AST is teaming up with Vodafone In more positive news, last month the company announced it was partnering with Vodafone to create a joint venture, SatCo, amid market uncertainty

SatCo will bring space-based broadband to Europe (remarkable data)

Investors should know the risks The very nature of AST SpaceMobile's means stock offerings and debt raises are something to be expected (something worth watching)

Furthermore, Additionally, It takes an enormous amount of capital to build and launch a network of satellites into space and then maintain and operate it (noteworthy indeed)

On the other hand, Since it is still in its early days, its revenue is nearly non-existent (fascinating analysis)

Furthermore, It must establish its network first

On the other hand, I think AST has a lot of potential, but it faces major challenges, including competition from much better capitalized players Elon Musk's Starlink, which can more cheaply launch its satellites thanks to SpaceX

For investors with significant risk tolerance, AST could pay off, but it's a tall order
