Two models for Direct-to-Device bid to reign in Earth-to-Space convergence

On one hand, there are systems operating over bands allocated to Mobile Satellite Services, such as those used by Viasat (L-band) and Omnispace (S-band). On the other hand, satellite operators transmit in spectrum allocated to terrestrial operators, a variation that requires significant regulatory changes and careful management to avoid interference.
