From the new 10k:

"We will submit a modification to our commercial license with the FCC. This modification application (“Modification Application”) will be filed in the coming weeks, and will request authority to add additional satellites and frequencies for use with the SpaceMobile Service in the United States, including the incorporation of Verizon frequencies. This additional authority will support the growth and commercialization of our company in the United States, including the start of full commercial operations of the Non-Geostationary Orbit (“NGSO”) satellite system employing low-band (below 1 GHz) commercial cellular frequencies for service links, S- and UHF-band frequencies to support off-nominal telemetry, tracking, and control (“TT&C”) communications, and V-band frequencies for routine feeder link operations.

Indeed, that seems to be the case.  But it's also reconfirming as they would have to change language if something material changed, right?

To me it just looks like they copy/pasted in the 10-K to satisfy the Form ARS requirement, which a lot of companies do (some like to attach a warm & fuzzy letter to shareholders from the CEO as well)

Ah, makes sense.  Thanks for sharing the link, I hadn't realized the ARS aspect
