AST SpaceMobile said it is working with Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica and Vodafone to explore a joint bid for Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) spectrum in Europe. The collaboration aims to accelerate integration of AST SpaceMobile’s space-based cellular broadband network and expand coverage in underserved areas. The companies plan to coordinate spectrum access and service deployment while keeping data handling and service control within European jurisdiction.
The alliance could improve service for more than 500 million mobile subscribers across the operators’ customer bases.
Pomerantz LLP announced a class-action lawsuit against AST SpaceMobile on behalf of investors who purchased the company’s securities between March 4, 2025, and July 15, 2026. The lawsuit alleges violations of federal securities laws.
On October 19, 2026, Boost Mobile founder Peter Adderton said he is a buyer of ASTS stock. He speculated that major telecom companies may seek to acquire AST SpaceMobile to compete with SpaceX.
