AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTS) has announced significant updates to its licensing with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for its space-based cellular broadband network, V-Band application. These updates are critical as AST SpaceMobile moves forward with its unique initiative to offer broadband internet services directly to smartphones around the globe.

Scott Wisniewski, Chief Strategy Officer, stated, "With these updates, AST SpaceMobile reaffirms its commitment to aligning our satellite network development closely with U.S. strategic interests. Our roots and operations in the U.S. underscore our dedication to American innovation.

Furthermore, the company's recent strategic investments and partnerships with industry giants such as AT&T, Google, and Vodafone, alongside a contract with the U.S. Government, solidify its positioning for a global rollout.
