In an age where digital presence transcends physical borders, our ability to stay connected should be as seamless as the swipe of a passport. Yet for millions of people, crossing into a new country still means dealing with roaming charges, incompatible SIM cards, or opaque mobile data policies. As global mobility accelerates—from remote work and international education to cross-border commerce—the telecommunications industry must rise to the challenge of providing connectivity that's as mobile as the people who rely on it.

(...). "Aging in the mountains as a man or woman aged 80 and above" may initially seem daunting: consider the somewhat harsh climatic conditions, steep terrain, increasingly diverse demographics of residents who leave the mountains during the day, the deserted and dying spaces of sociability. Yet for some individuals over 80, aging in the mountains is also an opportunity: they feel at home (Palazzo-Crettol et al., 2024), the air is fresher, the serene atmosphere is appreciated, the sloping terrain supports continued physical activity, and for those originally from the area, an existing strong social network can help overcome the specific constraints of mountain life (Mesnard et al., forthcoming).
