Vodafone CEO calls for satellite rules
Vodafone’s chief executive is urging regulators and industry players to slow the hype around satellite-to-phone services and focus on basic guardrails. As satellite links start to plug directly into terrestrial mobile networks, she warned that uncoordinated launches and country-by-country experiments could create security gaps and uneven protections for users.
She called for clear, shared standards on safety, security and service reliability across Europe and beyond, arguing that operators should not treat live customers as test subjects for risky, fragmented rollouts. The goal, she said, is to integrate satellites into mobile networks in a way that protects customer trust rather than trading it for quick technical wins.
