$ASTS | Satellite Connect Europe | US JV with $TMUS, $VZ and $T @deutschetelekom earnings call. Question about @SpaceX: "Karl Murdoch-Smith at Citi, please. That's great, thanks Hannes. Firstly, one of the reasons for the potential weakness in the share prices is concerns about satellite. You just talked about your investments to maintain market leadership. SpaceX earlier this week made comments that it's not out of the question that at some point Starlink will deliver a majority of the world's internet, and talking about that on a 10-year time frame, and also stating that it believes its service will be better than yours in the US. I'd love to hear your thoughts on those comments." 《So, by the way, the first, you know, we take SpaceX ambitions very seriously. That's the first one. Satellite connectivity will expand the market and improve coverage in places especially where terrestrial economics and geographical things are challenging. No question. T-Mobile, by the way, and Deutsche Telekom, we are already well positioned to integrate satellite capabilities where they improve the customer proposition. We have a Gen 1 deal in the US, we have a Gen 2 deal for Europe, and we are ready to integrate that into a direct-to-device. So therefore, you know, this is definitely something which from our proposition, always best connected, is something which we consider.》

Successful launch… again!🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 🚀🚀 🚀 Our DC team in full comms with BlueBirds 11, 12, and 13 within minutes, and just confirmed full Nominal Operations. BlueBirds 14, 15, and 16 to follow soon after, with production underway in Texas through spacecraft 42. We now have ~20,000 sq ft of combined aperture hardware in Space! Bigger is better and we have the biggest!!! Beta service around the corner! 🤠 🇺🇸🌎📶📱

$ASTS $META: 🚨META HOSTS AST SPACEMOBILE TEAM AT MPK OFFICE IN SAN FRANCISCO FOR COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP @Meta X @AST_SpaceMobile 🤝 + End-to-end journey + Product vision + User experience + Network architecture + GTM strategy + Technical integration for D2D voice, video, messaging, and Meta AI experiences

$ASTS: 🚨🇯🇵 AST SPACEMOBILE NOTIFIES FCC THAT IT RECEIVED PRELIMINARY LICENSE FROM MIC FOR SCS OPERATIONS OVER 700MHZ RAKUTEN SPECTRUM IN JAPAN Rakuten applied for experimental test license with MIC on 7/9 and received approval on 7/23. MIC's D2D formal rulemaking public comment period opened on 7/11 and will close on 8/10. Once the D2D rulemaking committee acts and MIC publishes the rules, the legal framework could become usable immediately. Rakuten will then apply for a blanket commercial license which should be approved quickly. This process is happening in parallel with CIAJ/MIC formalization of Rakuten+AST SpaceMobile J-LEO award, also expected in the month of August.

BlueBirds 9 and 10 are now successfully deployed in orbit. Two more of the world's largest commercial communications arrays have joined our growing constellation. Another step closer to the future of cellular broadband from space. With BlueBirds 11, 12, and 13 at Cape Canaveral preparing for their imminent launch, and production advancing through spacecraft 41, we continue to execute at scale. Innovation in orbit. Execution in motion. 🌎📶📱🇺🇸 #ASTSpaceMobile #Broadband #ConnectingtheUnconnected #BlueBirds

Cape Canaveral. Next stop: orbit 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 BlueBirds 12 and 13 have arrived at Cape Canaveral, joining BlueBird 11 ahead of their imminent launch. These trucks carry more than satellites. They carry years of engineering, innovation, and execution. Production continues through BlueBird 38. Built in Texas. Cellular Broadband from space. A new layer of connectivity. 🌎📶📱🇺🇸 Build. Ship. Launch. Repeat. #ASTSpaceMobile #Broadband #ConnectingtheUnconnected #BlueBirds

@spacanpanman Thank you.

Built Differently. Engineering at scale unfolded in orbit. This is cellular broadband from space. BlueBird 10 has successfully deployed in low Earth orbit. Adding another of the world's largest communications array - the size of a tennis court - to our growing constellation. BlueBirds 8 and 9 are next. Engineered for broadband connectivity to everyday smartphones. No special hardware. No modifications. Cellular broadband from space. 🌎📶📱🇺🇸 #ASTSpaceMobile #Broadband #ConnectingtheUnconnected #BlueBirds

$ASTS: 🚨🇪🇺 THE FRONTRUNNER FOR THE EUROPEAN SATELLITE SPECTRUM RESERVED FOR EU DIRECT TO MOBILE SATELLITES SERVICE PROVIDERS IS SATELLITE CONNECT EUROPE - BLOOMBERG ➡️ Satellite Connect Europe is joint venture between Vodafone and US satellite firm AST SpaceMobile with partnerships with other European operators Relevant excerpt from the 7/15/26 Bloomberg article: In May, the European Commission proposed reserving a third of the 2 GHz frequency band suitable for direct-to-device satellite communication services for government use, which can only be served by IRIS² (the EU-backed satellite network in low-Earth orbit still under development). Another third would be for commercial services offered by EU-based entrants and the rest available to all bidders, domestic and foreign. Brussels says the framework will foster competition in direct-to-device satellite communications while protecting critical infrastructure and avoiding overdependence on foreign providers. “It does make sense for the commission to be moving in this direction. The situation has moved significantly since the last time they were dealing with the issue, ten years ago,” says Rodolfo Zontini, manager at Brussels-based consultancy logos public affairs. “The EU now has a program dedicated to secure connectivity, which they didn’t have a decade ago.” But SpaceX feels singled out. Speaking at a Brussels conference in June, company executives accused the bloc’s regulators of dividing the available spectrum into “virtually unusable sub-divided parts,” arguing the proposal is inconsistent with international spectrum rules and unfairly targets Starlink, SpaceX’s internet-from-space business. SpaceX also warned that reserving spectrum for IRIS² could leave Europe without a globally competitive direct-to-device satellite service. The unusually forceful criticism highlights how spectrum has become another front in the US-EU debate over Europe’s technological sovereignty. Starlink already provides satellite broadband across much of the continent, and has partnered with Deutsche Telekom on direct-to-device services because it lacks the spectrum rights to operate independently. Deutsche Telekom also has a SpaceX partnership in the US via its controlling stake in T-Mobile. Europe is planning to shell out billions to build IRIS² through a consortium led by SES, Eutelsat and Hispasat to reduce reliance on non-European providers for critical communications infrastructure. That’s, at this stage, mostly an ambition: The constellation won’t enter service until 2029 and will be initially focused on broadband, rather than direct-to-device connectivity. The frontrunner for the European satellite spectrum reserved for EU direct to mobile satellite service providers is Luxembourg-headquartered Satellite Connect Europe, a joint venture between Vodafone and US satellite firm AST SpaceMobile with partnerships with other European operators. Ironically, the 50/50 ownership structure technically makes it a non-European company. Under the proposal currently discussed in Brussels, it would need to adjust its ownership structure. — Paula Doeneckeand Gian Volpicelli

If solar power in space is harnessed for useful work at scale, the value of that will far exceed the Earth economy, because all of Earth civilization uses much less than a trillionth of our Sun’s power

Si A, la richesse suit l'énergie captée, et si B, SpaceX ouvre seule un réservoir un milliard de fois supérieur, alors la conclusion tombe d'elle-même : comparer SpaceX à la richesse terrestre est une erreur de catégorie. La Terre cesse d'être le dénominateur. « Plus que le reste
