On Wednesday, 15 July 2026, at 11:00-12:00 EDT (15:00-16:00 UTC), Ookla will host a webinar ‘From Space to Your Pocket: How D2D Could Redefine Global Coverage‘.

Direct-to-Device (D2D) satellite connectivity is moving from industry hype toward commercial reality, promising to close outdoor dead zones as satellite operators and mobile carriers form new alliances. The session examines the state of the D2D market — its scale and growth, real-world performance measured across controlled and crowdsourced testing, the commercial and regulatory realities of satellite-to-smartphone service, and how business models evolve from emergency access toward mobile-broadband-type access — with new regional performance insights shared for the first time.

SPEAKERS
JR Wilson – Chief of Networks and Spectrum, AST SpaceMobile
Richard Haas – Spectrum Policy Consultant, LS telcom
Mike Dano – Lead Industry Analyst, Ookla
Luke Kehoe – Lead Industry Analyst, Ookla

On 28 May 2026, Ookla and Fiberevolution hosted a webinar ‘Fibre Is Not Enough: Wi-Fi CPE, Interconnection, and Satellite in the Broadband Quality Equation‘. Fibre coverage is expanding globally, but real network quality is won or lost behind the scenes. Discover why in-home Wi-Fi bottlenecks, peering paths, and CDN proximity matter vastly more than the raw access line type.
