My latest: I talked to Abel Avellan, whose company AST SpaceMobile is racing the likes of SpaceX and Amazon to a new market: using satellites to let you use your cell phone wherever you are--and to connect the over 2 billion people across the world who don't have regular internet access.

Big step forward for public safety 🚨
AST SpaceMobile has received FCC authorization to test our space-based cellular broadband network on Band 14 — the dedicated spectrum for first responders on FirstNet Built with AT&T.
We will begin beta testing mission via our BlueBirds, no special gear needed.

A well deserved congrats to the Blue Origin team from $ASTS @ast-science.com this morning. Very exciting to see real competition in the heavy launch category. I can't wait to see 8 Bluebirds go up in a single mission. 🚀

Latest short position for $ASTS shows some modest covering in the second half of November. It is worth noting the HUGE increase in short position since the run up through August. Big jump clearly pushed the price down. Will they be able to cover under $40?

Here is the key detail I was looking for. Service is authorized but must comply with current OOBE limits. Waiver request is deferred.
Key paragraph describing the OOBE rules for Starlink D2C performance.

Our favorite Swedish cat found a new STA for $ASTS to test BB1-5 using Vodafone spectrum in Turkey! Excellent news. Remember all the earthquakes in Turkey and loss of cellular coverage? I do. The need is real. Huge land mass as well.
