Satellite technology will complement mobile networks in bridging India’s connectivity gaps, particularly in remote areas, as the country advances towards 6G, Julian Gorman, head of Asia-Pacific (APAC) at GSMA, the global telecommunications (telecom) industry association representing more than 700 companies, tells Gulveen Aulakh in New Delhi. Direct-to-device (D2D) services will further extend connectivity, while global spectrum agreements at the 2027 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-27) will help shape their rollout. Gorman also discusses India’s 5G progress, artificial intelligence (AI) integration, network monetisation, and anti-scam measures, arguing that the country is emerging as a global model for next-generation telecom technologies.
