$ASTS has narrow beams. And a wide field of view. The competition has narrow FoV and wide beams. For example Lynk has 19 lowband beams per sat. ASTS has 2800 in lowband, 10s of thousands in midband, and more in c-band. Is this good or bad?. 1/n.

Trying hard to discern if this is a real filing or if Space-X has totally lost their mind. Regulatory approval is not conquered on the battlefield of x against the investor community. It is achieved by designing RF technology to be regulatory fit. Parody by their own hands. 🤦🏼.
In its latest FCC filing, SpaceX is saying $ASTS is a meme-stock and their investors are spreading misinformation ☠️ . “Foreign investors and partners in AST’s meme-stock are stopping at nothing to slow progress. AST and its investors continue their scorched-Earth campaign to

Ouch. This burns. Poor T-Mobile. FCC today reiterates the rule of Aggregate (yes Tim) PFD level that T-Mobile and Space-X want to change. This means Space-X and T-Mobile can not apply for commercial service. While starting today AST, Verizon and AT&T can.
