Summary

ASTS pursuing a service (native voice calls) where there is no viable business model vs SpaceX's superior position

Reasoning

SpaceX already covers broadband/D2D text use cases; ASTS finding a niche with no business viability

ASTS is going for native voice calls. SpaceX did D2D text only (makes sense, if i'm dying, i rather text my location than yelling over GPS location in a storm). SpaceX is also already did the broadband data, so i can facetime in normal situation. $ASTS finding a niche where there is no business.
