TL;DR

This white paper from MSSA is strategic lobbying disguised as technical analysis.

It promotes MSS spectrum as the only viable solution for D2D satellite services.

The real agenda is to influence ITU WRC-27 spectrum policy early, positioning MSS operators to dominate D2D.

Move Over Cell Towers

The Satellites Have Landed. And Brought a Lobbyist.

The MSSA white paper (available here) looks like an engineering report, sounds like a network optimization memo, and sells like a low-orbit pitch deck. Everything is perfectly aligned. Too perfectly. The tone? Calm. The data? Selective. The motive? Anything but neutral. It walks the reader toward a singular conclusion: mobile satellite services (MSS) should be the default for direct-to-device (D2D) connectivity. No arguments. No counterpoints. Just a long, soft push into regulatory capture.
