This edition of the Industry Checkpoint series focuses on consumer eSIM, highlighting momentum behind travel eSIM; new players launching eSIM-only MVNO services; operator efforts to expand eSIM use cases beyond smartphones; and operators using eSIM to target inbound travellers, including enriching connectivity with benefits that improve the wider visitor experience.
With eSIM adoption finally accelerating, this tracker provides data that operators, OEMs, eSIM vendors and other companies involved in the eSIM value chain can use to formulate or adjust eSIM commercial strategies and offers. It covers three the commercialisation of eSIM consumer devices by OEM brand and type of device; countries and MNOs that have launched commercial eSIM service for smartphones; and a consumer adoption forecast for eSIM in the smartphone market to 2030.

SpaceX’s Q3 results have reinforced the scale of its ambitions. AI revenue has risen by eight times over the same period in 2025, though Starlink remains the group’s key profit engine. SpaceX reaffirmed its ambition to architect a national-scale US mobile network by leveraging small cells (sometimes called femtocells) and potentially tower assets via leases. The recent acquisition of Grain Management’s 800 MHz spectrum is an important enabler and signal of intent. GSMA Intelligence remains sceptical of the efficacy of this approach for a variety of reasons, but as a bona fide disruptor, the prospect is now likely a matter of when, not if.
