+<ReleaseNote date="2024-06-27" title="Upcoming changes to ISP names">
+
+We are updating several ISP names in our data. We expect to release these
+changes in new database updates and web service requests beginning Friday, July
+12, 2024.
+
+There are two kinds of changes to expect.
+
+First, we will update several popular ISP names to match their current naming
+and branding conventions:
+
+| Current ISP name in MaxMind data    | Updated ISP name in MaxMind data |
+| ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| `Korea Telecom`                     | `KT`                             |
+| `Telecom Italia`                    | `TIM`                            |
+| `Telecom Italia Mobile`             | `TIM Mobile`                     |
+| `SaudiNet`                          | `stc Saudi`                      |
+| `Lg Powercomm`                      | `LG Uplus`                       |
+| `Versatel Deutschland`              | `1&1 Versatel`                   |
+| `Telefonica O2 UK`                  | `O2 UK`                          |
+| `INDOSAT Internet Network Provider` | `Indosat`                        |
+| `Telefonica del Peru`               | `Telefonica Peru`                |
+| `Orange Mobile`                     | `EE Mobile`                      |
+| `TDC Danmark`                       | `TDC Net`                        |
+| `T-mobile Polska`                   | `T-Mobile Polska`                |
+| `Atlantic Broadband`                | `Breezeline`                     |
+| `Vodafone New Zealand`              | `One NZ`                         |
+
+Second, we will be updating the ISP name for a number of AT&T networks. About
+1,000 (0.003%) AT&T networks in the United States will have an updated ISP name,
+either `AT&T Internet` or `AT&T Wireless`.
+
+Updated AT&T networks will have corresponding updates to their `connection_type`
+value as well. For most networks, this will mean:
+
+| Updated ISP name | Updated connection type |
+| ---------------- | ----------------------- |
+| `AT&T Internet`  | `Cable/DSL`             |
+| `AT&T Wireless`  | `Cellular`              |
+
+Please note that some AT&T networks may not have the corresponding connection
+type, because connection type values are dependent on additional signals.
+
+These changes will be reflected in the following products and services:
+
+- GeoIP Insights web service
+- GeoIP City Plus web service
+- GeoIP ISP database
+- GeoIP Connection Type database
+- GeoIP Enterprise database
