AST SpaceMobile: SpaceX Just Handed Us T-Mobile

AST SpaceMobile launched Bluebird 11, 12 & 13 this week.

SpaceX's direct-to-cell bombshell changes everything for $ASTS.

In this episode, Anpanman recaps the recent AST SpaceMobile launch of Bluebird satellites 11, 12, and 13, and shares highlights from the Space Mob investor meetup in Titusville. He breaks down SpaceX's newly announced direct-to-cell ambitions and what they mean for AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, arguing that SpaceX's aggressive stance against carriers only strengthens AST SpaceMobile's position with mobile network operators globally. Anpanman also discusses new spectrum allocations in Brazil, Europe, and Kenya, along with FCC and regulatory dynamics around EchoStar's licenses, the upcoming ASTS earnings call on Monday, and why patience is required for the T-Mobile and Rakuten J-LEO partnerships to materialize. Throughout, he emphasizes staying unleveraged in ASTS stock ahead of major catalysts.
