@Defiantclient2@AST_SpaceMobile Ok I figured it out.
The social media person for AST associated J-Leo with Rakuten.
This crew was here for a J-Leo meeting.
Equivalent of ATT beta starting in 2026 but FirstNet not starting until later.
Think this is correct?
@Defiantclient2@AST_SpaceMobile@Rakuten_Mobile@RakutenSymphony Was interested your take, I agree first time material items were removed from a tweet. But, they didn’t remove their last tweet which made me wonder.
Is it possible Rakuten could have Beta service but J-Leo is something for 2027 because it’s more of a FirstNet type service (gov)
@spacanpanman Unfortunate how long these take to come to fruition. Would be nice to get the “bid” now to help accelerate instead of down the road when things are already humming along.
@kingtutcap Not seeing much wrong with what he is saying.
If you miss deadlines at work do you continue to say they are to come or do you have to have an explanation?
@CatSE___ApeX___ Am I right in saying that unless we hear from the company we don’t know if BB11 will ever be operational or not? Like BB7 most were hoping they could unfold to bar or greater and run the same propulsion testing before deorbit.
@RocketTank123 Is this not bearish for AST that new filings happening with SpaceX and T-Mobile? Especially partnering with L3 who is set to be big Golden Dome arm.
@Defiantclient2@ATT@AST_SpaceMobile@AmazonLeo Why does it seem the AST connection in everything just always happens to be omitted by “experts”. Surely they can’t just forget the DA in place with ATT and AST.

@saso_equity @kingtutcap You don’t even know whose policy it will on. Yes they had insurance for their sats but Blue Orgin could also be on the hook since the property was in their care, custody, and control (Bailee Coverage). Unless you are reading the actual insurance contracts then you have no idea.
