Welcome back to our four-part series on the ambitious journey of space-based cellular broadband. In this second episode, we turn our attention to the weaknesses that AST SpaceMobile faces as it aims to connect the world. While the company’s mission is groundbreaking, it comes with significant challenges. We'll explore the financial strain of high operating expenses and cash burn, technological delays that have already pushed back key satellite launches, and the daunting regulatory hurdles that can slow down expansion into global markets.
