AST SpaceMobile stock rebounds, but Scotiabank’s Starlink warning keeps ASTS in play

The call matters now because the market is trying to price a business that has to spend heavily before it can sell much. In direct-to-cell, the first network to show it can deliver reliable coverage — and lock in carriers at scale — could wind up controlling the most profitable lanes.
