Nokia Adds Lonely Planet To Mobiles

If you’re heading out of the country but don’t know much about your destination, now Nokia lets download a Lonely Planet guide to take with you on your mobile device on your laptop through Nokia Maps.

Nokia Maps uses vector maps from the company’s recent $8.1 billion acquisition, Navteq, as well as Teleatlas, and offers maps for over 200 countries. The Lonely Planet guides, which cost $13.99 per download, cover over 100 destinations, the company says.

"This is a genuinely transformational deal, which makes Lonely Planet content readily available regardless of time or place. It will help all those questions which travelers frequently have on the road such as ‘What should I explore today’ or ‘where should I go for dinner tonight?’ Together with Nokia we will help more travelers connect profoundly with their world, every day."

T-Mobile has been fined millions of dollars. Here are all the details

T-Mobile smartphone.

There's an expectation of privacy and security from your mobile provider. That's why a series of T-Mobile data breaches from 2021 through January of this year caused so much concern. Over 130 million customers were affected, and their addresses, dates of birth, and sometimes even Social Security numbers were exposed in the attacks.

T-Mobile has reached a settlement with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding the data breaches. The company is on the hook for $15.75 million in fines, but it is also paying for an additional $15.75 million in infrastructure improvements to improve its cybersecurity. The settlement also includes several actionable steps on T-Mobile's part.
