🌐Vodafone DA
- 10 Year Agreement Covers Vodafone Home Markets as well as other markets via its Partner Markets Program
- Vodafone operates in more than 20 markets and has partnerships that cover another 40 markets
- Confirmed speeds of greater than 20 Mbps on 5 Mhz of spectrum
- The service: These gateways will then connect to Vodafone's existing network infrastructure to route the broadband data to users' devices, as well as to access third-party Apps and the Internet
A gateway is being installed in a first country - to be disclosed next year. ASTS disclosed, “We are installing five gateways in the United States and have gateways installed or nearing completion in half a dozen other countries.”
As we continue to learn about the process of approvals, a little more "learning" occurs (code for wrong initial expectations). Confirming Block 1 is deployed seems like an obviously pre-condition for the FCC to want before authorization an STA
ASTS has been disclosing data transmission rates that imply 4 bits per second of spectral efficiency. Original estimates were done with 2.5 bits per second
Seeing this filing means the operator (through the U.S. administration) has taken an early and essential regulatory step. The ITU framework sets the stage for official recognition of the satellite’s frequency usage and ensures no uncoordinated interference emerges
The world is over, but $ASTS continues to be in control of its destiny with nuanced details in regulatory filings showing that a large base of government revenue appears to be cooking. That, and more, on this week's Weekly...

Beta is back. Wholesale liquidations of the market is always super fun, but it gives you a second chance. A great stock won't ever go back or rewind itself unless a) the market pukes or b) something bad happens.
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). November 2008 saw a vigorous +18 % rebound in the month after the local low, even though the global financial crisis continued well into 2009. 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
ASTS accomplished more this quarter than any Company I can remember. As their unofficial chronicler, I'm in shock at their pace of play...read on, friends
🕺MWC Update
