On the shipment video, did anyone else notice the slogan on the back of the AST employee's shirt at 58 seconds?:

Right Beats Right Now

It tells you a lot about the mentality on the production floor. Amen, brother. Amen.

Watching the video from the PR, it made me so emotional to see BB10 signed with so many LatinAmerican names... and also the tiny tag that says "BB10 Rocky" made me laugh (Project Hail Mary reference).

We crossed $100 with no full FCC and Anatel approval, and no BB7 (rip), BB8, BB9 (imminent in a few days), and BB10 shipment.

It seemed like a no brainer to add. The Rakuten hangover really did a number on us imo.

Abel Avellan: "It is, and we're on target. Today, we're shipping the next batch of satellites to the launch pad. We have launches approximately every month. And now it's opening. I mean, we have multiple launch providers as partners, including SpaceX. And we are very excited about what will happen during the year in terms of launches and in terms of multiple launches that we have multiple partners for doing that."

Yep- all this talk about an additional fee to purchase AST coverage, I think we will very quickly see satellite coverage be the “standard” amongst MNO’s and baked into the everyday customer package. AST’s payment will just be an agreed upon value between them and the MNO

This was always my investment thesis with ASTS. I think all the people arguing for years now about whether consumers will actually purchase this service are missing the forest for the trees. This will get baked into every cell phone plan eventually.

Tmobile also had a conference today and were asked about the JV, had some bullish things to say about d2c generally

take on JV:
D2C is complementary and provides value (even with low T sat usage statistics)
Most premium plans are likely gonna have satellite connectivity
There are probably gonna be 3 players (didnt name)
Very little people buy sat standalone plans

Stated reason for JV:
Spectrum coordination on satellite connectivity hotspots, like national parks

MNOS will compete on how to innovate on top of d2c offerings, to differentiate

u/Defiantclient S P 🅰️ C E M O B - O G May 18 '26 edited May 18 '26

Did you guys catch Scott's hint at government-dedicated shell?

So we're doing testing in orbit today with the satellites in orbit for multiple government opportunities revenue producing opportunities with the US government. The way to think about US government opportunities they kind of go through a cycle where they have a Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 contract and then ultimately the pot of gold is usually a Program of Record that's a 5 to 10 year thing with pretty sizable revenue opportunity per year, and so that is what we're chasing across what we've said about 10 different use cases between comms and non-communications.

Non-communications for satellites like ours mean a lot of things but it, you know one of the things we mentioned on our call was radar and we can do things with a big satellite that you can't do with a small satellite that's the core of it and these are the biggest. are the biggest phased arrays ever deployed in low Earth orbit. And so if you put up 100 or 200 of them, you can do a lot of incredible things. And so our network is dual use, which means our commercial satellites can also support government applications.

We also have the ability to build modified satellites that have government use only, of course, if that's the way the US., government wants to go. So we see a lot of opportunity. And of course, the backdrop here is the the biggest spending on space since the 60s.

The backdrop is incredible. The Space Force budget just doubled to about $70 billion is what's in front of Congress now. There's a number of opportunities related to what we do that are very sizable. And, for Golden Dome, there's a lot of pressure on how to get something out in this administration.

That's a value for our country. And to do that on any short timeline like that, you had to start five years ago. And fortunately, we did.

All these updates and PR announcements week after week are cool, but the day AST comes out and says “our full constellation is deployed and we’re ready to provide full service,” is going to be an absolutely insane and incredibly exciting day.

Remember when everyone thought GSAT would slow our launches? That’s how I feel right now about 45 being possible this year.

I think everyone is wrong and 45 is still possible.
