$ASTS - TIM Brazil 3 Year STA is now an ACT. Both low and mid band frequencies are approved. The STA length if 2.5 years, so I expect it explains why there is mid-band even though AST currently supports low band.
$ASTS A few things to add: 1. IEZ, Brisanet and Unifique all were approved of their STAs and it was made Acts by Brazil. 2. The STA will consists of 10 MHz channels of 713 MHz and 768 MHz. 3. TIM Brazil STA is approved, but the Act hasn't came yet. xitter.cf/spacanpanman/status/21…

$ASTS - I don't believe this is a typo. It looks like AST is at minimum providing itself with regulatory flexibility for multiple market uses of its satellite constellation. If it's not clear, the key is "Service Link" vs "Feeder Link". Speculate away.

There is historical precedent to this. Here is a recent SpaceX regulatory filing asking for dual use between service and feeder link for these high frequency spectrum links.

In the past, AST would clearly specify high frequency used by its satellite to gateway link as Feeder Link.

$ASTS - As promised, here is my latest report on AST SpaceMobile, specifically in two countries: Chile and Brazil. I will start off with Chile as it's a single update. On October 15th, Chile's SUBTEL established into a decree ASTs authorization to use specific bands in Chile...

Expect some more news on TIM renewing their STA. What I wonder is whether TIMs and these three regional MNOs are also partnered? If yes, it would mean TIM subscribers will have roaming access to AST in these areas of Brazil. I am leaning yes to this question, but let's see..

One correction - I shared the wrong image for Unifique and TIM link up. In the document, TIM indicates a "Broader negotiations between the companies involved" regarding 700 MHz. Can this relate to AST?
