Nvidia has paid 900 million for one

by

Nvidia has signed a new talent from Ia. The news is not that, but the way in which he has signed it: to achieve “capture it” he has made an investment of more than 900 million dollars in the company he directed. It is a new hiring modality that allows “stealing talent” without current legislation being able to do much. What happened. According to CNBC dataNvidia has invested more than 900 million dollars in the AI ​​Hardware Startup Contractwhich manufactures connectivity components for AI servers. As part of that agreement, Nvidia has signed his CEO, Rochan Sancar, who will begin to work directly for the firm led by Jensen Huang. Clusters to power. Contractivity connectivity solutions – founded in 2019 – allow the company to connect more than 100,000 GPUS to put them to work within AI. These types of solutions can help Nvidia offer integrated systems that use their chips. Or what is the same: all this points to new “supernodos” of computing with thousands of Nvidia chips ready to be installed in large data centers. The firm already its GB200 NVL72 marketsfor example, but this agreement allows you to go more in that field. They already knew each other. In 2023 Nvidia already participated in a round of investment in which Undergraduate raised 125 million dollars. In 2024 another new 115 million round He made companies such as ARM, Samsung or Cisco participate. According to Pitchbook, after this round the contribute assessment was 600 million dollars: the investment made by NVIDIA is enormous considering that data. Big Tech invest fortunes to sign talent. This tactic is the same that used goal in June, when invested 14.3 billion dollars In the startup Scale AI and signed his new tsar of the Superintelligence Division, Alexandr Wang. Google did the same in July by announcing an agreement with Windsurf: would invest 2.4 billion dollars in itand incidentally, he would sign his CEO, Varun Mohan. Microsoft did the same With Inflection and Mustafa Suleyman In July 2024, and Amazon also He moved file At that time when signing managers of the STARTUP of the ADEPT. One way to avoid legal problems. Traditionally, these types of operations were carried out through the well -known “Acquihires”. A large company bought another and in many cases it did to get talent, not because of the product or service offered by the “victim.” These agreements have ended up suffering remarkable legal scrutiny, which has made large companies go to other forms of talent. These “pseudoinversiones” are nothing more than a mechanism to achieve that talent without being so exposed – at least, for the moment – to legal scrutiny. And a distortion of the startup market. These operations, however, pose an important problem for the global startup panorama. If a large company can go to methods like this to sign talent, change the dynamics and strategies of startup themselves. After the investment in Underground, the company should continue to be separated, but to what extent is this a undercover acquisition? More elements for the bubble of the AI. There is also a threat to the risk capital market. Big Tech are using their huge cash reserves to inflate startup assessments such as getting out. Not because of its market potential, but as a “hiring premium” covered by its founders. This can create a bubble and change the strategy of risk capital investors, which can now value talent more than long -term business viability.

The company already seeks to replace them

Tesla announces changes in the design of its electronic handles after the American road safety authority opened an investigation this week. Its electronic shooters have gone around the world after popular cases in which people were trapped inside. The brand promises A solution that combines electronic and manual mechanisms in a single button, facilitating escape in emergency situations. What’s happening. The National Road Traffic Security Administration (NHTSA) has initiated an investigation after receiving nine complaints from Tesla owners who could not open their doors from the outside due to the failure of the electronic handles. In four of these cases, drivers had to break the windows to access the vehicle and rescue their children from the interior. REdiseño underway. Franz von Holzhause, Tesla design manager, confirmed To Bloomberg that the company works in a new solution that unifies the opening systems. “The idea of ​​combining electronic and manual in a single button makes a lot of sense,” explained the manager. “It’s something we are working on.” The objective is to create a more intuitive mechanism for occupants “in a panic situation.” The background problem. The current Tesla shooters have two critical weaknesses: they use electronic locks that may fail if they do not receive energy from the vehicle’s battery, and although they include emergency manual systems, they are difficult to locate and access, especially for children or passengers little familiar with the car. A Bloomberg investigation document 140 incidents of people trapped in Tesla vehicles due to problems with the handles, several of them with serious injuries. International pressure. Tesla also monitors possible regulatory changes in China, where the authorities They study prohibiting handles completely hidden for security reasons. “We will have a very good solution for that”, assured von Holzhausen. The Asian giant, main world market for electric vehiclescould mark the global course if it implements restrictions on this type of systems. And now what. Although Tesla has not specified when the new solution will be ready or if it will apply to existing models, the regulatory pressure accelerates the times. At the moment we are waiting to know in detail what is the system that finally ends up applying the company. Cover image | Everyamp In Xataka | I always dreamed of buying a Ferrari.

Sending this 320 dollar goal from Japan to Spain costs $ 29. Sending it to the US costs 2,000, and it is not a typographic error

by

For international vendors, Sending certain products to the United States makes no senseso to avoid these sales they are going to a singular technique: not touch the price of the product, and instead raise shipping prices to absurd amounts. It is an infallible method and a curious response to Tariff policy restrictive imposed by Donald Trump. 2,000 dollars to send a product of 320. A Japanese eBay seller called Ninjacamera.japan sells an objective for Olympus cameras that It has a price of $ 319.99. So far everything is fine. The surprise is carried by those who want to ask for that product from the US, because sending it there costs 2,000 dollars, when shipping to countries like Spain costs $ 29. In Xataka we have checked the data, and it is indeed so. Because. The reason is simple. As soon as he started his presidency, Donald Trump initiated a tariff war with everyone, but also ended the exception “of Minimis”. This exception allowed packages with value below $ 800 could enter the US without paying taxes. It is something that Companies like Temu or Shein They took the opportunity to “exploit” commercially in the North American country, but now that commercial shortcut has disappeared. Result: Send “cheap” products to the US is too expensive. The US online buyers have it raw. This exemption ceased to be active for China and Hong Kong in May 2025, and for the rest of the world the exemption was definitively eliminated at the end of August. The change especially affects US online buyers, especially those who take advantage of foreign online stores to acquire all kinds of cheap products. Sellers have an easy solution. As they point out in 404 mediaFor foreign sellers it is much easier to raise the shipping price to absurd amounts – like those 2,000 dollars for the photographic objective – than to erase their inventory products to exclude them from their sale in the United States. Goodbye to negative criticism. Not only that: impose on buyers the theoretical cost overrun to which the new tariffs would make them see how that goal of 320 dollars would cost them much more expensive and the rest of the users do not. If they do not know the situation well with the tariffs, they would probably punish the seller with online criticism of all kinds. These sellers avoid this problem to a large extent with the simple technique of raising shipping prices. Another example. As indicated In The Wall Street Journala customer bought a 77 dollar shirt from a Swedish brand and in addition to the shipping costs of $ 30, another $ 42.35 were charged for tariffs. The shirt was actually manufactured in China: while Sweden products have 15%tariffs, If they come from China that figure rises to 54%. Another bought components from Canada worth $ 640 to fix an oven and charged him no less than $ 1,192.12 for “government charges”, in addition to an intermediation commission of $ 128.17. An unsustainable situation. For American buyers the situation is really complex, and buying products of all kinds that come from abroad can end up getting extraordinarily expensive. The big messaging companies operating in the US —Fedex, DHL and UPS – indicate in WSJ that US consumers are still confused by the situation Despite its FAQand they don’t just understand the implications of tariffs. At this step the confusion will become something else. Tariffs continue to negotiate. The commercial war between the US and China remains at a delicate point. After an escalation almost comical Of the tariffs that one and the other were going to activate, both countries They signed a truce At the end of May and special conditions were also granted for semiconductors and electronic products. All these terms still do not materialize, but China has many more assets to negotiate than Europe, whose agreement with the US was A disaster for EU countries. Spain (and the rest of the world) are fought for now. This type of extraordinary uploads of shipping prices or “government taxes” surcharges only affect US buyers. That is the reason that the prices we see in all types of electronic commerce platforms have not triggered at the moment, but tariff policies and the delicate commercial balance could cause Notable prices changes that consumers pay when buying products abroad. In Xataka | China has found the formula to avoid reciprocal tariffs with the US: “dropshipping” of semiconductors

Give the keys of their war ships to Spain

While the shipyards in Ferrol continue to take giant steps to have the frigate of F110 class In the delivery planned by 2028, several hundred kilometers from there, in the surroundings of Cádiz, we also begin to work on the facilities of Navantia, who seems to move forward with a firm step to be in the world showcase as a reference construction company. It is no small thing: United Kingdom has given him the keys to the future of his Navy. A historical precedent. Yes, for the first time in recent history, a British war ship will be built largely outside the islands, with Spain as the main destination of manufacturing. The decision responds to the Harland & Wolff shipyards In Belfast, famous for having lifted the Titanicthey are not yet prepared to face a contract of 1.6 billion pounds Awarded in 2022. The agreement, which from the beginning raised suspicion for the participation of Navantia, breaks with the tradition that the ships of the Royal Navy are built in the United Kingdom or in British territories, revealing Weaknesses of the country’s military industrial base. The role of Navantia. The Spanish state company confirmed that most of the construction of the first logistical support ship of the Royal Navy will be carried out in its Cádiz shipyardsleaving Harland & Wolff only the construction of the bow at its Appleor headquarters, in England. The centerpiece of the helmet, which should be manufactured in Belfast, will be executed in Spain along with the rest of the ship, which has aroused criticism of analysts That they warn that, if this precedent is consolidated, the three units could end up building in their entirety outside the United Kingdom. However, Navantia insists in which the plan is “realistic” and maintains that the three ships should be finally assembled in Belfast if everything follows its course, with delivery planned in 2032. The workers leaving the Harland & Wolff shipyard in 1911. In the background you can see the Titanic bow Industrial crisis and foreign investment. The truth is that Belfast’s inability to enter production up to at least 2026 has forced the initial plan. Navantia He has committed 115 million pounds in the modernization of the British shipyards, of which 90 will be used specifically to the support ship project. The Spanish company He defends that this investment will provide Harland & Wolff for the necessary capacities to compete in future British naval contracts, such as the six amphibious assault ships and versatile support (MRSS) that the Navy contemplates acquire in the coming years. However, critical voices They point out thatalthough the British taxpayer pays a premium to sustain local shipyards, a substantial part of the added value is transferred to Spain. Political controversy. No doubt, the agreement has divided opinions in the United Kingdom. Some accuse the Ministry of Defense of to have been deceived With the promise that the ships would be “made in Britain”, while unions like GMB and Unite have avoided ruling at the moment. From Norirlandea politics, the reaction It has been pragmatic: The delay in Belfast is labeled, but it is accepted that having modernized facilities will allow competence of equal conditions in the future. For its part, Navantia Underline which is incorporating apprentices in the region and ensures the support of local workers. The tradition of “Brisionh Build.” To understand the climate that is breathed with the news in the United Kingdom we must go back in time. Since the end of the 19th century already throughout the 20th century, the Royal Navy defended An unwavering principle: His warships had to be built on British soil, both for reasons of national security and to keep alive that strategic industrial fabric that was Pride of the country. During The Victorian erashipyards such as Portsmouth, Devonport, Barrow-in-Furness or Belfast Harland & Wolff themselves became Naval power symbolscapable of producing battles, carriers and world reference submarines. Even in the moments of greater industrial globalization, London insisted In that the construction of combat ships should remain under national control, convinced that a war ship built abroad would be vulnerable to sovereignty commitments, industrial espionage or technological dependence. The empire and autonomy. The United Kingdom maintained this policy even in times of economic difficulty. After World War II, when the imperial decline and the energy crises of the seventies eroded the British economy, it continued to bet on the local construction of frigates, destroyers and aircraft carrier. The programs Invincible and Type 42developed between the seventies and eighty, they were built entirely in British shipyards, although at a high cost and with notable delays. London justified those expenses as an investment in Strategic autonomy: Ensure that, before a crisis, it did not depend on foreign suppliers to maintain the operation of their Navy. National pride. In this context, Harland & Wolff In Belfast it occupied a symbolic place: not only and as we said, for having built the Titanic, but for being one of the large industrial centers in the United Kingdom. Your declineaccompanied by mass closures and loss of jobs, was seen as a symptom of the loss of British naval power. For decades, successive British governments sought formulas to keep them alive through military contracts, aware that a shipyard who dies rarely resurrects. Hence, the news that a British warship was built mostly in Spain is perceived as a breakdown of a historical tradition and a symbolically painful concession. Implications for the “British” defense. The three support ships that Today they are news (classified as warships since its conception in 2020) They are intended to provide ammunition, fuel and supplies to the British fleet in prolonged operations. Its strategic importance is considerable, at a time when Royal Navy seeks reinforce your ability expeditionary and guarantee logistics autonomy in high intensity scenarios. Therefore, that much of its construction (time will say if the majority) is carried out in Spain reflects both the limitations of the British military naval industry and the growing … Read more

What are they, how your mobile protect and how to differentiate the best at the best price

Let’s explain What are USB blockersa very interesting security method when you are going to load your phones or PCs in public USB. These are adapters that should have when you travel outside to avoid unnecessary problems and dislikes, although they are still little known. We are going to start this article explaining what these devices and their concept are, as well as the way they work. And how No one will serve youwe will also tell you what things to look at and take into account when buying one of these digital shields. What are USB blockers There are two gold rules to take care of your computer or mobile when you are out of home: do not connect to a Public wifi and not connect your device to a public USB. The reason is that you never know when there may be a cybercriminal taking advantage of these resources to access your mobile through the very insecure Wi -Fi Public or collecting some malware In a USB. To protect yourself in a public wifi you can resort to a VPNwe have already told you the list of Better VPN. While, USB blockers are the ones that will protect you in public USB In the event that you have no choice but to connect to one. Because sometimes your mobile or portable runs out of battery, and the urgency of connecting to the USB that you see in a bar, restaurant or airport is greater than protecting you from a criminal who has put malware in it waiting for someone to connect to infect their device. And why is it dangerous to connect to a public USB? Because there are techniques such as “Juice Jacking” or “Choicejacking”, which are used to Transmit information through cable without your permission. Come on, that you start loading the mobile in a USB, and a program that was in it transfers a virus to your phone or extracts personal data from it. And this is where these blockers come into play, which are devices that make the connection to a public USB safe acting as an intermediary between the cable that connects to your mobile or computer and the USB port. Make use of a technology that does not allow data transferonly the energy. How USB blockers work USB blockers are small adapters that You connect between the cable and the USB port. It is something like a condom: you connect the cable of your device to the blocker, and then connect this blocker to the USB. Thus, the connection is made safely. This adapter has an internal technology that eliminates the USB flow data lines. Come on, for practical purposes Let the energy pass but block the dataso that you can use a USB to load your mobile or laptop, but they will never transfer data. If these adapters do not let the data pass They don’t have all internal pins They usually bring traditional adapters. Come on, when you connect a cable to a USB adapter, there are a series of pins that must coincide to transfer both data and energy. In these blockers, those responsible for transferring data will be missing. And it is basically that, as simple as effective. You are not going to have to do anything. The device has a USB input to connect the cable to it, and a connector to use in the public USB you want. How to choose the best blocker These types of USB blockers are not expensive, but it is convenient to take precautions. For a start, Be careful with the cheapestbecause they could not block all the data reliably, or could interfere with the fast charge. Specifically, you must look at the explicitly indicating that They have unlocked The lines USB-C Superspeed and USB2 D+/D-. These terms may not tell you anything, but they are the ones that ensure that data transfer is cut, but that has fast charging. Finally, keep in mind that USB blockers are not going to protect you from everything. They only serve to remove the connection lines, but there may be other dangers that use other techniques. Therefore, an external battery or a traditional plug will always be a better option than a public USB. It is also convenient Know some of the renowned brands of this type of devices. For example, In Xataka Android They make us recommendations such as This Startech model. In it, you can notice that it is physically seen that it does not have all the pins of the traditional USB adapters.

A plan with 1,000 companies and billions at stake

by

For decades, when there was talk of technological innovation, there was an inevitable destination: Silicon Valley. From that strip of northern California advances were promoted that marked the lives of millions of people worldwide. There were companies that today are part of our day to day, such as Apple, Google, Nvidia, Adobe or Netflix, and there a cultural imaginary was also forged that made Silicon Valley synonymous with synonym of modernity. The term not only defines a place, it is also a brand What have we seen in series, movies and even the way we think about technology. Today, however, other regions of the planet begin to claim their space, with the ambition to balance, or at least approach, to the symbolic and economic weight of that Californian cradle of innovation. And in that struggle, one of the most striking movements comes from China. Shanghai has put A project that seeks to transform Zhangjiang, into Pudong, in what we could interpret as its own Silicon Valley of artificial intelligence. The goal is as specific as huge: create an ecosystem with 1,000 new companies from here to 2030, reach an industrial volume of 100,000 million yuanes, one 12,000 million euros to change, and raise an innovation center with global influence, According to the Xinhua state agency. They are figures that impose respect. If the announcement came from any other part of the world, it could sound more to aspiration than tangible plan. Because gathering a thousand artificial intelligence startups In just five yearsmoving more than 10,000 million euros in such a short time and also pretending world influence is not precisely a simple task. But we talk about China, a country that in recent years has proven to be able to turn its ads into realities. The transformation of its technological industry is evident. China is no longer limited to being the world factory That supplies the devices we use every day, also innova. And he does it hard. There are cases like Deepseek in the field of artificial intelligence or Unitree Robotics In Robotics, companies that have climbed positions until they become international referents. China is no longer limited to being the world factory. There is another key element: resilience against external restrictions. The United States has imposed severe limits to Chinese access to the most advanced technology, From nvidia leading chips Until the Lithography Machinery of Advanced Nodes of ASML. And, despite this, China has managed to respond. Huawei’s example, who managed to develop a 5G chip in full technological fencehe surprised his own and strangers in Washington and showed the country’s ability to advance even under pressure. This context feeds an inevitable question: can Zhangjiang become the Silicon Valley of artificial intelligence? For now there are no definitive answers. What we do have is a plan with clear goals. If it will end up being a new Silicon Valley or not, only time will say it. But the movement is already underway and deserves to be followed closely. Shanghai’s commitment to convert Zhangjiang into a magnet of companies, talent and capital To land the promise, it is convenient to go down to the facts: on September 16 it was inaugurated in the heart of Zhangjiang Science City the call Zhangjiang Artificial Intelligence Innovation Townthe starting point from which to understand what the project is, where it unfolds and what goals has been set for the next few years. It is not about lifting a technology park from scratch, but to integrate existing spaces such as Moli Community, a residential and innovative area, AI Island, a park specialized in artificial intelligence, or the Moli Twin Towers. The idea is clear: that this concentration works as an innovation engine, test terrain for new applications and fertile space for startups and large companies. In official words, ambition is to build a place of “low cost of innovation and high intelligence density”, With an eye on attracting talent and accelerating the implementation of artificial intelligence in specific scenarios. The project is displayed by a planned surface of 2 square kilometers, According to China News. The heart of the area brings together more than 700,000 square meters of industrial spaces and is based on 1,000,000 square meters of facilities. Less than 3 kilometers are added 7,000 homes aimed at talent. The sources that we have consulted do not clarify whether these figures correspond to new work or existing resources. The plan has set two clear horizons. By 2027, the goal is to have gathered more than 500 new artificial intelligence companies, complete the registration of 100 large models and have consolidated between three and five companies with a vocation of global leadership. The second milestone arrives in 2030, with the aim of reaching the 1,000 new companies and an industrial volume of 100,000 million yuan. The inauguration of September 16 marked the beginning of that road. The premiere was not symbolic. At the inauguration The first twenty companies were presented. They do not reach a desert, because since July 28, when the concept of the initiative was announced, more than forty companies had already joined. To attract companies and talent, Pudong has launched what he calls the “Ten high quality measures”From Zhangjiang AI Innovation Town. The menu includes rentals from 1 yuan (0.12 euros) per square meter and day, free accommodation between one and two weeks for equipment in the initial phase, low -cost youth apartments with a Maximum 2,000 yuan (239 euros) per month for three years, and a system of coupons that cover up to 100 percent in computing services, models or linguistic corpus, with stops of one million yuan per category. To this are added support for “AI demonstration scenarios” of up to 10 million yuan (1.2 million euros), among other incentives. Capital is also part of the design. The inauguration announced the Zhangjiang AI Innovation Town Link Fund, a fund of 2,000 million yuan created by Hillhouse Venture and the Pudong Public Investment Group. Its function is to … Read more

purifies it and sells it as CO2 to make soft drinks

by

In Garray, a town of Soria, the smoke of a biomass plant is no longer lost in the air. There they have mounted a plant capable of catching the CO₂, clean it and sell it as if it were any other industrial product. The result is called “Co₂ Green” and today travels to refreshment factories, greenhouses or chemical companies. What was previously a residue is now a raw material. Short. The Life Co₂-Intbio project He has joined The Garray Biomass plant, underway since 2013, with a system to capture, clean and liquefied CO₂. It was developed for four years With a budget of 8.9 million eurosof which the EU contributed 1.9 million. The consortium is leaded by the Natural Heritage Foundation of Castilla y León, together with Metal Carbides, Garray Bioelectric and Enso Operations & Maintenance. According to project documentationthe objective is to demonstrate the technical and economic viability and create new value chains for a “green” commercial co₂. More in depth. The key is in the connection between the biomass central and the capture plant. Biomass provides biogenic combustion gases and energy/steam; The new plant, Designed by metal carbidessubject them to a process of chemical absorption with amines, followed by filtering, cooled and distillation. The result is liquefied and purified to food quality, Certificate under the FSSC 22000 standard. The complex has the capacity to produce up to 33,000 tons per year of “CO₂ Green”, which is distributed to beverage, greenhouses and chemistry companies in the area. In addition, proximity avoids long -distance transport: the project monitoring tool estimates a saving of about 295 tons of CO₂ per year only in logistics. And the plan includes a potential stop of up to 50,000 t/year if production is extended, According to the project itself. The first of its kind? Here it should clarify. This type of installation applies to a very concrete niche within carbon capture, since these are biogenic emissions, from biomass. In other words, it is not about the centrals that are dedicated To capture and store (CCS) nor of Direct air capture (DAC)but they transform it into a commercial product. Some media They mention it as the first European installation in operation dedicated to capture and value biogenic CO2 with food use at an industrial scale. However, other countries begin to explore this road: in Denmark, the Kassø project of European Energy This year began to produce e-methanol Using Co₂ captured a biogas plant, and the Tønder Biogas plant announced the first biogenic supply for that chain, According to information published by the company. The difference of Soria is that it already operates at an industrial scale and its CO₂ is not buried, but is used in the local economy. Another type of capture. Europe does not start from zero. In Norway, the Northern Lights consortium (Equinor, Shell, Totalenergies) injected the first tons of CO₂ into the Aurora submarine reservoir, 2,600 meters under the seabed. In parallel, the Heidelberg Materials cement inaugurated the Brevik CCS plant, the first large -scale industrial capture in the cement sector. There the co₂ of the furnaces is captured, liquefied and sent by boat to Northern Lights for storage. In other words, Brevik captures and dawns storage, Two pieces of the same CCS chain. New advances. Garray demonstrates that capturing biogenic and using it is technically and commercially viable in Europe. While Norway opens the way to large -scale geological storage, Castilla y León shows that the use of CO₂ can activate local economy and cut emissions tangible. The difficult – and decisive – will be climbing without self -enhanced: apply this tool where it provides value, replicate it in other parts of Europe and, above all, accompany it of what remains the most urgent task: emit less greenhouse gases.

Google has just integrated its AI in Chrome. It is the beginning of the end of the traditional browser

by

The tools The generative is fine, but an AI that is fully integrated into our browser can be even better, Perplexity comet It is a good example. If we join the AI ​​with The most used browser in the world The potential is huge. Google has just announced one of the biggest updates for Chrome, one in which AI is the absolute protagonist. Why is it important. Microsoft Copilot in Edge, Perplexity comet, Brave… The career of the browsers with AI already has a route, but few have the draft that Chrome has (largely because it is the one that comes by default in Android). In fact, we have seen attempts to bring the AI ​​Chrome as Chatgpt Search extension either Claude’sbut Google has just taken a step that marks a turning point, not only for AI browsers, but for how we look on the Internet.

According to Google, we can ask complex questions and deepen more on a topic, directly in the same place where we do the “normal” searches.

The spectrum belongs to the operators and will have to negotiate with them to display their satellite mobile network

by

In January we knew that Starlink activated the direct cellular connection for mobileregardless of whether or not they have satellite connection. So that the system, called Starlink Direct To Cell, Offer mobile internet to any mobile, you must do it through the frequencies that are in use by mobile operators. Here comes the delicate. The situation. As our partners say Xataka mobilefor a company for a company like Starlink or Project Kuiper de Amazon Give us mobile connectivity, you need to do it through the frequencies that are already used for classical mobile networks. The problem is that these bands are licensed by Movistar, Vodafone and Orange. A possible route. Taking into account that Starlink and company are competitors, it is expected that the operators will want an agreement in which they do not be harmed. A possible route would be to negotiate the use of the bands with the regulatory agencies, thus jumping to the operators, but it will not be possible. The GSMA has spoken. It is the Association of Mobile Operators and organizer of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Have published A statement in which they give a series of guidelines for coexistence between land operators and satellite operators. The document establishes that Starlink and company must negotiate directly with the operators, who are the owners of the land spectrum. Marking territory. With this statement, the GSMA does not want to stop the arrival of satellite mobile connectivity services, but to mark its territory and defend what has cost so much to achieve terrestrial operators. To put it in context, in 2021 The 700 MHz band was auctioned and Spanish operators paid more than 1,000 million euros for their hole. It has all the meaning that they are who negotiate who uses their spectrum. Starlink has already negotiated similar agreements with operators from other countries such as the United States, Australia, Canada or Switzerland, so it is not something alien to the company. Of the satellite to the mobile. To offer internet to any mobile, Starlink uses a network of satellites that operate in the Leo orbit. These satellites fly lower to facilitate connectivity, about 360 kilometers from the surface. According to Starlink herself, they already have more than 600 satellites from their Direct To Cell network that add to the more than 8,000 satellites they have in orbit. If you want to continue expanding it to more countries, they will have to reach new agreements and pay what corresponds to use the frequencies.
