$ASTS: 🚨FCC Proposes Expanded Direct-to-Device Satellite Connectivity for Unlicensed Wireless Devices Proposal Would Also Allow Unlicensed Wireless Devices to Operate on Spacecrafts WASHINGTON, August 6, 2026—The Federal Communication Commission today voted to launch a proceeding to explore new avenues for enabling innovative unlicensed wireless devices to communicate directly with satellites. Unlocking the 200 megahertz of unlicensed spectrum for direct-to-device (“D2D”) uses promises to support new services that seamlessly integrate devices across terrestrial and satellite platforms, giving consumers an additional option for reliable connectivity. With the transformative wave of investment and innovation in recent years around D2D services, this proceeding will examine certain spectrum bands available for unlicensed devices to determine how they might support the capacity requirements and complement other bands for D2D services. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking adopted today examines potential reforms that would enable devices operating in certain part 15 bands to communicate with FCC-authorized satellites, whether on an uplink and/or downlink path. Devices operating under the FCC’s part 15 rules for unlicensed wireless equipment are widely used by businesses and consumers and today’s action is intended to expand opportunities for Wi-Fi and supported applications, such as IoT, that benefit from more robust wireless connectivity. The Commission also proposed clarifying that equipment authorized under part 15 for unlicensed devices may be used within FCC-authorized spacecraft – both on-board and between spacecraft. Consistent with the FCC’s broader efforts to support the space economy, the Commission would further explore additional scenarios in which part 15 devices might effectively and safely operate in space, building a record to help unlock opportunities for innovation. Action by the Commission August 6, 2026 by Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FCC 26-51). Chairman Carr, Commissioners Gomez and Trusty approving and issuing separate statements. fcc.gov/document/fcc-l…

Respect for admitting you got Starlink wrong. But that’s exactly the point: your legacy frameworks failed to predict the biggest paradigm shift in modern space tech, and now you're applying that same outdated logic to $ASTS Unlike the companies of the 90s that failed because they required expensive, clunky, specialized satphones. You are completely ignoring the technological leap, eliminating the consumer hardware barrier, that makes your historical comparisons invalid.

It’s incredibly convenient to claim you single-handedly predicted every major satellite bankruptcy of the 90s and 2000s decades after the fact. Claiming 'I called Iridium' is the oldest trick in the book to try and manufacture authority when your current argument is failing. Hiding behind unverifiable past glories doesn't change the fact that your 'core thesis' on $ASTS is fundamentally flawed. You are comparing 25-year-old legacy satphone business models to direct-to-unmodified-smartphone technology. If your analysis had actual technical substance, you wouldn't need to invent a Nostradamus track record to defend it.

For an 'independent consultant' who claims his opinions are strictly 'derived from logical evaluations', screaming 'it's going to zero!' just because you lost an argument over an intraday chart is hilarious. It's clear your 'analysis' is 100% driven by the 'personal animus' you admitted to having. Stop hiding behind the consultant title, you're just an emotional poster moving goalposts when cornered.

You tried to dunk on $ASTS based on a momentary tick and got caught celebrating prematurely. Now you're out here moving the goalposts again and making excuses about lock-up expiries. When you try to dunk on a 5-minute chart, you get clowned on the 5-minute chart. It’s that simple.

It's fascinating how your whole life revolves around waiting for $ASTS to fail. You've turned being wrong into a full-time job. 'The market has other ideas.' 🤣 Are we looking at the same chart? Here, let me help you with that.

The hyperbolic SpaceMob reaction to this routine $ASTS announcement is funny (there are no new partners; DT has been an MNO MoU partner for years). Meanwhile, the market has other ideas🤣

$ASTS: 🧩Deutsche Telekom acknowledges that it is evaluating AST SpaceMobile service Tim Hoettges, CEO Deutsche Telekom Q2 ER "I'm surprised by the catch up and developments we see in LEO on the Amazon side and the ambitions of AST SpaceMobile. Different technologies but very decent capacity they can build. I can tell you there won't be one satellite player, but there will be a few we can include into our offerings going forward."

$ASTS ✨ Institutional interest in AST SpaceMobile continues. According to a recent 13F filing, TTRF Capital Ltd initiated a new position in $ASTS during Q2, acquiring 87,700 shares valued at approximately $7.8 million. ASTS is now TTRF Capital's third-largest holding, representing about 5.1% of its investment portfolio. Institutional investors collectively own approximately 60.95% of AST SpaceMobile. marketbeat.com/instant-alerts…

AST SpaceMobile $ASTS anunció que las pruebas de integración de red ya están en marcha en ocho países europeos: Reino Unido, Irlanda, Rumanía, Francia, República Checa, Alemania, España y Ucrania. Los operadores involucrados: Vodafone, Orange, Telefónica, Deutsche Telekom y Vodafone Ucrania, apoyados en la infraestructura de gateways que despliega Satellite Connect Europe, la JV con sede en Luxemburgo entre ASTS y Vodafone. Esto ocurre un día después del lanzamiento exitoso de BlueBird 11, 12 y 13 en un Falcon 9 desde Cabo Cañaveral.

$ASTS BlueBird satellites 11, 12, and 13 successfully launched aboard a Falcon 9 last night. BlueBirds 14, 15, and 16 are already preparing for the next launch. Production is advancing through BlueBird satellite 42, supporting rapid constellation scaling. Company remains on track for beta cellular broadband service later in 2026. New satellites are expected to deliver peak speeds approaching 200 Mbps directly to standard smartphones. Nearly 2× faster than the 98.9 Mbps achieved by the initial Block 1 BlueBird satellites. Initial continuous coverage targets include the U.S., Canada, Europe, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and U.S. Government customers. $ASTS has agreements with nearly 60 mobile network operators representing 3+ billion subscribers. Key partners include AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone, Rakuten, Google, Bell, Telus, stc Group, and American Tower.

$ASTS $SPCX: With the launch of BB11 to 13, @AST_SpaceMobile's antenna area in orbit will be ~1,658 m² after unfolding Current Starlink Direct-To-Cell antenna area in orbit based on 650 satellites is 4,037 m² Every launch of 3 AST BlueBird Block 2 satellites adds ~669 m² of antenna area. Therefore, 4 more Falcon 9 launches would result in AST having a greater antenna array in orbit than Starlink Direct-To-Cell: + BB14-16 + BB17-19 + BB20-22 + BB23-25 Coincidentally or not, this is the same number of BBs required for Initial Noncontinuous Service including a commercial beta service in the US. 👀

Full deployment of the latest batch $ASTS full size commercial Block2 satellite. BlueBird 11-13. Company is at 3 per month launch cadence and next batch expected to ship soon. Meanwhile the company is expanding the production in a fashion that will 2x this rate near term and then further large expansions will continue to expand more parallel production lines beyond that point. Company is well past ”production hell” and launch id contracted to get to continuous commercial coverage with plenty of more funds for additional launch beyond that. It’s lovely to finally see execution recurring at his steady rate. And it’s a very noteable ability that few have as it relates to securing government contracts. Government will not look for one-offs. They want a conveyor belt to space able to replenish adapt and reinforce at the speed of need. AST has that production line and cadence within the timeframe of Golden Dome. Few others does. No one else on planet earth does this (serial production of 4.5t, 100kW, 200 sqm phased areas, class satellites.)
