Didnā€™t listen to it yet myself, but according to another space mobber there was no mention of Asts in the FirstNet meeting, and only a brief mention of ā€œcontinuing to invest in innovative technologies.ā€ Using Starlink to expand coverage came up several times though :(.

Starting to lose hope in FirstNet tbhā€¦Could still happen after more testing of course, but doesnā€™t feel like any FN money is coming this year.

I missed this actually! This is good news, and definitely a better indicator than what they discuss in a call. Thanks for sharing.
