Guess where $ASTS landed again and what do you think it might do

$ASTS: 🚨🇪🇺 THE FRONTRUNNER FOR THE EUROPEAN SATELLITE SPECTRUM RESERVED FOR EU DIRECT TO MOBILE SATELLITES SERVICE PROVIDERS IS SATELLITE CONNECT EUROPE - BLOOMBERG

➡️ Satellite Connect Europe is joint venture between Vodafone and US satellite firm AST SpaceMobile with partnerships with other European operators

Relevant excerpt from the 7/15/26 Bloomberg article:

In May, the European Commission proposed reserving a third of the 2 GHz frequency band suitable for direct-to-device satellite communication services for government use, which can only be served by IRIS² (the EU-backed satellite network in low-Earth orbit still under development). Another third would be for commercial services offered by EU-based entrants and the rest available to all bidders, domestic and foreign.

Brussels says the framework will foster competition in
direct-to-device satellite communications while protecting critical infrastructure and avoiding overdependence on foreign providers.

“It does make sense for the commission to be moving in this direction. The situation has moved significantly since the last time they were dealing with the issue, ten years ago,” says Rodolfo Zontini, manager at Brussels-based consultancy logos public affairs. “The EU now has a program dedicated to secure connectivity, which they didn’t have a decade ago.”

But SpaceX feels singled out.

Speaking at a Brussels conference in June, company executives accused the bloc’s regulators of dividing the available spectrum into “virtually unusable sub-divided parts,” arguing the proposal is inconsistent with international spectrum rules and unfairly targets Starlink, SpaceX’s internet-from-space business.

SpaceX also warned that reserving spectrum for IRIS² could leave Europe without a globally competitive direct-to-device satellite service.

The unusually forceful criticism highlights how spectrum
has become another front in the US-EU debate over Europe’s technological sovereignty. Starlink already provides satellite broadband across much of the continent, and has partnered with Deutsche Telekom on
direct-to-device services because it lacks the spectrum rights to operate independently. Deutsche Telekom also has a SpaceX partnership in the US via its controlling stake in T-Mobile.

Europe is planning to shell out billions to build IRIS²
through a consortium led by SES, Eutelsat and Hispasat to reduce reliance on non-European providers for critical communications infrastructure.

That’s, at this stage, mostly an ambition: The constellation won’t enter service until 2029 and will be initially focused on broadband, rather than direct-to-device connectivity.

The frontrunner for the European satellite spectrum reserved for EU direct to mobile satellite service providers is Luxembourg-headquartered Satellite Connect Europe, a joint venture between Vodafone and US satellite firm AST SpaceMobile with partnerships with other European operators.

Ironically, the 50/50 ownership structure technically makes it a non-European company. Under the proposal currently discussed in Brussels, it would need to adjust its ownership structure. — Paula Doeneckeand Gian Volpicelli

Built Differently.
Engineering at scale unfolded in orbit.
This is cellular broadband from space.

BlueBird 10 has successfully deployed in low Earth orbit. Adding another of the world's largest communications array - the size of a tennis court - to our growing constellation.
BlueBirds 8 and 9 are next.

Engineered for broadband connectivity to everyday smartphones. No special hardware. No modifications. Cellular broadband from space. 🌎📶📱🇺🇸

BB8 has finally settled out. BB9 and BB10 are moving up slightly. If you look at BB6, right as the drag started up the company announced it was unfolded, which meant it was unfolded a day or two earlier and they tested everything was operation. See for yourself.

[ObjectiveRe🅰️lity @BiggustheRoman]

@DrAaronThomason Awesome - thanks for the update 👍

@teslaownersSV $ASTS must have big PR coming!

This is Abraham Lincoln. It has spent over 200 days at sea in support of Epic Fury and the close up is of it’s AN/SPS-49 radar

The US Navy maintains the AN/SPS-49 on approximately 37 larre surface vessels. As does many of her allies.
