$ASTS Everyone keeps expecting this to happen this year. I said at the start of the year, the launch schedule is ambitious. But, as I became aware of last month, after reading a Seeking Alpha post, the 50 MNO's we're working with are putting in the ground infrastructure now to work with Asts Sats. That's a major investment for the future, and not one that will be torn down on a whim if all the sats are not launched this year.
People should be looking ahead for the next 2-3 years. I'm sure our 50 partners are, and they are not going to tear down all their infrastructure and start all over again with a competitor with inferior tech, just because they might get it done a little quicker. We have the confidence of the majority of the cellular industry, and they are working with us to get this done, and it will be. We're building a global network with them, and it's gonna take time, and everyone that's in from the ground up will be paid handsomely. All the best.
