Telefónica has a plan to become a giant. Has lit the alarms among local operators

by

The Spanish telecommunications market enters a new phase of concentration. With Masorange already underway and A possible movement between Telefónica and Vodafonethe president of the first, Marc Murtra, defends a consolidation of the sector to win scale. But Aotec – the association that groups more than 150 local telecommunications operators – has been more than reluctant to The declared objective of Telefónica to create a “European champion”. What has happened. During the presentation of the Congress AOTEC 2025which will be held in June in Madrid, the main representatives of the Association have raised the tone, as he has collected Digital economy. Its executive director, Gonzalo Elguezábal, has been clear: “We are not against consolidation, but that it is forced by legal or regulatory means.” Between the lines. AOTEC does not oppose concentration per se. What rejects is the political and regulatory thrust to facilitate great mergers, to the detriment of an alternative model that is already working: Small operators, with local implementation. Direct attention, without subcontractors. Physical stores that open where the big ones close. For his part, María Jesús Cauhé, vice president of AOTEC, has valued that “close operators are generating more and more business, compared to the destruction of employment that is taking place in large operators.” A growth that, remarks, occurs especially in the rural environment. The context. The notice is not free. In recent months, the CNMC has approved an average rise of 20% in wholesale prices of the Framework model, for which alternative operators pay Telefónica for using their infrastructure. This measure, according to AOTEC, lacks technical and economic justification, and “can strangle the competitiveness of the sector.” The dossier has already reached the European Commission, and the association is confident for Brussels to force a review. The pulse. Beyond prices, what is at stake is the future of the operator ecosystem. AOTEC defends a decentralized, competitive and rooted model in the territory, in front of a vision that Prioritize European concentration and scale To compete better worldwide. Antonio García Vidal, president of the association, summarizes it as follows: “Where others see fear, we see opportunity. The bigger they are, worse they attend.” The contrast. While the big ones seek efficiency based on mergers, local operators put the focus in the vicinity, use of proximity and capillarity in areas where no one else wants to be. According to AOTEC, the consolidation proposed by Telefónica does not guarantee a better service, and can translate into less real competition and more client disconnection. The Murtra Teleco is complicated by his great project. Of course there are many pages to write in that book.

The price war that is destroying the parcel

by

The delivery of packages in the last mile has become a fierce battlefield in Spain. The competition to offer increasingly fast and economical shipments has unleashed a descending spiral of prices and margins that threatens the viability of the sector. The parcel operators compete eroding their margins in order to win or not lose customers. This price war has its origin in the rise of e-commerce and in the consumer’s expectation to receive their purchases fast and No extra cost. Why is it important. Great platforms such as Amazon, Temu or Shein have normalized free and ultra -grape delivery as standard, forcing the entire market to match this value proposition. Online stores now use shipments as a commercial weapon, especially in promotional periods, even if it implies delivering at zero cost. That is, they assume it as an operational expense or have an impact indirectly. It is another leg of its commercial strategy. In figures. The parcel sector managed 1,014.3 million shipments in 2023. Is A 15.4% increase compared to the previous year and 80% more than in 2019. However, income only grew by 7.2%, reaching 6,050 million euros. This means that the average income per package fell around 7% in a single year. The pressure of the giants. Behind this crisis are, to a large extent, Marketplaces global and their aggressive strategies. Amazon has built its own cast network in Spain (Amazon Logistics), relying on small collaborating and particular companies that distribute with their cars. This model has allowed you to offer ultra -grape distributions at low cost, but it has meant a small earthquake for the rest, which have seen how the one who was a client is now competition. The context. Next to Amazon new Asian actors such as Temu and Shein have broken, whose price policies are changing the market as Aliexpress already advanced. They offer free or very economical shipments despite the fact that their products travel from China thanks to subsidizing the cost thanks to logistics agreements and their enormous volume, in addition to benefiting from certain exemptions now in danger. At the same time, the operating costs are triggered: the fuel has come to rise more than 25% – although it has fluctuated a lot -, The minimum wage has grown by 32% between 2019 and 2024, and environmental regulations They demand investing in more ecological vehicles. And now what. The sector is in a dilemma: continue with unsustainable low prices or reinvent your model charging what the service really is worth it. Some operators have already announced Rate ups for 2024 (as DHL Express), while others seek solutions in consolidation by mergers. Recent experience shows that “delivering everything, to all, the next day and free” is not a lasting business model. The sector is verifying that no more volume means more benefit.

The solar energy that does work without electricity

by

The blackout of April 28 left Spain and Portugal without light, even surprising those who had solar panels at home. How is it possible? The answer is in the connection From facilities to the electricity grid, but there is a solution that comes from Seville. Short. The Toscano company has developed Combi Max, a differential that, when it detects a supply cut, electrically isolates the house of the rest of the network and allows you to continue using the electricity generated by the solar panels. Also, like have indicated on their websitethere is another more complete version and with extra protection against overtops and overloads. More in depth. The device developed in Seville works isolating the electrical installation of the house when the light goes, which allows us to continue using the solar energy generated at that time. In fact, its effectiveness is not only theoretical: during the blackout of April 28, several users managed to maintain the supply thanks to this system. “Correos have reached us by thanking us,” said Luis Toscano, founder of the company, In an interview with the sixth column. There are limitations. It can only be used as long as there is sunlight and the installation is generating electricity. In addition, it is not suitable for feeding high consumption appliances such as furnaces, hobs or electric cars. On the other hand, it does allow the essential elements of the home, such as the fridge, the lighting or the load of the mobile, which can make a big difference during a light cut. But it does not replace a battery. It is a great solution for the day and for moments of blackout with sun, but does not replace a battery system. For that reason, if you want to keep the supply also during the night or in cloudy days, it is necessary have energy storage. Having panels is not enough. The blackout has been a warning: it is not enough to generate energy, we must also know how to manage it. This new device, Combi Max, is a step in that address. In an increasingly electrified world it is a big step. Image | Unspash Xataka | The signals were there: Europe detected the blackout oscillations in Spain but did not know how to anticipate collapse

The best of a mobile with a spectacular camera and the parts that still need to polish

by

It is not just another high -end phone. He Xiaomi 15 Ultra arrives with a clear intention: to position yourself as a referent in mobile photography. You just have to see its cameras module, an inch sensor and its technical configuration to understand that here is seriously played. And, when a mobile promises, we usually submit to demanding evidence, Like this new 24/7 on the Xataka YouTube channel. “5 days have passed since I am using this phone and I have not stopped taking photos and videos with him. And … wow. The results in automatic are hallucinating me.” That is the first impression of our partner Mario Arroyo, who has incorporated the terminal in his day to day. But, is it still dazzling after so many days? What is left of the ‘Wow’ effect after several weeks? That is what we will try to put on the table. One of the most powerful video points is how the camera yields beyond the specifications. Because yes, it has impressive data: a 50 MP main sensor, an ultra wide angle of 50 MP, a 50 MP teleobjective and a 200 MP super-telefoto with optical zoom. All this supported for generous focal distances, in one of the most versatile systems we have seen. But the important thing is how it pays in real life. The protagonist of 24/7 stops in key aspects that make a difference: the Automatic approachfor example, describes it as “very fast framing”, and talks about how well it captures the subjects without the need to activate extra modes. It also highlights the natural blur that is achieved thanks to the depth of field: “The portrait mode is hardly necessary having such good results in automatic.” As you will see below, this analysis goes beyond the camera. The design is also addressed: the finishing finish, the combination of colors with the aesthetics Leica has its charm, but there is also at least a difficult problem to ignore and several reproaches arise, especially in the software section. “Hyperos, despite its personalization level, includes bloatware and certain debatable decisions,” says Mario. And of course, the dilemma arrives: is it worth investing in this mobile if what you are looking for is the best camera? Where is the limit between what it offers and what it costs? Is this Xiaomi 15 ultra the new photographic referent of 2025 … or a piece for a very specific audience? Recall that there are many devices that aspire to occupy this throne. If the camera is what you value most, if you are one of those who take photos every day and you like to get the most out of each shot, this 24/7 can give you just what you need. Give the play to immerse yourself in our most recent publication on the Xataka YouTube channel.

The ice age had a solar storm so powerful that its effects can still be detected in trees

by

How powerful can it become a solar storm? More than one will have ever asked this question for mere curiosity. And also out of necessity. Answering this question is important in order to prepare in the face of potential storms of great magnitude, but it is complicated: we have a limited sample and the most intensity events are those that happen less frequently. But now we have a new track. The mother of all storms. A recent study has analyzed The remnants of the greatest solar storm of which we have record to date. The storm, about 500 times more powerful than the largest solar storm since the beginning of the space era, would have happened about 14,300 years ago. Although We already had enough previous clues about this eventThe new study facilitates the work of preparing for such events, and can also help us improve our radiocarbon dating techniques. 14,300 years ago. The discovery of this solar storm has been possible thanks to the detection of a radiocarbon peak, the well-known carbon-14, happened towards the year 12,350 AEC, towards the end of the last glacial period. This implies that the storm is not only the most powerful of which we have record, it is also the only solar storm known outside the Holocene, the contemporary geological era (if we exclude the existence debated from the anthropocene). Different storms. The storm analyzed was a solar particle storm. There are different events That we can catalog as solar storms, each with its characteristics, such as radio blackouts, solar radiation storms or geomagnetic storms. Radiation storms, such as the one studied, are produced when large amounts of charged particles from the sun reach the magnetic field of the earth. This field tends to divert the particles towards the poles, making the effect on high latitudes greater. Carbon 14. The team responsible for the new study He turned to a new model Chemist-Climatic, Socol: 14C-EX, for analysis. This is a model designed to rebuild solar storms of particles in climatic conditions of the past glaciations. Thanks to this model, they explain, it was possible to verify that this solar storm was 18% stronger than the event of the year 775 EC, the largest solar storm known until the discovery of this event. “Compared to the largest event in the Modern Era of Satellites (the 2005 particle storm) the old 12,350 AC event was about 500 times more intense, according to our estimates,” explained in a press release Kseniia Golubenko, co -author of the study The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Earth and Planetary Science Letters. More than establishing a record. The study allows us to establish a new framework to the “most pessimistic scenario,” says Golubenko. Knowing what we can face gives us essential tools when preventing this type of event. The study can also help scientists who study something very different: archaeologists. The analysis has been based on carbon-14, a very important isotope when it comes to very diverse organic matter remains, from fabrics to ships. Understanding the peaks of this isotope caused by the impact of loaded particles from the Sun can help us to date back objects created in past times.

More and more people work after 70 years

by

The situation Demographic of Japan is forcing government and companies to adapt its regulations to maintain the balance between a very aging work mass and a serious labor shortage young man who has caused decades of stagnation in the birth rate. One of the measures that are being applied most in companies is the expansion of the mandatory retirement age. Thus, the most veteran employees They can continue working until beyond the 70 years if they wish. 5.4 million senior employees. According to data published by Nikkei Asia, Japanese companies keep more than 5.4 million employees of 70 years or more. According to A report Of the Japanese Business Federation of 2024, the employment rate among those over 65 in Japan is 25.2%, well above 18.6% in the US, of 10.9% of the United Kingdom or 3.9% registered by France. According to this report, 99.9% of Japanese companies had measures to guarantee the use of their workers Beyond the 65 years, after the reform in 2023 of the retirement age in Japan, which went from 60 to 65 years. However, Japanese companies have taken the legislation a little further: 29.7% of them have measures that guarantee employment up to 70 years and beyond. In Japan, the 70s are the new 60. According to data from A survey Made in 2023 by the Ministry of Labor of Japan, 80% of retirement workers wanted to continue working beyond the legal retirement age. Of these, 70% of them would prefer to do so in their current job. Part of that mood to continue working beyond 70 years is due to Japan registering one of the greatest rates of life expectancy on the planet. According to data from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan published by Nippon.comJapanese life expectancy is 87.14 years for women and 81.09 years for men. That makes Japanese employees reach their legal retirement age with good health, which allows them to expand their working life by adapting their working days to their physical limitations. “60 -year -old people are young. In this era of labor shortage, managers need to find ‘older men who contribute value,” said ATSushi Morishita Morishita, 78, founder of Tenpos Holdings. Pensions in Japan. Another reasons that are leading retirees to maximize their effective retirement age is the amount of pensions. With an aging population, the budget balance of pensions suffers since there are more people in a situation of receiving them What quotes youths. Retirees can only receive from the public pension system a maximum of 831,700 annual yen (equivalent to about 5,100 euros), which add up to the assignments of private pension funds that workers and companies have hired (or not) throughout working life. According to estimates Bloomberg, that leaves them with an average monthly public pension of 40,000 yen (about 245 euros per month). A full income Insufficient to subsist. Companies tailored to the elderly. According to them Published figures by Nikkeiemployees over 65 represent around 15% of the company’s workforce in Japan. These employees are less demanding diurnal shifts. “Instead of fitting people in a system, it is essential to manage work hours in a way that adapts to our diverse talent,” explained to Nikkei Kazushige Mori, president of GASHOEN, a company that manages care centers for older people whose template is formed by 15% of people over 70 years. Those who work 20 hours or more adopt the status of employees with contract, which is a higher hourly salary than those considered as part -time workers. “Compared to young people, who have a high rotation rate, the senior professionals who work with us for a longer time are the pillar of our company,” said Kimino Osada, president of Sixei Server.

Google has hit an acceleration in the race for AI. That multiplies the Android value

by

A pylon hammer. That is what Google seemed yesterday in the opening talk of its Google I/O event. The company left us An avalanche of ads related to advances in their artificial intelligence models and, of course, of the practical applications that these advances will mean. Google’s ambition is clear, and yesterday they took a giant step to become the great winners of the race and AI. Hello, this is the future. Although some of the novelties will not be available immediately, Google’s speech was clear: this can be the future. One in which we will not touch the mobile so much, but we will constantly talk with him. Gemini’s advance – which now has an “Deep Think” mode of reasoning – is clear, and Google has hit an acceleration to apply it everywhere. And especially in one. Ai mode vs traditional search engine. It is likely that searching on the Internet has changed forever. What we already saw with Perplexity now arrives much clearer to the Google search engine thanks to its “ai mode” in which the search engine He no longer delivers results, but talks with us. That will leave the traditional search engine more and more, which at the moment remains the one that is selected by default. For the moment. Advances everywhere. The improvements in PROJECT ASTRA They demonstrated how the AI ​​assistant is already prepared to “infiltrate” in our lives. They have already integrated it with Chrome, but also wins overlaps with Search Live, the mode of operation with which our mobile serves as their eyes, ears and mouth to interact with the world. Advances in image 4 and I see 3 —I Flow– They join others such as real -time translation on Google Meet – which will also reach the connected glasses. A more practical and useful than ever. But the most relevant message was precisely the one that Google found its product demos. The AI ​​that now seems to be limited to very specific tasks demonstrated in these releases how it could help solve everyday problems. Fix a bike with the wizard, try new clothes virtually, that the AI ​​monitor the price of a product and let you know and buy it (with your previous confirmation) or travel to any country and understand you with other people without speaking their language – a old promise, now closer than ever – were some of those demonstrations. And in all of them, Google’s AI showed unstoppable advance. One that, by the way, will boost its other great product. Android with super powers. Google’s mobile platform remains a fundamental pillar of these advances, because the AI ​​that is available through models such as Gemini does not act alone: ​​it is a complement, almost a “plugin” for Android, whose inertia and influence are evident in the mobile market. And its variants, too. Although in many cases the solutions created by Google are used on other platforms (Jules In PCs and laptops, I see/image too) there is an intimate relationship with Android and of course, with its variants. A few days ago Google already made clear its plans to Integrate Gemini in the car, in the clock or on television. All of them make use of Android operating systems, but there is another especially promising. Glasses. In Xataka we have been able Try the new Google glasses with Gemini And experience, even being limited by based on a prototype, is hopeful for this type of product. The integration of AI functions is something that the Ray-Ban Meta had already pointed out, and it is clear that this market promises to be especially important in the coming years. And again, below Android XR, which can end up becoming a true pillar of Google’s strategy. Faced with Google’s ambition, Apple’s indifference. Google’s staging yesterday – and Microsoft in its Build conference The day before – demonstrated the ambition of these companies in the field of AI. They have opted everything to this technology and seem especially prepared to get all the juice to this revolution. Meanwhile, Apple does not stop losing trains and giving disappointing news In this segment. Waiting for wwdc 2025. We can take Apple’s pulse much better in less than a month. On June 9, the opening talk of the WWDC 2025 is celebrated, and it will be then when we know if Apple has something real to show ourselves in the matter of AI or declined even more from the headplay. A priori it does not seem that they can move file soon, and the company’s approach seems to be much more cautious and gradual than that of the competition. Here Apple prefers to wait for their proposals to be much more polished before presenting them, but there is also the other option: that they are really in trouble and this can pass them long -term invoice.

Gemini balances the balance of the new enemy of the vision pro

by

At the end of last year, Google and Samsung made us known the ecosystem Android XR And one of the augmented reality helmets that was going to carry this software: Project Moohan. Throughout the last months we have been able to see it closely, but not taste it first hand. During the Google I/O.we have removed that thorn we had nailed. And in addition to trying Google glasses with Gemini, we have also had the opportunity to Try firsthand the viewfinder that Samsung has prepared In collaboration with Google, who put the software, and Qualcomm, who optimize the Snapdragon of its interior. Under these lines we tell you our experience with the device. Samsung and Google enter a field known for their obstacles First of all it should be noted that what we could try was a prototype. Quite advanced that glasses with Gemini, yes, but after all a prototype of which we still do not know the release date. These demonstrations organized by Google will serve the company to have a contact on the opinion of the users about the device, so they can still change many things for the launch. Google Headset, Samsung and Qualcomm | Image: Xataka During the test I have been able to check firsthand How Android XR works and what can we expect from this new device which has reminded us a lot of Apple’s proposal. And just see it, it is impossible not to remember the Vision Pro. The exterior design follows very similar lines, although with some elements that differentiate it such as the buttons in the frame and the touch panel on one of the sides. The rear fastening, on the other hand, reminds the Quest Pro goal. One of the first surprises came just to place them: They are remarkably lighter than one could imagine. The process is very simple: you put them and adjust the pressure by means of a wheel located on the back. In addition, a very interesting detail is that the device automatically detects the separation of your eyes and adjusts the lenses without having to do absolutely anything. Viewer next to external batteries | Image: Xataka During my test, The feeling was really comfortablealthough I could not take them for hours to check if they end up causing fatigue. It is expected that, as with any device that is carried in the head, prolonged use ends up generating some discomfort, however light it is. Like the pro vision, these glasses They choose to outsource the batterywhich connects by a cable. This allows to reduce the weight in the head, something fundamental to improve comfort, but implies carrying the battery in the pocket, which is not especially practical. It seems that, for now, this is the only viable solution for this type of devices if we want to prevent them from being excessively heavy. Image | Xataka Another well -taken idea is that I could choose two ways to wear the helmet. We can put the viewfinder next to Silicone pads Located at the bottom, which is isolated completely from the outside world for total immersion, or without them, since they are magnetic and can be easily removed. Without the pads, we can see part of the environment below the glasses, mixing with what we see on the screens. This option is surprisingly comfortable and nothing annoying, being ideal for moments when we need to be aware of what is happening around us. The interface has not yet been presented in this way, but it is what Google aspires with Android XR | Image: Google The quality of the screens is frankly good, and hence the Samsung lab They feel a bit below the pro vision. The video feed it offers from the outside world has very good quality and feels fluid, although it shows a certain grain that can end up being annoying after prolonged use. We remember, it is not a finished product, so we will have to wait to have them in hand once launched to really see how they develop in this aspect. Android XR, an still tasteless sauce but with great aspirations thanks to Gemini The software is quite intuitive and works with gestures similar to those we already know about other proposals such as Quest and Vision Pro. Our hands are the controls: We sail through the interface by pinches to select applications or return to the main menu. We have not had the opportunity to share what we saw through the glasses due to limitations of the test itself, so it is another detail that we sign up for when we try the device in depth. Image | Xataka Android XR is simple and functional, although in its current state it gives the feeling that it still lacks its own personality and identity. However, it is noted that the device is more advanced than the light augmented reality glasses that Google is designing and that they remain a premature prototype, which is logical considering that this helmet It will be launched predictably during this same 2025. Without a doubt, the strong point of these glasses is the integration of Gemini. The assistant sees and hears everything we when we invoke it, which allows control the device much more comfortable through voice commands. During my test, I could see how useful it is to be able to interact with the interface without constantly using your hands. For example, when using Google Maps, I could move to different points of the map with simple vocal orders. It is also very practical to ask Gemini to perform any task or interact with any notification, as well as open and close applications. Image | Xataka This feature can make an important difference with respect to the pro vision, since using the hands and keeping the arms in motion for prolonged periods can be exhausting. I have been able to try several immersive demos on YouTube, and I have to say that the … Read more

Ozores was a day the most important person in Spain. To the point of delaying the premiere of ‘The Empire Contraataca’

by

He has died Mariano Ozoresone of the best known and box office directors in the history of Spanish cinema. Although his cinema has always been despised by critics, his films were infallible blockbusters that put on his competitors on his competitors. Including ‘Star Wars’, whose first sequel had to give in to the overwhelming power of Pajares and Esteso. Long live ozores. Mariano Ozores was one of the main exponents of the Spanish popular comedy since the sixties. His ability to connect with the public was notable thanks to a style that balanced the accessible and the irreverent: as Bruguera of flesh and blood bruguerahis films were simple in the form, but corrosive in what was navigating below. The costumbrista typology, the Spanish scenarios, the explosive humor: key was its style, for example, to strengthen what was known as’Landism‘, pure Hispanic anthropology with the best comedy deals of the time. Great successes. In addition to the films with Alfredo Landa, without a doubt his greatest successes were the ones he signed at the service of Andrés Pajares and Fernando Esteso. With them he signed the legendary ‘Los Bingueros’, sociological phenomenon and more grossing film of that year in Spain, but also ‘The Energy’, ‘Los Liantes’ or ‘Father there are nothing more than two’, up to a total of nine. The 96 films of his vast filmography They were seen for about 90 million viewers. He was the authentic author of the Spanish commercial cinema, when those things made no sense in our industry.
