AST SpaceMobile Pushes FCC for Expanded Spectrum as BlueBird Satellites Ship
ASTS sits 26% above its 52-week low of $47.5.
Summary
AST SpaceMobile's CEO met with the FCC chair to advocate for broader direct-to-device spectrum, including lower 6 GHz and a review of the 1675–1695 MHz auction. This regulatory push could expand the company's addressable market and improve service quality. Operationally, the company shipped BlueBird 14–16 to Cape Canaveral for upcoming launches and continues production of BlueBird 50 in Midland, advancing toward a ~45-satellite constellation. These developments follow the Q2 report showing a $1.30B backlog and full funding for 90 satellites. The combination of regulatory momentum and tangible launch progress supports the company's path to commercial service.
