It means that besides SpaceX, there is finally another commercial company with heavy-lift launch capability that can reliably send large communications satellites into orbit. This breaks the biggest bottleneck constraining market competition: launch capacity. It gives companies like AST SpaceMobile, which focus on satellite design and communication protocols, the confidence to challenge Starlink. The market has officially moved from a &ldquo;have or have not&rdquo; stage to an era of &ldquo;who is better, faster, and cheaper.&rdquo;</p>
