Overall Company Progress on Commitments
The Commitment Progress Tracker evaluates how well a company is delivering on its promises by comparing management’s stated commitments from press releases and earnings calls to actual progress updates. This tool categorizes commitments into clear ratings such as “On Track” or “Exceeded Expectations” while flagging potential risks where execution may be falling short.
By highlighting progress and warning signs, the Commitment Progress Tracker provides retail investors with actionable insights to assess a company’s performance. With a sliding 18-month window of data, it serves as a valuable educational resource to support informed investment research.
Cluster: Service Activation and Market Rollout
Commitment: August 15, 2025: Initiate a limited, noncontinuous SpaceMobile Service in targeted markets, including the United States, in H2 2025 (updates and narrows earlier “nationwide intermittent” 2025 language), contingent on regulatory approvals and initial 25-satellite deployment.
🟡 Partially Met | Certainty: 80%
Analysis: The company reaffirmed plans to start limited, noncontinuous service in targeted markets in H2 2025 and narrowed scope from earlier “nationwide intermittent” language. Regulatory groundwork (FCC STA) and integration with U.S. MNOs are in place, and FM1 shipment is planned. However, there is no evidence of 25 satellites on orbit or commercial activation yet; launch cadence must materialize in H2 2025.
Progress:* A recent update from 2025-08-15 (MD&A) confirms expectation to initiate limited, noncontinuous service in targeted markets including the U.S., superseding broader 2025 “nationwide intermittent” language.* A recent update from 2025-08-11 notes preparation for 2025 U.S. deployment, but this broader scope is narrowed by the 2025-08-15 guidance.* Earlier evidence from 2025-05-12 highlights planned activation of initial capabilities and launch cadence every 1–2 months through 2026.* Earlier evidence from 2025-01-30 confirms FCC STA for testing with AT&T and Verizon and U.S. gateway installations underway.
Commitment: August 15, 2025: Achieve continuous SpaceMobile coverage across key markets by late 2026 with approximately 45–60 satellites, aligning key-market targets while global continuity may require more assets.
🟡 Partially Met | Certainty: 75%
Analysis: Multiple updates align on a late-2026 timeline and a 45–60 satellite target for key markets, though the 2025-08-15 MD&A also references ~90 satellites for continuous coverage in key markets, creating mild inconsistency. Manufacturing scale-up and financing are supportive, but launches in 2025 must ramp for this to remain on track. Recent guidance generally supersedes earlier broader claims.
Progress:* A recent update from 2025-08-15 (MD&A) reiterates continuous coverage across key markets; it cites ~90 satellites for continuous coverage, which partially conflicts with 45–60 guidance—this newer filing increases the implied requirement.* A recent update from 2025-08-11 confirms 45–60 satellites plan and 1–2 month launch cadence through 2026; timing consistent, volume slightly lower than the MD&A’s “~90” reference.* Earlier evidence from 2025-05-12 confirms five launches in 6–9 months and cadence through 2026 to reach target constellation.
Commitment: August 11, 2025: Prepare to deploy nationwide intermittent service in the U.S. by the end of 2025 with AT&T and Verizon, now superseded in scope by the August 15 targeted-market 2025 start.
❌ Not Met | Certainty: 95%
Analysis: The company’s 2025-08-15 guidance narrows the 2025 scope to “targeted markets,” superseding the earlier goal of nationwide intermittent service by year-end 2025. Preparation continues, but the commitment, as stated, is no longer the operative plan.
Progress:* A recent update from 2025-08-15 (MD&A) explicitly focuses on targeted-market activation in 2025, superseding the nationwide intermittent 2025 goal.* Earlier evidence from 2025-08-11 stated nationwide intermittent by end-2025; this is now narrowed.* Earlier evidence from 2025-01-30 indicated STA testing and gateway installs in support of U.S. activation.
Commitment: August 11, 2025: Deploy service in the United Kingdom, Japan, and Canada in Q1 2026 as the first international rollouts following the U.S.
🟡 Partially Met | Certainty: 80%
Analysis: Plans for Q1 2026 international rollouts are consistent with ongoing SatCo establishment in Europe, gateway deployments, and launch cadence plans. No commercial activation yet; execution depends on manufacturing and launch ramp in late 2025.
Progress:* A recent update from 2025-08-11 affirms Q1 2026 deployment for UK, Japan, and Canada following the U.S.* Earlier evidence from 2025-06-30 confirms SatCo headquarters in Luxembourg to support European commercialization (launches expected from 2026).* Earlier evidence from 2025-05-12 highlights regulatory progress and initial capability activation plans across the U.S., Europe, and Japan.
Commitment: April 30, 2025: Begin limited, noncontinuous SpaceMobile Service in 2025, subject to regulatory approvals and MNO agreements, an earlier commitment now refined by August 2025 guidance.
🟡 Partially Met | Certainty: 80%
Analysis: The April commitment is refined by August guidance to targeted markets in H2 2025. Testing under STA and MNO integrations continue; launch cadence and regulatory approvals remain gating factors.
Progress:* A recent update from 2025-08-15 confirms 2025 targeted-market start; this supersedes earlier broad language.* Earlier evidence from 2025-04-30 stated intent to begin limited service in 2025, subject to approvals.* Earlier evidence from 2025-01-30 shows STA testing with U.S. MNOs and gateways in progress.
Commitment: January 30, 2025: Target approximately 100% nationwide U.S. coverage from space with over 5,600 cells as satellites and ground integration progress under STA testing, serving as a stepping stone toward commercial activation.
🟡 Partially Met | Certainty: 85%
Analysis: STA testing and gateway buildout are progressing, and five satellites launched in 2024. However, nationwide coverage remains a target dependent on additional launches; August updates narrowed near-term activation scope to targeted markets.
Progress:* A recent update from 2025-08-15 confirms 2025 targeted-market scope, indicating nationwide coverage remains a longer-term target.* Earlier evidence from 2025-01-30 details STA testing with AT&T/Verizon and five U.S. gateways being installed.* Earlier evidence from 2024-09-12 confirms launch of first five commercial satellites toward the 5,600-cell U.S. objective.

🟡 Partially Met | Certainty: 75%
Analysis: The cadence is reaffirmed, and FM1 shipment is planned in August 2025. However, there is no evidence in 2025 of additional launches after the five in September 2024; cadence realization must begin in H2 2025 to stay on track.
Progress:* A recent update from 2025-08-15 (MD&A) reiterates phased deployment and continuity goals.* A recent update from 2025-08-11 confirms planned 1–2 month cadence through 2026.* Earlier evidence from 2025-05-12 projected five launches over 6–9 months beginning mid-2025; as of 2025-08-15, execution still pending.

Commitment: August 11, 2025: Conduct orbital launches on average every one to two months throughout 2025 and 2026 to reach the 45–60 satellite goal.
🟡 Partially Met | Certainty: 70%
Analysis: The plan is reiterated, but no 2025 launches are evidenced yet. The cadence must begin imminently to meet goals.
Progress:* A recent update from 2025-08-11 reconfirms the 1–2 month cadence plan.* Earlier evidence from 2025-05-12 outlined five launches over 6–9 months.
Commitment: August 11, 2025: Complete at least five orbital launches by the end of Q1 2026 as an interim milestone to scale deployment.
🟡 Partially Met | Certainty: 70%
Analysis: With FM1 shipping in August 2025 and cadence plans in place, the Q1 2026 milestone remains feasible but requires timely execution beginning in H2 2025.
