The Direct-to-Device Dream Collides With a Fractured Satellite Reality

The mobile industry’s most ambitious plan to end cellular dead zones is colliding with an unglamorous obstacle: its own fragmentation. At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, direct-to-device satellite services dominated the show floor, with contract announcements between constellation operators and mobile network operators arriving almost daily.

At the recent Mobile World Conference 2026 in Barcelona, the strong presence of Direct-to-Device (D2D) satellite services and the avalanche of press releases related to contracts signed between D2D satellite service providers and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) gave the impression that large scale implementation of D2D services by MNOs is imminent.
