So why is the U.S. still lagging behind with mobile payments? In other parts of the world, such as China, nearly 90% of people use mobile payments. That's more than double the U.S., but adoption is not the only problem. The infrastructure for mobile payments in the U.S. is just not there yet. https://www.howtogeek.com/833644/mobile-payments-are-still-not-great-in-the-u.s./ -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to send a message to my personal account)

Meanwhile, hackers have stolen the personal information of 7.8 million postpaid customers. According to recent reports, the carrier agreed to a settlement to resolve litigation. According to CNET, current and former T-Mobile customers may be entitled to a portion of a $350 million payout intended to settle litigation related to the 2021 cyberattack that exposed the private data of millions of users. If you are one of the millions of T-Mobile customers whose accounts were compromised, you could be compensated soon if the settlement is approved. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/281350/20221002/t-mobile-awaiting-approval-350-million-data-breach-settlement-cyberattack.htm
