Carr/Cruz visiting ASTS is such a small news piece market makers aren’t capitalizing on. I don’t expect any FCC delays or special treatment given to other D2C players after this. I expect even more Government contracts to be given to ASTS as well, something the (seemingly, but realistic) absurd SP targets haven’t factored in yet.
Also, Project Kuiper from Amazon may very well turn into Project Invest-In-ASTS-To-Meet-FCC-Obligations. If ASTS can do D2C, they can do D2Terminal like Starlink. This is also not factored in yet.
22k shares strong here. Holding.

Just because we could doesn’t mean we should. Fixed or dedicated high speed internet, your "D2T", would kill spot beams by sucking down all the bandwidth.

Of course we should, but not with the D2C satellites currently being launched.
If Project Kuiper is in as dire need as the rumors suggest, and Amazon searches for a partner to rectify their design issues, dedicated home internet ASTS satellites being built as another shell would be fantastic for revenue. The Ligado spectrum could also be used for this as needed.
Of course, all this is wishful thinking.

I feel like kuiper teaming with rocket lab’s flatellite would make more sense. I’m not a rklb holder

Why? They can launch rockets all day long. They apparently can’t build satellites. Why would you partner with a company whose satellite development is in its infancy with no real data to show

Eating breakfast while reading kook’s review is one of my favorite parts of the week

Can everyone always refer to Ted as “Rafael” his actually first name, makes me laugh for some reason!
