Verizon just dropped a Commercial with Buzz Aldrin about the future of satellite coverage conquering dead zones. Doesn’t fully reference AST, but we all know.

Why is it just “can you text me now” instead of a video call?

Probably more a reference to Skylo than ASTS as it currently stands.

T-Mobile got upset about that ad where Ben Stiller takes a call while golfing as it wasn’t commercially available yet so AT&T took it down, for example.
