Viasat Report Finds Nearly Half of Mobile Users Ready to Switch to Satellite Services

ViaSat Inc. has released a new market analysis revealing strong consumer demand for direct-to-device (D2D) satellite connectivity. Based on a survey of over 12,000 global smartphone users across 12 markets, the report shows that 60% of respondents would pay more for satellite services, and nearly half are willing to switch mobile providers to access this technology. The findings highlight an inflection point for mobile network operators, who face both new revenue opportunities and increased competition as satellite connectivity becomes essential for reliable coverage, digital inclusion, and economic growth. The report also notes differences in demand: users in less economically developed markets are more interested in high-data-rate applications like web browsing and video calls via satellite, while those in developed markets prioritize messaging and emergency services.
