Your next move · Carriers · MVNOs · Satellite

We're being asked for our satellite plan.

Direct-to-device is the question every carrier board is now asking. The real decision is what it can deliver, who owns the customer, and what a partnership costs you at renewal.


What we would look at

  • What a satellite link can realistically deliver to an unmodified handset today, versus the roadmap
  • Who owns the customer relationship, the SIM and the data in each partnership model
  • What the economics look like at renewal, not at signing, which is where the leverage moves
  • Which spectrum and regulatory dependencies sit under the promise
  • The go/no-go criteria, written down before the term sheet arrives
