New section needed? edit

Maybe a "See also" or "Competition" section. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_phone#Low_Earth_orbit covers some other options. 206.39.41.14 (talk) 18:52, 28 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

I added a couple of navboxes to connect this article with others in the space (pun intended). 190.104.150.30 (talk) 04:44, 15 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Description of development expenditures edit

It seems strange to me that the article mentions net losses. I have not deleted that, as of this talk comment, because it is true; in fact, I edited it for clarity. Still, the statement that an early-stage satellite constellation isn't making money seems somewhat negative and irrelevant. The statement as written is irrelevant because technology hardware companies regularly lay out capital expenditures in order to build capital assets that can later generate revenue, and AST SpaceMobile isn't unique in this regard (eg, a partially-built electric vehicle factory is a money-loser). I think the best thing would be to remove the statement about earnings/losses from the 10K and instead mention that the company earns no significant income without having yet built its constellation (this is also from the 10K). 190.104.150.30 (talk) 15:27, 15 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
