$ASTS: 🇯🇵 AST SpaceMobile's success in Japan was enabled through the formation of a joint venture w/ local strategic partner Rakuten. This thoughtful approach addressed the nation's requirements for national security and sovereignty. 🇪🇺This approach was directly modeled after AST's Satellite Connect Europe JV w/ Vodafone, which counts the top European MNOs as partners and is well positioned to win 2GHz S-Band spectrum rights in the coming months. 🇺🇸AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile recently announced a US joint venture that will pool spectrum resources and infrastructure that will be powered by AST SpaceMobile. Expect more regional joint ventures to be formed and powered by AST SpaceMobile. 🇧🇷 Brazil,🇲🇽 Mexico and 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia/Middle East are likely next.

$ASTS 🚨 Deal Win Confirmed! Rakuten & $ASTS joint venture wins Japan's J-LEO satellite contract. Total funding: ¥150B (~$926M) over 3 years 📡🚀 That is ONE government contract. Many many more to come. It's super obvious every government globally will want at least 1 SpaceX alternative. A government can not rely on 1 man and 1 company. Also: everyone with 2 brain cells gets that the local telcom lobby folks are powerful and will fight everything to the death where they don't get a cut. I think the smartest thing $ASTS got from the start is that partnering makes their opportunity much much bigger. 1 + 1 = 3

$ASTS just received another major component delivery to accelerate Block-2 BlueBird satellite production. BlueBirds 11, 12, and 13 are next to ship with satellites in production through BlueBird 37 as AST SpaceMobile builds world’s first space-based cellular broadband network. https://t.co/XGRyLJwaDg

$ASTS:🚨🇯🇵 RAKUTEN-LED GROUP SET FOR SUBSIDIES TO BUILD JAPAN'S ANSWER TO STARLINK - NIKKEI Government readies $900m in support for homegrown satellite-to-mobile access TOKYO -- The Japanese government is expected to provide 150 billion yen ($926 million) in subsidies to a Rakuten Group-led consortium that will develop a homegrown satellite communications network, Nikkei has learned. A formal decision by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is expected soon. The subsidies will be provided over the course of three years. Rakuten, whose businesses include wireless communications and e-commerce, will partner with U.S. satellite communications company AST SpaceMobile to build a direct-to-mobile satellite network in Japan. The government will subsidize equipment procurement, as well as the establishment of ground facilities for launching and controlling a constellation of multiple low-orbit satellites. The ministry saw an economic security need to support the creation of a Japanese-operated net
