It is an interesting report.<br>
<br>
For standardisation standpoint, it seems SDOs do push towards <br>
integration of 5G/6G and satcom; there are strong initiatives at least <br>
at 3GPP (NTN WI proposals) and IETF (TVR WG) in that direction. But <br>
these are SDOs traditionally oriented to land communications, rather <br>
than space satcom.<br>
<br>
I wonder whether space satcom traditional SDOs (which ones?) have <br>
initiated work towards integration with 5G/6G and other land-based Internet?<br>
