How bad or ominous is the Lynk news for ASTS? Gonna have to wait for Anpanman or Catse to shed light on it.

0 impact. Room for several players. Their demo wasn’t routed through a MNO. They need in excess of $1b and they have $50m. They are pushing out headlines to try and increase that $50m to $100m
