However, he noted the fast pace of development means governments are increasingly considering the need for greater regulatory alignment between satellite and mobile players.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consumer Protection and Investment at Stake<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Giusti said regulatory alignment is necessary to ensure consistent <a href=\"\/category\/telecom\/\">consumer protection<\/a> and support long-term investment in the sector. He also noted national sovereignty concerns are a factor in the regulatory debate, though the development of LEO direct-to-device services is spurring connectivity improvements for users.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GSMA Position Paper on LEO Satellite Regulation<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GSMA issued a position paper outlining five core regulatory proposals for the <a href=\"\/category\/telecom\/\">telecommunications<\/a> sector. The paper calls for clear and consistent rules for market entry and equal governance policies for both satellite and mobile players.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the paper proposes aligning national, regional, and international standards. It also recommends fostering exchange between governments, regulators, and the industry, while maintaining a focus on consumer protections for all new services.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regulatory Gaps in an Emerging Sector<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GSMA argued that many current regulatory frameworks are not sufficient to meet the challenges of emerging business models in the LEO direct-to-device space. The organization stated that action is timely, as the sector remains nascent and existing rules have not kept pace with technological developments.<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Governments are increasingly considering the need for greater regulatory alignment between satellite and mobile players to ensure consistent consumer protection and long-term investment.&#8221;<\/p><cite>John Giusti, Chief Regulatory Officer, GSMA<\/cite><\/blockquote><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outlook for Satellite and Mobile Convergence<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GSMA&#8217;s position reflects a broader industry push to bring <a href=\"\/category\/telecom\/\">satellite connectivity<\/a> under the same regulatory umbrella as terrestrial mobile networks. As LEO constellations from multiple operators expand globally, the pressure on regulators to act is expected to grow. The organization did not specify a timeline for when governments should adopt the proposed framework.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The call for regulation comes as <a href=\"\/category\/mobile-devices\/\">mobile device<\/a> manufacturers increasingly integrate direct-to-device satellite capabilities into consumer hardware, further blurring the line between traditional mobile and satellite services.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The GSMA proposed at MWC26 Barcelona that LEO satellite constellations require new regulatory frameworks, citing consumer protection and investment concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":61815,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_pr_autopilot_social_copy":"{\"x_hook\":\"The GSMA is calling for urgent new rules to govern low Earth orbit satellite services, warning that current regulatory frameworks cannot keep pace with direct-to-device technology.\",\"x_takeaways\":\"Key Details:\\n\ud83d\udd39 GSMA proposed equal governance policies for both satellite and mobile players at MWC26 Barcelona\\n\ud83d\udd39 Chief regulatory officer John Giusti cited consumer protection and national sovereignty as key concerns\\n\ud83d\udd39 The GSMA position paper calls for aligned national, regional, and international standards for LEO services\"}","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_description":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_image":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_image_id":0,"_yoast_wpseo_twitter_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter_description":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter_image":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter_image_id":0,"_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":0,"_extra_hide_author_box":"","_extra_featured_post":"","_partner_post_id":83518,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,22],"tags":[2134,2129,2257,2088,2258],"class_list":["post-61816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","category-telecom","tag-direct-to-device","tag-gsma","tag-leo-satellites","tag-mwc26","tag-satellite-regulation","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
