They are waters in conflict with Spain

by

Morocco has granted the Israeli company Newmed Energy a hydrocarbon exploitation license on an extension of 34,000 square kilometers in the Atlantic, off the coast of the Western Sahara. Why is a problem. Because the explorations conflict with the maritime sovereignty of the region. Claimed by Morocco, they are legally territorial waters of Spain, from the Spanish point of view. The Moroccan decision This complex relationship tensions even moreplay disputes about the Western Sahara and reinforces the strategic ties between Morocco and Israel, which have been narrowing in recent years, despite the geopolitical concerns derived from the Gaza War. The details. Israeli company Newmed Energy and Moroccan Adarco Energy have obtained an official rabat license To explore and exploit 17 maritime blocks in front of the Saharawi coasts, between the cities of Boujdour and Dajla. Newmed and Adarco possess, each, 37.5% of the permits, while the remaining 25% is from the Moroccan state company onhym. It is not the first Moroccan concession to Israeli companies. In 2021, Rabat granted licenses on another 109,900 km² to Ratio Petroleum and Navitas Petroleum. The conflict. The area granted is only 200 km from the Canary Islands, within an exclusive economic zone (ZEE) that Morocco established unilaterally in 2020, without international recognition. Both the Canary Islands and the Government of Spain have repeatedly stated that this delimitation lacks legal validity and overlaps with the Spanish Zee internationally recognized since 1981. The Israel factor. The concession is to reflect the approach between Morocco and Israel after Abraham’s agreements of 2020. and despite Gaza’s War. Through companies such as Newmed Energy, Israel seeks to position themselves as a key energy actor in the Mediterranean and North Africa. For Morocco, the alliance offers strategic, technological and diplomatic advantages, especially Before the Polisario Front (seeking the independence of the western Sahara) and Algeria. Now Spain will have to decide how it responds to these maritime and energy audacies.

In a corner of Andalusia the reservoirs are at 94% of their capacity. It seems excellent news, but it is not so much

by

Until a few months ago, drought was a problem that affected almost the entire country, even to the greatest northern areas that saw an important reduction in rainfall and even the introduction of temporary water savings measures. Now the situation has changed, although the threat is still in force in some areas of the country, especially along the Mediterranean coast. Odiel, red and stones, the exception. However, if we look at one of the maps that show us the Situation of Basin Reservoirs Hydrographic, perhaps otherwise what caught our attention. Surrounded by the great hydrographic basins of Guadiana and Guadalquivir, the Odiel basin, red and stones seems to show us a humid anomaly in the south of the Peninsula. The swamps of the basin are, according to the Last data availableat 94.3% of its capacity. This makes it the second largest hydrographic basin, behind the Internal Basins of the Basque Country (95.2%) and ahead of basins such as Galicia coast (87.6%) and the Eastern Cantabrian (83.6%). A figure that contrasts in a striking way with the state of the reservoirs in the hydrographic basins of its surroundings: 48.4% in the Pantans of the Guadiana, 40.5% in those of the Guadalquivir, and 30.5% in Guadalete-Barbate. What happens in this little basin for? Statistical issue? The first thing we can consider is statistics. The Hydrographic Basin of Los Ríos Odiel, Tinto and Piedras is a small basin, both in extension and capacity: the swamps of this Huelva basin can store a maximum of 229 cubic hectometers (HM³). Surrounded by greater extension demarcations, such as those of the Guadiana and the Guadalquivir, the most similar basin in extension in the south would be that of the Guadalete-Barbate. However, the Cadiz basin has A capacity of 1,651 hm³. This fact could justify the anomaly due to pure statistics: less capacity would imply greater ease for filling and emptying, more variability and with it more likely that at some time of time extreme values ​​are achieved. The problem is that the reservoirs of this area have been maintained rather persistent as the most full of the south. Rainfall. One of the reasons why the Odiel, Tinto and Piedras Rivers Basin attracts attention is due to the general contrast with the southern basins of the Peninsula, which in turn is associated with the fact that the South receives less rainfall than the north. Although that is true if we compare the north third with the rest of the country, the truth is that the image It is more complexand Andalusia is a good example of this. In Andalusia it exists A marked difference in rainfall between The Eastern Zone and the rest of the Autonomous Community, especially in the West. The province of Huelva is usually among those that receive the most water, being the north of the province one of the regions that record the most rainfall. To that we must add that 2024 was A slightly more wet year than the average in almost the entire province of Huelva. The beginning of 2025 has exacerbated this trend, with almost the entire province receiving more than double water than average During the month of January. The “dead” reservoir. The reservoirs of the Odiel basin, red and stones receive a lot of water, yes, but also others in Western Andalusia. To explain the phenomenon of this basin, perhaps we also have to attend to emptying. And here we find another determining factor: the reservoirs of this basin do not empty the same ease. The reason is pollution. This basin has a peculiarity, that of reservoirs useless for the contamination of its waters. To illustrate it, the El Sancho reservoir, The “Dead Reservoir” of the Odiel Basin. The waters of this reservoir are extremely acidic, with a pH value close to 3.6, to which high concentrations of toxic metals must be added, as explained In an article for The conversation Manuel Olías and José Miguel Nieto, both experts from the University of Huelva. The reservoir is in a situation of Perennial filling at 82.76%contributing 48 hm³ of waters to the accounts of the reservoirs of a basin that add up to a capacity, remember, of 216 hm³. The problem Nor is it exclusive of the El Sancho reservoir. Complementary explanations. None of the three explanations (size, rainfall and pollution) explains in itself the state of the reservoirs in this basin, but as a whole they can explain the anomaly of this basin and the associated problem.

Telecinco crossed a deep audience crisis. Until the key on ‘The island of temptations’

by

The hearings of ‘The island of temptations’ since The Montoya phenomenon He made his irruption on social networks have only grows, and have reached a climax in both narrative and spectators with this week’s galas. Although it will still be in the coming weeks with some gala of ‘What was …’ and the like, the last regrets in Montoya, Anita and Manuel, the tempting who generated a schism inside the couple has been the icing for this edition. “You have left me like a scolding.” It was alone One more of the many glorious phrases that the Infinite Andalusian Ingenio de Montoya. All immersed in a narrative that is hard to believe that he was not previously scripted due to his devastating sense of rhythm and his iconic Rancio melodrama characters (the hero who finds dignity, the liar who remains alone, The villain that punishes twice). Result: 16.7% quota and 2,103,000 spectators, the best Wednesday of this edition. The figures. They are not precisely nimios data: it exceeds 2.5 points and more than 300,000 viewers for the best audience that the program had had until now, three weeks ago. But above all, the most important thing: it exceeds the two daily titans and exceeds both global data and in strict coincidence of ‘El Hormiguero’ and ‘La Revuelta’. The motorcycle program had 13.7% of Share and 1,865,000 spectators, and well below, Broncano scored 11.1% and 1,519,000 spectators. Football again damages the latter again, since the Champions League in Movistar Plus+ made 8.6% and 1,139,000 spectators. The Telecinco respite. These figures suppose an oxygen ball for Telecinco, which remains the third option behind Antena 3 and 1. The triumph of ‘The island of temptations’ adds to other variables such as the final of ‘Big Brother’ and the Return from ‘Ana Rosa’ in the morningwhich makes Telecinco the option that goes up to January, with nine tenths. Of course, it came from playing background: its historical minimum in regular season (8.7%) and despite the rise, this February has been the worst in its history, with 9.6% on average. That is, certain notes of improvement are perceived, but the audiences remain abysmal. Ana Rosa as spearhead. Yesterday ‘Ana Rosa’ program, which returned in the morning after a dull evening stage in ‘afternoon’ (which curiously is working very decently in the afternoon without its alma mater) signed his best data since he returned to his original schedule: 15.2% of Share. In his strip, he led without possible competition, with almost two points of advantage, but could not stand up to Arús in his first two hours, which remains untouchable from 9 to 11 in the morning with 16.1% of Share. Even so, they are also good news for a Telecinco willing to grab any favorable data. Big Brother confirms the domain of the realities. For many headlines that monopolize its discussed final (which has made ‘tongo‘Be Trending topic in networks), ‘Big Brother Duo 3’ has both a confirmation that the formula is exhausted and that the realities They are almost the only resource of Telecinco to scratch respectable audiences (Share record -17.6% – with their end). With the failure of ‘Whoever falls falls‘, one of his great bets of this season, and the bass ratings of talents as ‘Next Level Chef’ (which You have to take over the strip of Late Night To give decent data per comparison), it is clear in which gender will continue to trust the channel. The future of the island. Now, Telecinco meets a reality that he had relegated to a secondary role obtaining his best audiences from the first auditions, so he undoubtedly has a very specific objective for the next edition: finding his next Montoya. Meanwhile, the new edition of ‘Survivors! The usual feedback of Telecinco programs, now at the service of responding to low chain audiences.

We expected a storm this Friday in the northwest, what we did not expect is that it was so strong

by

The synopsis was clear: intense rainfall They were back To the Levante and the southeast of the Peninsula, but they were not going to last too much. However, Aemet It began to point out the possibility that, then, Another storm arrives For the Atlantic. What has changed in the last hours is that The “extreme traffic lights” just jump: Everything seems to indicate that what is going to arrive is a high impact storm that will bring extremely scrambled time. What will happen? At the atmospheric level, this storm will be developed this Friday and will begin to enter the west peninsular. On Saturday 8 we will see how a very active front will put all the predictions up. The key will be that, despite not being an atmospheric river, it is true that winds (Ábregos) will have a southern component and will be warmer even if they come loaded with moisture. That will boost storm. And at a practical level? Three things: bad sea, intense wind and many rainfall. We talk about wind gusts between 50 and 80 kilometers per hour. With hurricane winds in the country’s high areas. We will also see accumulated “abundant and persistent“With up to 150 liters per square meter throughout the western zone of the Peninsula. In addition, although as a consequence of the temperature rise the snow level will rise, the high areas can receive a good amount. But we have to talk about something else. Yes, it is true that everything indicates that a high impact storm will come (one that, presumably, will be called Jana), but that is not the big problem. The big problem is that it has been raining many days and the ability of the Earth to absorb water will not be very high. That means we will see floods and overflows in many zoans of the country. Something that, As Martín León points outit will become even more worrying when the following storms (which can arrive By the blocking anticyclone of northern Europe that is sending it to us) continue to take rain to already wet areas. And what was that “extreme traffic lights”? It is a way to call EFI (Extreme Forecast Index), the ECMWF model index that measures the rarity of a phenomenon. Well, EFI values ​​for March 8 They will be at maximum And that means that, whatever, this Saturday will be a very adverse day.

Chema Alonso Abandon Telefónica. The wreck of the pirate that made an admiral

by

The announcement of the departure of Chema Alonso de Telefónica, advanced by Adslzone just before Mobile World Congress and already confirmed by Alonso in A video posted in your LinkedInmarks the end of a unique journey. The hacker turned into a senior executive leaves behind A wake as peculiar as his outfitbetween recognizable achievements and promises that remained on the horizon. Telefónica has also made this departure official In your official blog: The Board of Directors thanked Chema Alonso, to date Chief Digital Officer, its great impulse to the digital transformation of Telefónica during the last 13 years, as well as its leadership in the execution of the company’s Data-Centric platforms and the creation of the new relationship ecosystem with the industry and OpenGateway in its last stage. Chema Alonso will support Sebas Muriel with her technological advice in the transition. When Alonso entered Telefónica in 2012, after the purchase of his company Computer science 64 (then renamed Elevenpaths)it represented something unpublished: a technical root profile, away from the traditional MBA, ascending to the dome of a conservative multinational. His Appointment as Chief Data Officer In 2016 by José María Álvarez-Pallete, he symbolized the will to change in a mega-enterprise that needed to modernize desperately. Pallete was looking for insufflate an air of innovation in the Gray Ibex-35and for this he opted for a disruptive character even in his aesthetics. With his unmistakable blue hat and his scooter, Alonso broke the schemes of the traditional executive. His speech, full of anglicisms and references to digital transformation, intended to mark a before and after in the corporate culture of the operator. During his decade in The Great T.Alonso became the most recognizable public face of Telefónica’s digital transformation, Much more than any other manager except the president himself. He starred advertising campaigns and was the face of the teleco in corporate ads, such as An agreement with Microsoft. Image: Telefónica. Its undeniable communicative capacity (He came to have fun to El Hormiguero) and his technical domain allowed him to make bridge between two worlds usually disconnected: the technological avant -garde and the traditional telecommunications business. In his favor we must count initiatives such as the Global Data Unit, the development of Aura as virtual assistant – another singing is its implementation – and especially its role in the creation of the Telefónica Privacy Center, which advanced many of the concerns that the European RGPD. However, the deep transformation that promised its signing never materialized with the expected speed or range. Its main projects, announced with grandiloquence, translated into commercial results more modest than expected. Large projects, small results Alonso’s trajectory on Telefónica was defined by a series of ambitious initiatives that never reached the expectations generated. With three great examples: The fourth platform In 2016, Telefónica surprised the technological world when she announced her intention to create a system where Giants such as Google, Facebook or WhatsApp should consider the value of the operator’s clients data. The proposal, led by Alonso, proposed to create a mechanism where each user could decide whether he shared his personal information for free or if he demanded compensation. The announcement generated immediate headlines, but two years later, The so -called “Fourth Platform” – A Big Data infrastructure that should support this revolution – failed to materialize that initial vision. The project consumed important technical and financial resources of the company, but did not transform the relationship between operators and digital platforms as announced. Aura, the assistant who failed to connect In February 2018, Telefónica presented with great media deployment its response to Siri, Alexao or the Google assistant: Auraa virtual assistant with the launched simultaneously in six countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom. Alonso personally headed the presentation of this technology that promised to revolutionize the interaction of users with the operator’s services. Chema Alonso during the presentation of Aura with Hololens. Image: Telefónica. To promote the adoption of the service, Telefónica invested in An expensive advertising campaign starring parish parrots that flooded televisions and advertising fences for months. Despite this investment in marketing, Aura did not achieve expected traction among usersbecoming a tool used by a minimum fraction of the huge customer base of the operator. Movistar Home, the device without a market The next step in the digital strategy was to make something tangible. Movistar Homepresented in 2018, it was a physical device that combined touch screen and smart speakers with integrated aura. Among its functionalities was the possibility of making video calls (outside the usual platforms for it) or controlling the smart bulbs of the house (also outside the most used protocols). Marketed at 79 euros, the device entered a market already dominated by the Amazon Echo and the Google Home, but with the disadvantage of offering a much more limited ecosystem and dependent on the Movistar universe, Meager in possibilities compared to Google or Amazon ecosystems. The Movistar Home. Image: Xataka. The value proposal was not convincing for consumers, who did not see reason to acquire a device whose functions could perform with the smartphone they already possessed. Or with the command of TV. His journey was very scarce. The Teleco tried to boost sales with several strategies, including increasingly aggressive promotions for customers and several media appearances. Particularly notable was the participation of Rafa Nadal, stellar figure of the sponsorship of Telefónica, promoting the device in the Andreu Buenafuente program. Not to mention a disturbing Spot Together with the then cyclists of the Movistar team, co -starring Alonso himself. However, not even the support of the best Spanish athlete in history or the great cyclists of the moment managed to arouse any interest in Movistar Home. The last thing we know about the project is that a year ago he announced his return … in the form of an app. Open Gateway: The most recent bet In the Mobile World Congress of 2023, when Alonso’s innovative cycle gave symptoms of being exhausted, Telefónica presented Open … Read more

You can only get with sacrifices

by

We have been dreaming of a fantasy for years that Does not finish complying: That folding mobiles fall in price. Generation after generation we are seeing a trend rather on the contrary: they are increasingly expensive and exclusive, aimed at a premium audience. As in almost all sectors, Chinese manufacturers have had to arrive to reverse the situation: there is a clear wave of folding phones from China to offer alternatives. As long as we are willing to deal with the sacrifices that this entails. The price of current folding. Buying a folding mobile, in the event that we want one of the book type, is still available to very few. A Samsung Galaxy Z fold6 exceeds 2,000 euros, Magic v Honor around the same figure, and 1,999 euros Ask Huawei for his mate x6. A cheaper solution are Flip folding, with 1,200 euros for Z flip61,299 euros for the Xiaomi Mix Flipand 899 euros / 1,199 euros for Motorola folding. As always on Android, these are the starting prices and, a few months later, we can buy these much cheaper phones. Despite this, the tonic is clear: the folding ones have the price of a high range, even with specifications below. The Chinese war. Zte put the first stone. The company launched its Nubia Flip For 599 euros, a price quite below (practically half) of what these phones usually have. This figure has risen with the Nubia Flip 2which part of 699 euros. It is still much more “cheap” than its direct rivals. The key? Bet on mid -range specifications, maintaining a flexible panel. And there is no other left: if we want folding phones to be cheaper, you have to cut Specs. It is something we saw in the Mobile World Congress with Doogee, a Chinese manufacturer specialized in economic mobiles. This one that you see above is your V Flip, a processor phone Helio G99 (Mobile chip of about 100 euros), although with 8 + 256 GB of memory, 100 megapixel camera, 4,500mAh battery (with 18W, yes) and an AMOLED Full HD + screen of 6.9 inches next to an external 1.9 “. The company expects a price of about 399 euros for this phone, although it will be confirmed according to markets. They were not alone: ​​brands like Tecno sell their Phantom V2 Flip for $ 600 outside the European market, and companies like Frog Mobile (yes, as it sounds) also had a flip with the helium G99. We continue from folding as a mainstream device. Foldables continue to assume less than 1% of the total mobile devices sold in the world. With these numbers, and despite the effort of the manufacturers, we have serious doubts about the potential of this format to become a regular.

Sky Shield and its 120 combat planes

by

On that chess board that has become the Ukraine conflict into geopolitical key, it touches it, and how, to move to Europe. After the United States decision of cut military support (including intelligence) to Ukraine against Russian aggression, the old continent He has talked about “Rearme”but in the last hours a plan that It started in 2022 and that has never come to materialize. In essence, Europe seeks to activate a shield in the sky. Shield the Ukrainian sky. The current situation in Ukraine has led several military experts to present an update of the Sky Shield Planan air defense initiative led by Europe that seeks display 120 combat planes to protect Kyiv and the west of the country. Unlike NATO’s direct intervention, this proposal would work independently and be aimed at stopping Russian missile attacks and drones, without involving the battle front or east of Ukraine. In this way, the implementation of the protection system would cover critical infrastructure, such as the three operational nuclear plants of Ukraine, as well as the strategic cities of Odessa and Lviv. According to A recent report That has been made public, the strategy could be more effective in military, political and socio -economic terms than the deployment of 10,000 European soldiers on the field. What is Sky Shield. Originally known as European Sky Shield Initiative (ESSI)it is an ambitious antimile defense system plan that seeks to create a protective shield on the continent, one Similar to Iron Dome Israeli. Founded in 2022 after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it currently has 21 member countries, including the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Poland, Greece and Finland, which have agreed to cooperate in the acquisition, maintenance and use of defense systems. The idea has always been for the project to be integrated into the pre -existing Missions of NATO, always as a objective to protect the allied territory against aerial threats and missile attacks. In fact, its design contemplates three levels of defense: Short range (up to 15 km away and 6 km altitude) Half range (15-50 km away and up to 25 km altitude) Long range (more than 50 km away and up to 35 km altitude) Sky Shield’s key components. Originally, the plan combines various defense technologies Air from different manufacturers, both European and American. First, the Arrow 3 system long -range developed jointly by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Boeing (United States). Its characteristics: intercept long -range ballistic missiles before they reach their target, operated totally automatically and designed to intercept threats to great altitude and hundreds of kilometers away. Then you have the Skyranger System 30 short -range developed by Germany. It is a defense turret, a mobile system that detects and neutralizes air and land threats. The third leg is the Missile Earth-Aire Iris-T-SLM half range. Manufactured by Diehl Defense (Germany), it uses infrared technology to intercept attacks and, in fact, Ukraine has used this system since 2022, which has demonstrated its effectiveness in combat. Finally, The well -known patriot long range. Developed by Raytheon, it is a system widely used in Europe, so much that NATO signed a contract for 5.6 billion euros to acquire 1,000 Patriot missiles shared between Germany, Netherlands, Romania and Spain. Resurgence of the plan. And so we get to this week. Although the idea of ​​an aerial exclusion zone has been discussed since the Russian invasion, until now concrete progress has been made. However, the recent tense meeting between Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and his American counterpart has caused a turn in the European position. The Interruption of military aid flow and the restriction of Intelligence exchange On the part of the United States they have forced Europe to take a more active role in the defense of Ukraine and in the construction of long -term security guarantees. The Guardian told that among the main drivers of Sky Shield High profile figures in European defense are found, such as Philip Breedlove, a supreme excomandant of NATO in Europe, Sir Richard Shirreff, former general of the British and former deputy army of NATO, and Aleksander Kwaśniewski, former president of Poland. The former Foreign Minister of Lithuania, Gabrielius Landsbergis, has also joined that this plan represents an essential step for Europe to assume a leadership role in Ukrainian security. Risk of climbing and challenges. Yes ok The proposal It has been presented to various European defense ministries, so far there has been no clear response to authorize aerial patrols about Ukraine. The main concern in the West lies in the risk of climbing from the conflict to something much larger, since the deployment of European combat aircraft could result in direct confrontations with Russia if any aircraft were demolished. However, Plan defenders argue that the risk is minimal, since Moscow has avoided operating combat planes beyond the front line Since the beginning of 2022, which would maintain a distance of separation greater than 200 kilometers between European fighters and Russian forces. In that sense, the plan would not only reinforce the air security of Ukraine, but also would decongest your defense systems Antialea, currently overloaded and armament dependent manufactured in the United States such as Patriot interceptors, whose refueling has been suspended after the new restrictions of the White House. Reinforce the Ukrainian defense. The urgency of a Solution as Sky Shield It becomes evident with the recent Russian attacks. An example: in just one day, Russia launched 181 drones and four missileswhich, although they were mostly intercepted, caused the death of at least one person in Odesa and damaged infrastructure in the region. Ukraine has responded with long -range attacks through ATACMS missiles Americans and Storm Shadow Anglo-Frenchhitting objectives in Russian territory, including military refineries and facilities. Attacks and defenses that will become impossible over time without the help of the United States. Guarantee security (world). So things, with American support in question And a conflict that does not give signs of resolving soon, Europe faces the need to assume a more decisive role in the … Read more

Telefónica is 100 years old but it is now when you have to decide what you want to be older. Is facing its greatest existential dilemma

by

Few companies become hundred. Of those who achieve it, few have survived as many transformations as Telefónica. Founded when the phone was a luxury, a civil war, world war, dictatorships, democracies, republics and monarchies, privatizations, technological bubbles and digital revolutions has lived. But He has never faced a crossroads as existential as the current: Define your identity for the next century. He Mobile World Congress 2025 It has been the scenario where Marc Murtra, in his first months as president, has presented his vision for Teleco. A stand of almost a square kilometer encapsulated this Identity search. The Valencian artisanal spheres that decorated the space – a beautiful wink four months after the Dana tragedy – represented something halfway between tradition and modernity. A Perfect metaphor of a company trapped between two worlds: The conventional teleco that is seeing how its margins are eroded, and the technology company in which it aspires to become. Above, Valencian artisan spheres connected to the failed world to decorate the stand. Below, the Autonomous Drone connected by 5G that starred in a part of the MWC of the Teleco. The metaphor of the two worlds among which Telefónica trapped: tradition (the pure telecation business) and modernity (the technological company in which it seeks to become). Image: Telefónica. An operator in a hostile world The European context does not help. While the United States has three main operators for 335 million people, Europe has 34 for 450 million. This fragmentation, praised by regulators as a low price guarantor, has created an ecosystem where no operator has the critical mass to compete globally. Murtra was not subtle in Barcelona with Your Opening Speech: “It is time for large European telecommunications companies to consolidate and grow to create technological capacity.” A warning: “Europe’s position in the world will continue to decide and will not have the capacity to decide its future autonomously.” What until recently was a business debate has now climbed to geopolitical matter. The new president draws the battle with a sports metaphor: “We operate in a fragmented market, it’s like playing football with a hand tied behind our backs. If we unleash our hands, we will mark a few goals.” A GRADE OF Aid Shared by the CEOs of Vodafone, Orange and Deutsche Telekom, who joined the choir In Barcelona with an unusual voice. Pallete left a perfect paradox on the table: He reduced the debt in half (from 53,000 million to less than 29,000) while the stock value collapsed 57%. The equation is clear: Financial sanitation is no longer enough to seduce markets. The investment seeks growth stories, not survival. And that is where the technological jacket feels better than that of Teleco. And for her they go. The MWC as a declaration of intentions The demos that Telefónica presented in Barcelona are the anticipation of their future bets. It is no longer limited to talking about connectivity, but goes into more complex territories: Autonomous drones integrated with Open Gateway APIS, Security in the face of quantum computing challengesand its digital operations center for cybersecurity. It is striking that the Teleco did not simply show its 5G network, but the applications that can be built on it. Your demo drones He showed cases of health, environmental and logistics use. An effort to be in the value chain beyond the “tube” of data is appreciated. Beyond the dreaded Commoditization. The presentation of its technology Quantum-Safe Networks He anticipates threats that have not even arrived yet, but they will do it when quantum computing is more present than future. The announcement of an excellence center in this field, although without detailing investment or template Xataka On this matter, it shows its intention to become a strategic security provider. Enrique Blanco, outgoing Ctio after four decades in the company, has indicated that they have been working in this field for a decade, conducting limited tests in areas such as Madrid or Vizcaya. But perhaps the most important bet is Open Gateway. Chema Alonso, visible face of digital transformation (although An uncertain future), has presented Agreements with Tiktok, Cabify, AWS, Google Cloud and the Community of Madrid. The goal is convert their networks, so far mere highways, on platforms that generate income. Telefónica wants to monetize its privileged position as an identity validity and position itself as a technological intermediary between citizens and services. However, Under these modernity signs, the structure of a company born to another world persists. Its corporate culture, molded for decades as a national monopoly, collides with the agility that innovation requires. The More than 100,000 employees that still maintains the group contrast with lighter operators. Not to mention the great technological ones. The impossible referents When telecos have tried to reinvent themselves, the results have been lime and sand. AT&T opted to become a media company acquiring Warnerjust to end selling it years later. Verizon bought Yahoo and Aol, and then detach from both in half of what cost them. Deutsche Telekom, perhaps the greatest success case, has managed to better balance its transformation, but as its CEO Tim Höttges explained in Barcelona, ​​”today we make 65% of our income in the United States.” Telefónica’s case is more complex. Its international expansion gave it global scale, but also dispersion (a few days ago He sold his Argentine subsidiary for 1,000 million). And its telephone division Tech points to diversification towards cybersecurity, Cloud and IoT, but still represents a small fraction of total income. In the agora of their stand in Barcelona, ​​where more than one hundred managers have paraded tensing during the fair, Telefónica has sought to project a technological leader image. The problem is that the market continues to see it fundamentally as a teleco with aspirations technot as a true technological company. The transition is a long process. The absent host paradox The MWC has put another painful irony on the table: Spain organizes the largest technological fair in the world While your participation in the development of the … Read more

Apple will not create an ultra version for each generation

by

Apple presented yesterday, together with MacBook Air M4its new M3 ultra, the most powerful chip ever created by the company, with 32 CPU and 80 CPU cores, doubleing the M3 Max capabilities by joining two of these chips through its ultrafusion technology. Why is it important. Apple broke the expectations by launching the Ultra M3 instead of the expected M4 Ultra, and incidentally announced a change in its strategy: not all generations of their chips m will have ultra version. Something will change in its strategy with the high range. The context. Apple’s decision seems to respond to a market reality: ultra chips have a very limited audience and their development may not justify the investment. An ultra chip is very expensive to develop and produce, and although its price is much higher, many magnitudes are sold below than the m ramplones or the m pro. Until now, Apple had maintained a constant pattern with base versions, Pro, Max and Ultra for each generation. It will not be so. Between the lines. The new approach suggests that Apple is adjusting its chip development strategy to the real demand, no longer need to take each family to the highest level of performance, but can be allowed to alternate. The Mac Studio with Ultra M3 They leave in an awkward position to Mac Pro with M2 Ultrathat being theoretically the most powerful professional team, now it is overcome in performance by another lower model. Deepen. Technology Ultrafusioncreated by Apple, connects two M3 Max chips using 10,000 signals that provide 2.5 TB/s bandwidth. This allows both chips to work as one, offering: Yield up to 1.5 times higher on CPU and 2 times in GPU compared to the ultra M2. Ability to manage up to eight 6K monitors at the same time. Possibility of reproducing 22 Prore Video sequences 422 8k at the same time. And now what? This strategy could be translated into longer update cycles for ultra chips, reserving them for moments when technological advances justify the cost of development. For professional users, it implies that they must think more about what is the optimal time to update their MAC.
