$ASTS: RAST (Rakuten + AST) has been selected as the recipient of the J-LEO award (New issuance decision pdf uploaded)
This one seems final and definitive since the website has changed from "Selection Results". But we'll see when the company decides to PR it.

$ASTS | Satellite Connect Europe | Barcelona | @AbelAvellan
The Satellite Connect Europe team hosted Spain's Secretary General for Telecommunications, Digital Infrastructures and Digital Security, Matías González Martín, Julia Criado, Juan Santaella, and other representatives from SETELECO. Secretaría de Estado de Telecomunicaciones e Infraestructuras Digitales, together with Spain's mobile network operators, at AST SpaceMobile’s state-of-the-art facility in Barcelona.
And we were joined by AST SpaceMobile Chairman and CEO Abel Avellan, who brought invaluable insights into how AST SpaceMobile's satellites paired with Satellite Connect Europe’s ground stations can transform connectivity for millions.
The discussion was around the shared ambition for Spain to remain at the forefront of telecommunications innovation, and in particular the role of direct-to-device and the closer integration of terrestrial and satellite networks.

Just would like to say that the Mystic Alerts Act has been recently signed by the President. Excellent news and well done to all involved.
$ASTS: @RepPfluger proposes new legislation integrating satellites into U.S. emergency alert systems. Pfluger’s proposal, known as the Mystic Alerts Act, seeks to integrate satellite networks into wireless emergency alert processes. He is also ‘very proud’ of AST SpaceMobile.

$ASTS $VOD: Europe's sovereignty dreams
Satellite Connect Europe is @VodafoneGroup's joint venture with @AST_SpaceMobile, another US-based satellite company. Yet, Boddy argued it is fundamentally different to how Starlink or Amazon operates, noting it performs much better on the sovereignty front. Crucially, he argued that the core network and the radio infrastructure are on the ground and located in Europe, controlled by the JV, which is based in Luxembourg.
Still, Boddy seemed to acknowledge there is appetite for a fully homegrown service. "It's not possible today for Europe to have a sovereign satellite constellation," he said, adding "it may be possible in the future, that's something I'm sure every European would desire."

IonQ announced it has agreed to acquire @ElisityInc to accelerate zero trust for the quantum era. The acquisition brings together IonQ’s post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum key distribution (QKD) capabilities with Elisity's enterprise Zero Trust technology platform.
Enterprises face two overlapping priorities: containing attacks that operate at machine speed and preparing to protect sensitive information against future quantum threats. A recent GAO report (files.gao.gov/reports/GAO-27…) found that none of the 24 federal agencies it audited had fully addressed selected post-quantum cryptography practices, while Juniper Research (juniperresearch.com/press/po…) projects that only 27% of global enterprises will be quantum-ready by 2035. Together, these trends underscore the need to prepare now for the quantum era.
IonQ will add an expanded cybersecurity platform that uncovers and protects against both present LLM and emerging quantum threats.
“With Elisity and its team as part of IonQ, we will be well positioned to help customers protect critical infrastructure and enterprise networks throughout the transition to the quantum era. Elisity will bring proven enterprise policy enforcement scale and deployment experience to our quantum security strategy and will give IonQ a strong growth platform to serve customers,” said IonQ’s Chairman and CEO @NiccoloDeMasi.
