India, anything that gets rolled out, at the end of the day, the users are looking for a better cost. Our AI-powered NEST Neural End-to-End Speech Codec takes only 1 kbps for a voice call, compared to around 13 kbps in a traditional 3G network. That is the way we can democratize and bring the cost down, make it affordable for users, and provide a very robust quality of communication over the NTN network with universal connectivity all across." - Sachida N.

$ASTS x $SPCX is a double-edged story. SpaceX helps ASTS launch BlueBird satellites into orbit — a clear execution tailwind. But Starlink Direct-to-Cell is also ASTS’ biggest competitive threat. For the stock: Launch success = bullish, de-risks coverage rollout. Starlink acceleration = pressure, competition risk. $ASTS is not just a satellite telecom bet. It is a race to prove direct-to-smartphone coverage before SpaceX dominates the narrative. $ASTS #ASTS #SpaceX #Starlink #SpaceStocks #Satellite #Telecom #5G #DirectToDevice wildbull.app/?tab=radar&rada…

$ASTS ✨ Why this matters for $ASTS investors An AST SpaceMobile employee highlighted a key technical issue for the future of NTN and direct-to-device satellite networks: “Launching more satellites alone does not solve everything.” The core issue is aggregate interference. In a simple model, one satellite talks to one user. But in a dense NGSO constellation, many satellites may be visible to the same user at the same time. Even if each satellite individually follows the rules, the combined interference can still increase at the user level. That matters because higher interference can lead to: • Lower SINR • Lower throughput • Weaker edge performance • Worse user experience The key message: Future NTN success will not depend only on satellite count. It will depend on: • Network design • Beam management • Spectrum efficiency • Constellation-wide interference control • Real user experience This is why “more satellites” is not the full answer. For ASTS investors, the bigger takeaway is that the long-term winner in direct-to-device may not simply be the company with the most satellites. It may be the company that can design the best coexistence between satellite networks and terrestrial mobile networks. $ASTS #ASTSpaceMobile #NTN #DirectToDevice #Satellite #Telecom #SpaceTech #5G linkedin.com/posts/aliesswie…
