New guide provides practical recommendations for regulators<\/i>\u00a0seeking<\/i>\u00a0to create harmonised, technology-neutral<\/i>\u00a0satellite<\/i>\u00a0frameworks that prioritise societal needs, consumer<\/i>\u00a0protection<\/i>\u00a0and sustainable investment<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n

LONDON<\/span>, June 24, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — The GSMA today launched its new\u00a0Satellite Regulatory Playbook<\/i><\/a>, a practical guide designed to help<\/i>\u00a0policy<\/i>makers develop clear,\u00a0consistent\u00a0and future-ready\u00a0policy\u00a0frameworks for the rapidly evolving satellite connectivity sector.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

As Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services expand globally and begin to complement terrestrial mobile and broadband networks, the Playbook provides governments with a structured framework to modernise\u00a0satellite\u00a0regulation in ways that support societal needs, protect consumers, and encourage investment in the next generation of communications networks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Developed in collaboration with Access Partnership, the Playbook\u00a0focuses\u00a0on\u00a0emerging satellite broadband and direct-to-device (D2D) services\u00a0delivered directly to end users without mobile operator partnerships, where\u00a0existing\u00a0regulatory\u00a0frameworks\u00a0often leave gaps.\u00a0Where mobile operators are involved, existing regulations typically provide sufficient safeguards. The playbook\u00a0offers practical guidance that policymakers can adapt to their national circumstances. It is designed to support technology-neutral regulation while promoting greater consistency in regulatory outcomes across markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The GSMA emphasises that resilient\u00a0and inclusive digital societies\u00a0require\u00a0multiple forms of connectivity working together, including mobile, fixed and satellite networks. Regulatory frameworks therefore need to evolve to address all connectivity services consistently, ensuring users receive comparable protections and benefits regardless of how services are delivered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Michaela Angonius, Head of Policy & Regulation at the GSMA, said:\u00a0“As satellite connectivity becomes an increasingly important part of the global communications landscape, policymakers have an opportunity to create regulatory frameworks that are fit for the future.<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Connectivity is not a choice between terrestrial and satellite networks. Regulation should be technology-neutral and focused on delivering consistent outcomes for consumers and society, regardless of how services are provided.”<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Playbook\u00a0identifies\u00a0eight key regulatory pillars that policymakers should consider when developing or modernising frameworks for satellite services:\u00a0<\/p>\n
