Italy plans $1.5 billion SpaceX telecom security services

Italy is in advanced talks with Elon Musk’s SpaceX for a deal to provide secure telecommunications for the nation’s government — the largest such project in Europe, people with knowledge of the matter said Sunday. Discussions are ongoing, and a final agreement on the five-year contract hasn’t been reached, said the people, who asked not to be identified citing confidential discussions. The project has already been approved by Italy’s Intelligence Services as well as Italy’s Defense Ministry, they said. The negotiations, which had stalled until recently, appeared to move forward after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia visited President-elect Donald Trump in Florida on Saturday.

Is Apple ringing the doorbell of smart home innovation?

According to Bloomberg, Apple might be working on a smart doorbell featuring its renowned FaceID technology. The concept? As you approach the door, the doorbell scans your face, communicates with a connected deadbolt lock, and unlocks seamlessly for residents. While still in early development and not expected before late 2025, the product could either integrate with HomeKit-compatible locks or involve a partnership with a specific lock maker. This move could position Apple as a competitor to Amazon's Ring, but also exposes the brand to unique challenges. For instance, concerns around security breaches or misuse of the system could spark debates on privacy and reliability. source : techcrunch
