  Ookla: DIRECT-TO-DEVICE COMES OF AGE IN ASIA PACIFIC 🛰📲 Satellite direct-to-device (D2D) service, which enables smartphones to connect directly to satellites in areas lacking terrestrial coverage, is expanding rapidly across the Asia Pacific region. The region’s first carrier-run nationwide satellite texting service launched with New Zealand’s One NZ in December 2024. By mid-2026, six Starlink-based commercial services operated across four markets: One NZ, Telstra (Australia), KDDI/SoftBank/NTT Docomo (Japan), and Globe (Philippines, launched June 2026) Australia and New Zealand showed the highest activity. Detected users averaged 25.7 and 23.0 scans per month (Jan–Jun 2026)—near daily contact. Usage rose through the southern warm season (peaking in April) and fell in winter, reflecting outdoor recreation and remote work in coverage gaps. These levels far exceed denser markets like the UK (~4 scans/month) and match Canada’s high reliance. Philippines held the region’s largest detected D2D base (64% in Q2 2026), with activity detected from January 2026—months before commercial launch. Pre-launch growth reflected testing and opportunistic registrations. Population scale and disaster needs (e.g., earthquakes, ~20 tropical cyclones yearly) drive demand; Globe offered free access during a June 2026 Mindanao quake. Per-capita and frequency of use remained lower than Australia’s. Japan has the broadest free access (three operators) yet lowest sustained use. Detected base in June 2026 was about half its July 2025 level; users averaged only 7.6 scans/month. High urbanization and >99.9% population terrestrial coverage limit exposure to gaps. Operator figures (e.g., Docomo’s 5 million connected users) are higher but measure one-time connections across iOS/Android. Services function mainly as retention tools.

  @Telstra has there been another outage? I couldn’t make a call before. Turned it on and off airplane mode and can now call. Cheers Rosie 👍

  @Sueberry2 @blu_boys @Optus Not full Telstra network, limited Telstra network access. Only Boost has full Telstra network access.

  @gpeurocars These 1/2 wits leave us unsafe! Telstra & Optus widespread outages triggers severe, cascading national security & public emergencies as modern infrastructure is hyper-connected, a single software defect or network drop instantly paralyzes critical systems, not just calls. 2/2 🧵

  @DHughesy And how did they get debt down? Asset Sales. Sold off Telstra. Sold off the Commonwealth Bank. Sold off Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Canberra Airports. Sold off Australian National Railway Assets. Not to mention the the two thirds of our gold reserves they sold.

  @rwallace67 @SimonCotter62 We have 2 mobiles with telstra, only because there's no other option at present! Everything else has been shut down, saving around $400 a month. Added starlink (home & mini) for less than $200/month, so after 6 months all the hardware is paid for as well. No regrets, it's v good!

  @Gizmologist_ Funny how telco’s never had this problem before wouldn’t surprise me if Telstra orchestrated Optus outage to knock them out of the market like Qantas did to Rex blocking airports We’ve had polair lately at night doing thermal mapping of the area fly round almost 2hrs each time
