First thing is this point, which is coincidence with the roadshow guidance from the December capital raise. FUNDED for production AND launch of Block 1. This means funded until first revenue, whereupon they should have break-even cash flow
The TAM is very large. Note the explicit mention of IOT, wearables, etc. "unmodified, standard, existing spectrum."
Review of the TAM. This is important for when real long only's show-up. They will want to have near endless runway for growth and opportunity
ASTS will not aid in the weaponization of drones by excluding China and Russia. Made in Texas, bitches

Analogues:
October 1987 saw an enormous single‑day collapse (“Black Monday”). One month later, the market was roughly flat to slightly down (depending on the exact start/end points).

March 2020 bottomed on March 23; the rebound one month later was approximately +25 %, reflecting the swift policy response and rapid market snapback.
Son, are we winning? Apparently, but last week it didn't feel like it. Ligado got signed, the future is bright but macro and FUD separate the men from the boys...that, and more on this week's Weekly...
The DA is signed. The implications of this are enormous. ASTS is ever-evolving and capitalizing on opportunities to maximize the value of their innovative technology
