Cool stuff, but it sure looks like they shipped a premature version asap to front-run the competition.

AST SpaceMobile is getting ready for commercial ops this year with „full broadband“ 5G satellites.

For the record, I am not affiliated with them. I just need that kind of service desperately.

Perhaps. The awesome part is the launch capabilities that allow them to do that.
