Tsipras, Archbishop Ieronymos Announce New Agreement Between Church and State

Tsipras said that the two sides reached an agreement of historic proportions and revealed that priests will no longer be considered public servants. Instead, the Greek State will provide an annual amount equivalent to the wages of the priests to the Church of Greece. The Church of Greece will then be responsible for the distribution of wages.

Tsipras added that a new fund will be established jointly by the Church and the Greek State to make use of the Church’s property.

5G will let users ditch fixed-line home broadband, says Three

5G mobile data will be so reliable and fast most homes will no longer need a separate home broadband connection, according to one of the companies planning to launch a UK service.

Three UK's chief executive told BBC News there would be enough capacity on 5G to cope with demand, meaning households would be able to save money by ending their fixed-line contracts.

He predicts consumers will use 13 times as much mobile data in 2025 as today.

But one expert warned against "hype".
