And Starlink. ASTs basically is working on broadband cellular connectivity. Both ASTs and Leo have a ways to go though.

Of course ASTS needs a way to launch their satellites. India’s ISRO launched their previous satellite successfully in December. I don’t remember if they have used spacex before. Of course, you just can’t trust Bezos and Musk though.

Oops, we launched your satellie but it’s the wrong orbit!
