Satellite communications see a wave of acquisitions? Amazon and AST SpaceMobile compete for Weixun, while SpaceX eyes EchoStar Communications.

According to information from Zhitong Finance APP, satellite industry consultant Tim Farrar pointed out in a recent report that market expectations for a deal between Amazon (AMZN.US) and Viasat (VSAT.US) are rising. He stated: "When I talk to many people, what really excites them is the expectation that Amazon will soon announce the acquisition of Viasat. The main purpose of this acquisition is to obtain Viasat's international spectrum resources, integrate Viasat's Ka-band geostationary orbit (GEO) business with Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite internet service Leo, and strengthen Amazon's position in the government and aviation markets."
