In this episode, Anpanman breaks down AST SpaceMobile's Q2 earnings call and explains why the market's negative reaction misses the real story. He opens with the surprise hire of Ozzy Ramos, a longtime vice chair of investment banking at UBS and Barclays, calling it a huge vote of confidence in ASTS stock and a signal of major strategic moves ahead. Anpanman digs into the spectrum disclosures, including C-band capability built into mid-band Bluebird satellites, the ASIC chip's ability to process low-band, mid-band, and C-band signals, and the plan to bring 100 MHz of usable spectrum to the US direct-to-cell network. He also covers the confirmed US joint venture with AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, ongoing testing with Deutsche Telekom, and recent FCC commentary on global S-band spectrum rights tied to EchoStar's pending sale to SpaceX. The episode closes with a look at AST SpaceMobile's $1.3 billion contracted backlog, new government awards tied to Golden Dome and Arsenal Freedom, the Japan J-LEO sovereign satellite opportunity with Rakuten, and reiterated 2026 revenue guidance of $150 to $200 million despite the Blue Origin launch delay. Anpanman also reacts to Cantor Fitzgerald's price target upgrade and Piper Sandler naming ASTS its favorite space stock. 00:00 Introduction 01:22 Wall Street veteran Ozzy Ramos joins AST SpaceMobile 09:55 C-band spectrum coming to mid-band Bluebirds 14:34 ASIC chip already supports low, mid and C-band 15:21 100 MHz of usable US spectrum explained 18:45 International S-band rights and FCC sovereignty questions 22:06 US joint venture: AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and a 4th player 25:44 AI compute and orbital data centers 29:01 La…","meta_description":"AST SpaceMobile's Q2 call revealed a $1.3B backlog, 100 MHz of US spectrum, and a shocking Wall Street hire.
