Some examples of this include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/starlink\" target=\"_blank\">Starlink<\/a> (Direct to Cell), <a href=\"https:\/\/ast-science.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AST SpaceMobile<\/a> and Viasat (i.e. they have a vested interest in the survey). In fact, some phones, like the latest <strong>iPhone<\/strong> series from Apple and <strong>Samsung<\/strong>, already have a basic communication system that can work via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/satellite\">satellite<\/a> (e.g. for emergencies).<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> The Survey involved over 1,000 people in each market &#8211; from May to June 2025, covering Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Africa, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States of America (USA).<\/div>\n<p>Suffice to say that Viasat and GSMA Intelligence were keen to know how much interest there might be in such services. In order to do this, they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viasat.com\/perspectives\/enterprise\/2025\/ntn-consumer-mobile\/?cid=EPR_GBL_3891_W6R250VTL9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">surveyed 12,390 mobile phone users<\/a> about their existing terrestrial coverage, their awareness and interest in satellite-based services, and their willingness to pay for these services and to switch mobile network providers to access these services.<\/p>\n<p>The survey found that, on average, more than a third of consumers report losing access to basic mobile cellular services at least twice a month. Perhaps as a result, 60% of consumers are willing to pay extra for satellite services, while 47% of global phone users stated they would switch to a different operator if they didn\u2019t get cell coverage in traditional dead spots.<\/p>\n<p>Consumers are apparently also ready to pay an additional 5-7% on their monthly phone bill for D2D satellite features, and even more in developing regions like India (9%). But awareness varies &#8211; with 74% of consumers aware of satellite features in India compared with only 25% in Japan, creating a \u2018marketing gap\u2019 which telcos must navigate to capitalise on demand.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Tim Hatt, Head of Research &amp; Consulting, GSMA Intelligence, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSix in ten say they\u2019re willing to pay extra for D2D services, and nearly half would switch provider to get them, a decisive signal of demand and a clear revenue runway for operators. With satellite services aligned to 3GPP standards and moving from trials to commercial reality, the race is on to deliver D2D at scale, first messaging and voice, then data \u2013 so operators can differentiate on reach, resilience and customer trust.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" style=\"padding: 0px; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2025-uk-internet-statistics\/GSMA-and-Viasat-Survey-Mobile-Problems.webp\" alt=\"GSMA-and-Viasat-Survey-Mobile-Problems\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" style=\"padding: 0px; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2025-uk-internet-statistics\/GSMA-and-Viasat-Survey-Mobile-Coverage-Quality.webp\" alt=\"GSMA-and-Viasat-Survey-Mobile-Coverage-Quality\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" style=\"padding: 0px; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2025-uk-internet-statistics\/GSMA-and-Viasat-Survey-Demand-for-Satellite-Mobile.webp\" alt=\"GSMA-and-Viasat-Survey-Demand-for-Satellite-Mobile\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" style=\"padding: 0px; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2025-uk-internet-statistics\/GSMA-and-Viasat-Survey-Demand-for-Satellite-Mobile-Prices.webp\" alt=\"GSMA-and-Viasat-Survey-Demand-for-Satellite-Mobile-Prices\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new survey from Viasat and the GSMA (Global System for Mobile Communications Association), which questioned 12,390 mobile phone users across twelve markets (including the UK), claims to have revealed the &#8220;booming consumer demand&#8221; for Direct-to-Device (D2D) satellite services (mobile calls, texts and internet data).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40739,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[61,406,60,77,34],"class_list":["post-44068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-4g","tag-5g","tag-mobile-broadband","tag-satellite","tag-statistics"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@ispreview\/115655056705671813","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
