🚨🚨 $ASTS WEEK IN REVIEW🚨🚨

Cardinals select a new supreme constellation, FCC filings give us a lot of potential upside surprises, and more on this week's Weekly Image 🚀Launch Update

The launch guidance tightens up from H2 2025 - 1H 2026.

The story is now for cash flow ramp expectations. The April–May 2025 FCC/NTIA volley shows AST SpaceMobile has cleared the two riskiest technical hurdles—orbital-debris compliance and 36 GHz passive-sensor protection—while quietly quadrupling its target constellation. In short, “36 GHz passive-sensor protection” refers to proving that AST’s Q/V-band feeder links will not wash out sensitive climate-monitoring instruments. The filings show AST achieves this with comfortable technical margin, eliminating a major regulatory uncertainty without sacrificing link budget or launch schedule.

FCC Chair Carr and Senator Ted Cruz drop by to congratulate Abel, Golden Dome kicks off, 5G Fund expectations rise, ISRO Launch soon, and much more on this week's Weekly... Image 🎌Rakuten Meeting

CEO Hiroshi Mikitani told a briefing Wednesday that Rakuten would provide voice, video, text and "other" services when it starts in the fourth quarter of 2026.

While Japan has dense mobile coverage in built-up areas, its difficult terrain and numerous offshore islands mean most carriers cover only about 70% of the total territory.

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... Image 👶Beta Boys

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.

More attention. Does this stuff matter? Yes, in the sense if someone new is looking at it, the more surrounding validation that ASTS is a real company helps lower the threshold for people digging into the story. Then they will 🅰️themselves.

🚨🚨 $ASTS WEEK IN REVIEW🚨🚨

Blue Origin hot fires successfully (despite earlier market rumors), some year in reviews, STA updates, and much more... Image AST SpaceMobile’s Transformational Year:
ASTS has undergone a significant evolution over the past year, transforming from a company grappling with technical and financial uncertainty to one with strong partnerships (Google, Verizon, AT&T), validated FCC approvals, government deals, and an emerging satellite technology platform. Block 1 deployment has shown real progress, and ASTS is now positioned as a potential leader in the direct-to-device satellite market. Challenges remain in scaling, securing additional funding, and achieving full regulatory approval.

Competitive Landscape: ASTS vs. Starlink:
Expert interviews highlight AST SpaceMobile’s unique approach with high-capacity satellites and large antennas, enabling superior speeds (20–100 Mbps). In contrast, Starlink leverages its rapid satellite deployment and spectrum agreements with T-Mobile to offer near-term services but with limited capacity and slower speeds (1–2 Mbps). Both companies face regulatory, technical, and financial hurdles as they race to capture growing demand in satellite-based IoT and connectivity markets.

Market Dynamics and Catalysts:
Key upcoming catalysts include potential BAML analyst coverage, further FCC spectrum decisions, and advancements in ASTS’s satellite deployments. Spectrum reuse and beamforming technologies remain critical to ASTS’s ability to scale and compete effectively. Meanwhile, broader telco market changes, like Verizon selling 6,300 towers and AT&T phasing out copper networks, underscore the push toward capital-efficient infrastructure and advanced wireless technologies.

Regulatory and Legal Developments:
Viasat has filed complaints against Starlink’s spectrum use, emphasizing interference and procedural concerns. This adds complexity to the regulatory landscape as ASTS and others vie for approval. ASTS’s ability to navigate these challenges will be pivotal for its success.

Investor Sentiment and Financial Developments:
Tax-loss selling and prior high trading volumes at levels above $25 suggest a reset in investor expectations, creating opportunities for a fresh start in 2025. ASTS’s recent shareholder decisions and redemptions also provide clarity on its financial position going into the new year.
Industry Highlights:

Telco Evolution: AT&T’s $6B annual maintenance cost for copper networks highlights the operational burdens of legacy infrastructure. Phasing out copper could unlock billions in recoverable resources.
Blue Origin and SpaceX Updates: Excitement continues in the space industry, with milestones such as static fire tests for upcoming launches.

IoT Potential: The adoption of 5G spectrum for satellite communication opens new avenues for integrating satellite connectivity into cars, industrial sensors, and more.
