Digital Networks Act

534 submissions from 398 organizations told the European Commission what they think about this file. Here is what each of them said, in their own words.

The Commission received 593 submissions on this file. Shown here: the 534 from organizations. Not shown: 46 from private individuals. Their submissions are personal data; the Commission publishes them under its own legal basis, and republishing them by name here would need one we do not have. Organizations act in a public capacity, so their positions are public record. Also not shown: 13 further submissions we do not publish for other reasons: no quotable text (a comment under 250 characters and no readable paper), no organization named, or a private person who filed under their own name.

Europe has a narrow window to establish leadership in direct-to-device (D2D) connectivity. The opportunity is real and growing, but it will only materialise if the regulatory framework enables scalable, operator-led deployment integrated into Europes mobile networks. The mobile satellite service (MSS) proposal, as drafted, risks unintentionally constraining that outcome.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed”. You read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion.
