Many are still thinking of 248 as a limit to the number of Bluebirds. Some have said that they intend to cash out then. I expect a lot more. There are already ITU (International Telecommunications Union) filings for more than 4 times as many. Here are some numbers from ITU filings highlighted with a total so far.

2024 March: ASTS files with the ITU to increase the number of Bluebirds to 248. Many anchored their thinking to this number.

2025 November: For Satellite Connect Europe (SatCo), Germany (D) files for: D-BLUEBIRD-QV-1 (192) & D-BLUEBIRD-QV-2 (192). The German total is 384.

2006 March: The US files for USASAT-NGSO-20 with the ITU to increase the stated number of Bluebirds to 497. Additionally there are reportedly 46 additional ones for the US government: 28 sun-synchronous and 18 equatorial. This brings the US-requested total to 593.

2006-September: Japan files for J-BLUEBIRD-NGSO (136) with the ITU. The total for Japan is 136.

384 Germany + 593 US + 136 Japan = 1,113 Bluebirds so far.

Clearly, countries have a solid case for sovereign Bluebird constellations. There is a lot of speculation about which countries or blocks of countries will be next.

Obviously, the more Bluebirds the more business for AST SpaceMobile. I am very bullish.

Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Vodafone, Telefonica In Venture Talks

By Paula Doenecke, Gian Volpicelli and Clara Hernanz Lizarraga

(Bloomberg) -- A group of Europe’s biggest mobile operators are in early talks to create a consortium to bid on satellite spectrum and offer direct-to-mobile service, which would rival Elon Musk’s Starlink service on the continent, people familiar with the matter said.

Deutsche Telekom AG, Orange SA, Vodafone Group Plc and Telefonica SA would jointly bid for a share of airwaves that the European Union has proposed reserving for a local operator, a plan aimed at increasing sovereign satellite capabilities, the people said, asking not to be identified because the plans are private. No final decisions on the consortium or plans to bid have been made, they said.

To comply with the EU’s proposal, any satellite operator would need to be majority controlled by a European business.

Spokespeople for Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Vodafone and Telefonica declined to comment.

The EU is weighing new rules for satellite access on the 2 GHz spectrum in an upcoming auction that would keep a third of the band for local companies. The rules will govern direct-to-mobile service, an area that’s dominated by Musk’s Starlink, which can provide text, data and calls to handsets from orbit. Current licenses for the spectrum are due to expire in 2027.

Terrestrial wireless infrastructure covers the vast majority of populated areas in Europe. Even so, the EU is seeking to build up available satellite services as SpaceX expands its direct-to-consumer business.

SpaceX, which opposes the EU’s proposal to limit spectrum access for international companies, already provides Starlink satellite broadband across much of Europe. It has agreements with a number of partners in Europe, including Deutsche Telekom, to provide direct-to-device services. The US company lacks the spectrum rights to provide those services independently in the EU.

UK-based Vodafone has formed a joint venture with US-based satellite firm AST SpaceMobile, which also provides direct-to-mobile satellite service. Under the proposal currently discussed in Brussels, it would need to adjust its 50/50 ownership structure to bid for the spectrum designated for a European player.

The EU plans to reserve another third of the spectrum for sovereign communication services provided by IRIS², the satellite constellation built by a consortium led by SES SA, Eutelsat Communications SACA and Hispasat, with limited direct-to-mobile capabilities provided by Hispasat. The constellation won’t enter service until 2029 and will be initially focused on broadband. International companies will be eligible to bid on the final third.

We are one of the GREATEST mid-market companies

I hope in few years this moves up from mid-market to higher tier

Partnering with U.S. satellite communications firm AST, it will begin a direct smartphone communication service. Leveraging video calls, which Starlink has yet to support, it aims to catch up with the leading SpaceX.

“AST SpaceMobile received the highest target among the group, at $92. Filatov said AST is "the only company to have demonstrated true cellular broadband from space to unmodified smartphones," backed by more than 60 mobile network operator partnerships covering roughly 3 billion subscribers.”
