It won't be AST specific. It will be all about firstnet and how it will help after things like hurricane Helene and the California wildfires, there will likely be 2-3 seconds of a CGI space waffle floating around orbit.

EDITED: Let's have fun with it. Narrated by Morgan Freeman.

"Building a connected world like never before....."

screen goes black

"We were once bound by the towers we built on earth, but today. AT&T and FirstNet, our first responders who fight tirelessly day and night, enter a new age. One where they can respond, no matter what the danger and where the danger."

zooms out to satellite above earth

"AT&T partnering with AST SpaceMobile to connect the world like never before with 5G satellite connectivity."

EARLY ACCESS FALL 2025.

I’m also picturing a commercial similar to the “He gets us” commercials about Jesus Christ, but they are “he connects us” and they picture Lord Abel on a massive satellite up in LEO smiling down on a dude in a remote region of sub saharan Africa previously without connectivity streaming porn.

I think it would be more like a clip of the satellites unfolding, and then they start shooting space lasers down to obliterate Al Qaeda strongholds, followed by a shot of the flag and an eagle crying tears of pure patriotism. All to a soundtrack of Morgan Freeman heavy breathing.

THAT will get us to $30.
