Midni promises to be another success with Midgt and my citizen folder

by

The digital ID is Officer from today. The Government has approved by Royal Decree the use of the MIDNI app as an official accrediting document. The alternative to the physical document follows the wake of Midgt and confirms a promising tendency: that of a successful digitalization by Spanish public bodies. First, Midgt. In 2020 the General Directorate of Traffic launched In open test phase The application Midgt. Carrying the physical driving license was no longer strictly necessary -go on having situations in which to carry it is advisable-, and the app demonstrated to fulfill its objective perfectly, in addition to allowing various types of operations related to the DGT. Even helps us avoid scams When looking for second -hand cars. Then my citizen folder. In September 2022 A surprise would come even more striking. My citizen folder was the APP of the Government of Spain that allowed Bring us the bureaucracy to the mobile screen and make A lot of efforts especially comfortable. In fact, it was not only good when it was launched, but TOcaught. And now, Midni. The last to arrive in this series of official applications It is midniwhich is developed by the National Police and will allow to prove the identity of citizens in various efforts. Initially its validity will be limited, but little by little that accreditation will extend to many more areas. Midni does not replace DNI for the moment. As Explain The Interior Minister, this application will be available tomorrow prior registration with our electronic ID and digital certificate in force. It has the same legal validity and security guarantees as the physical ID, but this digital ID is a complement to the physical and does not replace it. Good for public administration. It will still be necessary to evaluate this new app of the public administration, but the design and development of the application follows the same line as the MIDGT, using temporary QR codes to verify the intention of performing an operation and the validity of the document. It is therefore logical to think that its operation is correct, and Show that good trajectory In this type of public administration projects. But there are many pending subjects. These are three fantastic examples that things can be done well. At least, for now there have been hardly any problems and many good reviews. However, public administration in Spain has a long disaster history and criticism When digitizing procedures: what should be simple is sometimes In a nightmare Or something simply impossible. The Digital Certificate Managementfor example, many problems usually pose despite being A development Already very mature and offering Important advantages If it works. Unequal reception. The MIDGT ​​app already has more than five million downloads on Google Play Store and an average score of 1.8/5, while my citizen folder has been downloaded more than one million times from that store and its average score is 3.7/5. Theoretically the midni tool will be even more popular given the relevance of this document. As in the case of Midgt, the proposal is especially striking For those who have always wanted to do without the physical portfolio: Now they have one more excuse to do it, no doubt.

The extreme right is capturing children for its cause

by

The seemingly parodic scene came to share prominence with Donald Trump’s great day. During his first hours at the White House, the new president monopolized headlines with Elon Musk. The reason: all the best in front of the planet. For the richest man in the world, an act of euphoria without more. For others, a provocation of clear Nazi connotations that evidenced the turn to the extreme right from Washington. In Sweden they are seeing the echoes of situations like that. Children: Ultra Objective. I told it in an extensive Report the Guardian The weekend. Sweden is facing a worrying transformation in the panorama of the extreme right, a marked by an alarming descent in the age of the recruits, reaching children from the age of 10, especially in areas such as Värmland. Because. To understand the phenomenon, he explained Lars Stiernelöfsociologist and specialist in extremism prevention, which, promoted by the influence of figures such as Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who have popularized associated gestures To the ultra -right as described at the beginning, some minors have begun to imitate Nazi symbologies, but not because of ideology, but by simple fashion, without dimensioning their severity. This initial banalization opens the door to effective recruitment, where violent groups take advantage of the Emotional vulnerability of solitary, isolated and solid networks. Mutation of ultra -right. The British newspaper explained that although the historic Nordic resistance movement (NMR) has lost strength after its designation As a terrorist group In the United States, next to its side has emerged smaller and difficult to track, such as Aktivklubb Sverige and Gym XIV, who use social networks and Platforms like Tiktok To capture members before migrating conversations to private spaces. These organizations have faced international connections with similar networks in Europe and the United States, adopting a strategy based on the Early indoctrination and physical training for violent purposes, under the narrative of an alleged “imminent racial war.” Recruitment profile. Here is another key of movement. Unlike past decades, where strong young people predominated and with certain desires of notoriety, the current recruited are almost the opposite: vulnerable young peoplewithout social belonging and with great exposure to networks Through mobiles. This evolution has been key to feeding the loneliness and radicalization of boys who, without family or community support, find in these groups that false sensation of community and purpose. Plus: the pattern has facilitated the increase in the so -called “lonely wolves”, authors of attacks and violent acts without direct coordination, but driven by them hate doctrines. Members of the Proud Boys Leave, epicenter of the Ultra Swedish. And of all the enclaves of the European nation, the small town of Leave has become the main focus of activity of the ultra -right, hosting the Swedish headquarters of The Hammerskinsa white supremacist group prohibited in Germany, and serving as a meeting point for organizations as NMR and Visitors international, including Proud Boys. The Guardian explained that, although his presence is limited in number, his influence is significantwith training and indoctrination facilities, as was the case with Gym Club XIVrecently closed by local authorities. Racism, misogyny and hate. In addition, the speech of these groups is not limited to racism: they also promote hate towards women, the LGBTQ+ community and encourage conspiracy theories such as that of called “Great Replacement”. Here are names of characters from the called Manzhereas Andrew Tate or Swedish YouTuber Marcus Follin (The Golden One), who are presented as referents of masculinity and white resistance, normalizing extreme speeches among young people looking for identity and belonging. Digital radicalization. The path by which they sneak among the little ones is clear. The Swedish Security Service (Säpo), in fact, He has warned About the fast expansion of this radicalization Through mobile mobile and digital environments and video games, attracting minors who have not even reached adolescence. The combination of social isolation, political polarization and consumption of extremist propaganda seems to have created a fertile terrain for ascent ideological violence, normalizing hatred and threats in the public debate. A global phenomenon? Guardian ended with a Interesting reflection At the end of your report. The strengthening of the extreme Swedish right seems to be clearly framed in an international context in which figures such as Trump and Elon Musk have symbolically legitimized these movements. In this regard, researchers Like Jonathan Leman They stressed that, after the change of posture or turn of the United States In front of the ultra -right, these groups are now felt more close to the dominant speech. And although some government measures try to stop the phenomenon, such as the increase in surveillance and prevention programs, that lack of community ties, youth loneliness and the growing sophistication of digital propaganda with the help of algorithms maintain the alive threat and, perhaps worse, constantly expanding.

400 million euros for the electric car and the same as always

by

The Government has confirmed the renewal of the MOVES III PLAN. More than two months after Congress knocked down the decree boum in which Aids for the purchase of electric cars were collectedthe Executive has managed to extend the plan that already existed and make it retroactive. It will be available until the funds are exhausted on December 31, 2025 The latter is important because it does not leave any buyer that he has acquired his electric car in 2025 behind. Remember that the approval of a new Moves Aids continued to be approved. From here, uncertainty. To start because, adding those days of 2025, The approved aids exceeded the budgeted amount. With the successive extensions, 1,550 million euros were available but the requests added 1,579 million euros. And, secondly, because from the beginning it has been ensured that all purchases made in January, February and March of an electric car that will enter the Moves Plan (less than 45,000 euros before the application of VAT) were going to be delivered to buyers. In spite Xataka different companies. Now we know that the program continues in the same terms we had with a Temporary extension of 400 million of euros. A program that can support at a time when the registrations of this type of technology have triggered. Aids that have the challenge of being more agile The aid of the Moves III Plan, which now recover, have the following format for the purchase of a tourism: Electric and electrical car of extended autonomy (more than 90 kilometers of electric autonomy): 4,500 euros of minimum aid and 7,000 euros of help if a vehicle with more than seven years of seniority is accused. Plug -in hybrid (between 30 and 90 kilometers of electrical autonomy: 2,500 euros of minimal aid and 5,000 euros if a vehicle with more than seven years old is accused. Fuel battery (without minimal autonomy): 4,500 euros of minimum aid and 7,000 euros of help if a vehicle is accused more than seven years old. These amounts They increase by 10% When the task of the vehicle is taxi, it is purchased by a person with reduced mobility or in a municipality with less than 5,000 inhabitants. In addition, with the extension of the Moves III Plan, the 15% dismissal in the income statement for the purchase of an electric car (with a maximum of 3,000 euros. The fall in aid had arrived at the worst time because the market gave symptoms that this technology was taken off. In fact, with figures from the first quarter of the yearWe know that the electric car has grown by 64.22%, until reaching 22,028 registrations. But, above all, it has been 6.66% market share, which is a great advance for previous years where it did not pass or cost to reach 5%. It remains to know how many of these registrations were already closed before the fall in January of the Moves III Plan and are being registered now. With the registrations of the month of April we should verify If the fall of the Moves III Plan was leaving a lot of hangover in the market or purchases have continued. What we will not have is a change in the bureaucracy of aid. Asked for this, Sara Aagesen, Minister for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, has assured that He has worked to expedite processes But aid will continue to be processed by the Autonomous Communities. The current process has been repeatedly criticized by manufacturers and buyers since the delivery of aid was delayed to the point that some clients did not see the entry of them Until more than three years old. More than a year ago than The Government promised To change this and deliver the aid as a discount that we would find when buying the car. At the moment, it has not happened.

take the wallet in your pocket

by

He Digital DNI is already a reality. Without alharacas or large ads, the Council of Ministers has approved the regulations that grants legal validity to this document in virtual format. It looks like a minor change, but represents the last bastion we needed to tear down to complete A silent transformation that has been taking years: the disappearance of the physical portfolio. The cash ceased to be essential, except for residual cases, first replaced by plastic and then by our smartphones. Mobile payments have been normalized so much that Bizum It has gone from being a technological curiosity to a verb of common use. Fidelization cards, formerly necessary evils that occupied space in our wallets, are now QR codes in applications. Until The driving card already has its digital version For years, with total validity. Only the DNI was left, that document that We all had “just in case”the last anchor to a tangible world that vanishes. This change brings evident advantages in security. A stolen portfolio is an immediate disaster: access to our money, to our identity, to our cards. A lost phone, protected by biometry, passwords and encryption, supposes A whore A much smaller setback. It sounds paradoxical, but that is: we deposit our trust in something intangible precisely because it is safer than the physical. Of course This freedom has its price: The absolute dependence of a battery that is not exhausted. And of a coverage that does not fail. We face the risk of being temporarily “erased” from the system if our phone goes out at the wrong time. It is the new vulnerability: We are not going to fear the porterist but 1% of battery. Portable battery manufacturers have a lot of future. Those of leather wallets may not. The digital ID thus marks the beginning of the end for an object that has accompanied humanity for centuries. The portfolio, that little container of our economic and citizen identity, It will become something optional, almost nostalgic, as traditional watches in the Smartphone era and the smart watch. It will not disappear completely – there will always be those who prefer the tangible – but their essential function will have been transferred to that other omnipresent object in our lives: the mobile phone.

Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2007. They have found signs of the disease in their 90s books

by

In 2007, Terry Pratchett approached Rob Wilkins, his assistant, and told him that the ‘s’ of his keyboard had disappeared. He was laughing. I thought it was a joke, an innocent. “What the hell have you done with her?” He asked. But the ‘S’ was still in the same usual place: on the keyboard. After a few months of testing, the writer knew that the only place where the ‘S’ was disappeared was his head. Postterio cortical atrophy sufferedA, a neurodegenerative disorder typically related to Alzheimer’s, which causes problems to see, to process information, to read, speak and write. He died in 2015 In a small town west of Salisbury. When does dementia begin? That basically is The question asked Thom Wilcockson and his team from the University of Laughborough. Pratchett’s case was very interesting because posterior cortical atrophy has an impact on the use of language and this man wrote a lot. So Wilcockson’s team He examined 33 Books of World Disco (29 published before 2007 and four later) to see if there was any point where the first symptoms of the disease could be identified. And it seems that. Among the first books and the last, the researchers discovered a significant decrease of number of nouns, verbs and adjectives. In addition, they found that the number of phrases increased (something that, according to researchers, fits a tendency towards simpler language). The funny thing is that the turning point was not 2007, but 1998. In that year, Pratchett published ‘The country of the end of the world‘And it is the work in which the change in trend begins to become evident. “This demonstrates a long preclinical period of dementia and the subtle deficiencies that are not always detected with traditional cognitive evidence,” Wilcockson explained. It is not the first time that the equipment uses this type of analysis. They have done it with Iris Murdoch (who also died of Alzheimer’s) and with Agatha Christie (we suspect he suffered). However, not everyone is sane with researchers. Not because they believe they are wrong, but because there are many more factors to consider. In New Scientistfor example, Rob Wilkins explained that in recent years Terry began to have a much more intense “professional life” and that prevented reviewing novels as thoroughly as previously. Be that as it may, the investigation is fascinating. Especially now, at a time when we write (and do audios) much more often than ever. Algorithms like these could dive in our emails, our WhatsApp conversations and in our social networks to identify signs of problems many years before they become evident.

Those who clean what nobody wants to see

by

In September Japan offered a revealing and more terrible fact than the number of elderly who died alone in the nation: what They took to find them. In the first six months of the year they had 28,330 solitary deaths, but according to the police, the authorities took two weeks or more to discover the deaths in even 5,000 elders, 17.3%. The figure clearly reveals the crisis that the country suffers, a problem of such dimensions that has even emerged by its side an unpublished industry: the services that clean the Footprints of loneliness. The phenomenon and its “cleaning.” In Japan, the phenomenon of Kodokushimostly old people who They die alone And they go unnoticed for weeks or months, it has become A tragic expression of the accelerated aging and the weakening of community ties. Only in this way is the appearance of a Unpublished industry of cleaning equipment such as Japan Association of Memento Organization (Jamo), who are dedicated to cleaning the scenes of these deaths, facing not only to unhealthy conditionsbut also to the emotional desolation of erasing the last traces of forgotten lives. Workers, protected with costumes, gloves and masks, enter housing where the smell of decomposition and accumulation of objects reflect stories of isolation and abandonment. Booming industry. The increase in these cases has given rise to A CLEANING SECTOR specialized that, beyond their technical work, faces daily the Raw lonely death. Many of these cleaners agree that their work forces them to question the relationship of Japanese society with lOld age, death and loneliness. Had a wide Report the Japan Times that with a population that ages rapid A structural problem. Homes trapped in garbage. Months ago, JT reported a problem that is now reflected in this type of incipient industry: the growing crisis of Compulsive accumulators In Japan, a reality that mainly affects older people trapped between loneliness, social pressure and institutional abandonment. In cities with small spaces and strenuous working hours, many citizens accumulate objects and garbage to very dangerous levels, turning their homes into unhealthy and chaotic scenarios. The report spoke of cases such as Hana Fujiwarawho lost its pension notebook between mountains of waste, and that illustrate how this phenomenon goes beyond a simple disorganization and reflects a deep emotional and social destructuring. The case of Hirokai. Washington Post told An example of this new industry. The scene was heartbreaking: a stained futon, flies and worms scattered throughout the room, papers glued to the ground by body fluids and a housing full of garbage. Thus they found Hiroaki, a 54 -year -old man who, after months of having died without being discovered, went to swell the kodakushi list in Japan. The Next team, another of these companies specialized in cleaning scenarios of solitary deaths, was responsible for cleaning up the small house, without disgusting gestures or drama, aware that this is already A usual routine In the country. The case of Kenji Kono. The medium Time also analyzed The incipient industry through the history of Kono, a 65 -year -old man found dead by heat blow months after death only in his Osaka apartment. His body was discovered by the smell that alerted the neighbors, and after the intervention of the police, it was the company Kansai Clean Service in charge of cleaning the scene. Its professionals, led by Noriyuki Kamesawa, have the mission of completely restoring the spaces where these deaths occur, eliminating odors, spots and, in essence, any physical trace of the deceased. Its prices range between 200,000 and 800,000 yuan, and the service includes from deep cleaning to sometimes remove soils and coatings. In many cases, families prefer to never enter these rooms, totally delegating emotional and material work to these companies. Normalize abandonment. He Post related also that kodokushi cases have even generated the creation of Insurance for owners that cover the cleaning costs and losses due to unpaid income when a tenant dies alone. Hiroaki, despite having worked for decades in large companies, ended without personal networks, leaving behind an apartment saturated with memories and garbage, but without clear footprints of affection or significant links. Structural factors He population agingthe lack of solid family networks and The associated stigma To ask for help are factors that feed this problem. Many people accumulate objects not only by habit, but as a mechanism of defense against loneliness or emotional insecurity. Although Japan is known for its order and cleanliness, behind these closed doors a reality is hidden where elders live isolated between mountainsunable to break the cycle by shame or fear of being judged. The difficulty of intervening. The affected homes are usually Outside the radar of social services Until an emergency occurs Or, in the worst case, another kodokushi. These types of households complicate medical care, increase fire risk and They hinder coexistence in aged neighborhoods. Specialized cleaning companies and social services face enormous challenges when trying to intervene, since they must deal with not only with physical disorder but also with the psychological deterioration of those affected. Artifacts of a life. Here we return to the unpublished function of companies such as Jamo. In each intervention, the teams find personal objects (photographs, daily, memories) that show that these people were once an active part of society, but ended up isolated. His work exposes, not only the physical dimension of these deaths, but also the emotional: The memories that no one will claim and the lives that end without witnesses or farewells. Between taboo and dehumanization. It is the last of the stigma legs. The loneliness that leads to Kodokushi is aggravated by cultural reticence to talk about death. Many relatives and neighbors even choose to ignore signs or not intervene, partly out of respect, but also for discomfort or ignorance. Meanwhile, this lonely death cleaning industry becomes increasingly necessary, filling the void that society has left in the care of its elders. A latent crisis. The growing visibility of this phenomenon has begun to generate … Read more

Costco turns ten in Spain. Has not yet won a single euro

by

Costco has completed a decade of operations in Spain without having declared benefits, and therefore, without having paid a single euro in companies, according to its annual accounts and what was published by Digital economy. The figure. 143 million euros. This is the accumulated amount of losses that the Spanish subsidiary of Costco has declared between 2014 and 2023. However, its sales have multiplied by five since 2017, reaching 544 million euros in 2023. It has also increased its physical presence with five new hypermarkets, plus two others under construction. It has expanded its partner base to 650,000 (24% more than the previous year). Employ 1,256 people in Spain. It is building A logistics center in Guadalajara where he has invested more than 50 million. Why is it important. This case is an example of a common strategy among multinationals: artificially maintain red numbers in specific markets to avoid local taxation, while their operations and market presence increase. The company itself acknowledges in its accounts that “it has not had to satisfy any amount for societies tax in Spain”, adding that its greatest contribution has been “the generation of local wealth.” The money trail. Costco does not publicly detail which mechanisms to maintain constant losses despite its growth, but the usual strategies include: Loans between subsidiaries with high interest. Canons for the use of brand, technology or know-how. Transfer prices in purchases to other subsidiaries. Strategic Business Costs. The trend. The US matrix continues with its expansion in Spain, despite losses. The group has reduced its red numbers up to 7.7 million in 2023 (its best historical result), and the company projects that will continue with losses “until it reaches a market penetration and sales level”. Said in Román Paladino: until it has grown enough. The general panoramic. This strategy is not exclusive to Costco. Large multinationals such as Amazon, Starbucks or Ikea have resorted to different fiscal engineering mechanisms To reduce their taxation in the countries where they operate, within legality but they are not some controversy. Meanwhile, the Spanish client seems oblivious to these fiscal ins and outs: the 650,000 members who pay their annual fee to access the costco prices continue to increase, a sign that their model works independently of the declared red figures.

China is already unstoppable. It is finishing an ultraviolet light mega -source to make avant -garde chips

by

China has been engaged in its own “Manhattan project”. Unlike the plan that executed USA during World War II, it is not dedicated to the creation of nuclear weapons (China has them since the mid -60s of the last century); It seeks to put in the hands of Chinese companies the ability to MANUFACTE INTEGRATED VANGUARD CIRCUITS comparable to the most advanced currently produced in Taiwan, USA, South Korea or Japan. The sanctions that have deployed US governments and the Netherlands They prevent the Dutch company Asml extreme ultraviolet (UVE). Without them Chips Chinese, such as SMIC (Semiconductor manufacturing international corp), Hua Hong Semiconductor, China Resources Microelectronics or Guangzhou Zensemi cannot produce integrated circuits comparable to those who are already manufacturing TSMC, Intel or Samsung. China needs to have Your own UVE photolithography teams as soon as possible. Its economy, and, above all, its technical and scientific development are at stake. The problem is that developing this machine is very complex. In fact, Asml took more than two decades put it up. And he had the economic support of his best clients (TSMC, Intel and Samsung), as well as the collaboration of several owners of avant -garde technologies, such as the German Zeiss, which manufactures the optical elements of the lithography machines, or the US company of American origin, which produces the ultraviolet light source. China is finishing a gigantic syncrotron that will produce UVE light In the middle of last March several Asian media collected a photograph taken at the Huawei Research Center in Dongguan, in the province of Canton, in which it appeared The prototype of a UVE lithography team Designed and manufactured entirely in China. Presumably this machine is similar to those produced by ASML, which invites us to anticipate that for 2026 the country led by Xi Jinping will have the ability to produce advanced chips on a large scale. However, China’s plans do not end here. And it is that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is finishing the one that is undoubtedly the most ambitious project of those who are developing the Chinese semiconductor industry. According to Dr. Kiman expert in the manufacture of integrated circuits who has worked in Samsung and that He currently investigates for TSMC in the USChina is about to reach a “Deepseek” in the field of integrated circuit industry. This simply means that it is preparing to reach a disruption that has the potential to place this Asian country at the same height as the US, Taiwan or South Korea. UVE light has the ability to make the manufacture of integrated circuits with a higher resolution than UVP light However, China’s strategy to produce avant -garde chips is very different from what their rivals have used until now. As we have seen, each of the ASML UVE machines incorporates its own ultraviolet light source, but the Chinese Academy of Sciences seeks to generate this important radiation to produce advanced chips using a syncrotron, which is nothing other than a circular particle accelerator that is used to analyze atomic level the properties of matter, such as various types of materials, or, even, even, of proteins. It’s called heps (High Energy Photon Source or high -energy photons source), it is in Beijing and we can see it in the cover photography of this article. An important note before moving forward: the ultraviolet light (UV) is responsible for transferring the geometric pattern that contains the design of the chips to the Silicon wafer. This means, in broad strokes, that UVE light has the ability to make possible the manufacture of Integrated circuits with a higher resolution that the light of deep ultraviolet (UVP) that use the previous generation lithography machines that China has in their hands. And a greater resolution in practice implies that it is possible to produce semiconductors with more transistors, and, therefore, more sophisticated and powerful. A priori we can think that a particle accelerator has nothing to do with the manufacture of integrated circuits, but we would be overlooking something very important: the Heps syncrotron has the ability to produce high power UVE light. In fact, it is a source designed to generate a large amount of radiation. China’s plan is to place several semiconductor manufacturing plants around particles to which The syncrotron will deliver the UVE light in the same way that a power plant delivers electricity to its customers. That simple. The date on which China plans to start this megaphabrum of avant -garde semiconductors has not yet leaked, but as we can see in photography, it is already very advanced, so we can take it for granted that it will enter into production soon.

Your future is no longer in communications

by

Telefónica is about to complete a historical transformation that completely changes the nature of your business, as published by Expansion After the first public intervention of his new CEO, Emilio Gayo, in the great Catalunya Expansion meeting. The current situation. 43% of Telefónica’s business income in its four main markets (Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom and Brazil) already comes from services that are not communications. Why is it important. This silent transformation shows how the one that was a simple telephone operator is leaving its traditional business behind to become a diversified technological company. Telefónica is close to that turning point where more than half of its business billing will come from technological services, not voice or data. Right where I wanted to be. In detail. The IT technology segment is growing “in double digit” according to Gayo, while the traditional telecommunications business has already exceeded its peak of investment in infrastructure such as fiber and 5g. The investment ratio on income (capex) will go from 12.9% in 2024 to no more than 12.5% ​​in 2025. This reduction does not mean less investment, but greater efficiency and adjustment to real needs. The general panoramic. Telefónica seeks to redefine itself as a “tractor company” at European level, betting on two parallel strategies: Consolidation in key markets (Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom) where “will study any option that is raised.” Accelerated growth in non -traditional technological businesses grouped in Telefónica Tech. The contrast. While in Europe the operator is committed to growing and consolidating, in Latin America (Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay and Venezuela) will continue releasing ballast ballast that does not stop causing losses and erode their margins. Only Brazil is a big business for Telefónica in the American continent. The transformation began in 2019 and the results are already visible. In Spain he has closed 2024 “with figures that we did not see since 2018” (precisely a merit of Gayo before his new promotion), growing in all parameters. In the United Kingdom, he has generated “the expected synergies 18 months before the committed.” And now what. The question is whether Telefónica will complete this metamorphosis without losing positioning in your traditional business. Gayo has pointed out that Movistar Plus remains “a key lever” for the residential segment, letting read between lines that will not completely abandon its roots while reinvesting. The success of this strategy could mark the way to other European operators trapped between American technological giants and Asian manufacturers.
