Sustainability Stakeholders at a BEREC workshop agreed that there is generally insufficient data on the environmental impacts generated by satellite systems and services.

Telecoms & Spectrum
D2D services provide satellite connectivity directly to mass-market mobile handsets. These services are also referred to as direct-to-cell (D2C) or direct-to-handset (D2H).
Cullen International has recently published research on the regulatory frameworks for D2D services in the Americas and Europe. In the Americas, a new benchmark analyses the regulatory conditions for D2D services in terrestrial IMT bands across 11 countries. In Europe, a new Spectrum Benchmark reviews similar regulatory conditions across 21 countries, complemented by a new Telecoms Tracker covering satellite connectivity regulation at EU level — including D2D, the planned IRIS² satellite constellation, the 2 GHz MSS spectrum band, and EU preparations for WRC-27.
