The blockages that we saw in LaLiga make the leap to other sports. Telefónica extends them to the Champions League, tennis and golf

by

What began as a controversy associated with LaLiga matches has just taken a much bigger leap. The blockages that we have been seeing for months on football days no longer stop there: they also reach other live sports broadcasts and expand the radius of a measure that was already generating discomfort and complaints. The novelty. According to El Economistathe latter is based on a resolution of the Commercial Section of the Court of Instance of Barcelona in response to a lawsuit from Telefónica Audiovisual Digital. That resolution, dated March 23, authorizes Movistar Plus+ to request the rest of the Spanish telecommunications operators to collaborate in the dynamic blocking of websites that illicitly disseminate content over which Telefónica has rights. Always according to the information published, the measure will begin to be applied this Tuesday with The Champions League match between Atlético de Madrid and Barcelonaand will continue the next day with the meeting between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. What changes in practice. From here on, the matter stops being just a judicial decision and becomes a concrete operation. As we have seen, and according to the aforementioned source, it will be the operators who must collaborate with Telefónica in the immediate blocking, during the broadcast of the content, of IP addresses, URLs and domain names used for illicit dissemination. The information also places Movistar and O2, as well as MasOrange, Vodafone and Digi operators, within this framework. The scope. The key is not only in who executes these blocks, but in the type of emissions that now come into focus. If before the public conversation tended to revolve around LaLiga, the new information paints a much broader scenario: the authorization refers to “every day of broadcasting of live sporting events” and covers not only the Champions League, but also tennis or golf competitions over which Telefónica has rights. This obviously widens the playing field. Damage to third parties. The controversy around these blockades arises not only from their harshness against illicit emissions, but from what we already saw months ago in services completely unrelated to that circuit. As we published in Aprilseveral companies described traffic and revenue drops in the context of IP blocks that also affected legitimate services. Among the cases that we collected was that of OnlyTenis.com, whose manager placed the monthly billing at a drop from around 70,000 euros to a range of between 40,000 and 50,000 euros. The expansion. In that context, what we have before us is a clear extension of a strategy that is not completely new. The difference is that now the focus is broadening and, with it, so is a discussion that has been open for some time in Spain. On the one hand, there is the will to stop the illicit dissemination of content with faster and more forceful measures. On the other hand, the same underlying question continues to linger: to what extent this tightening can once again affect users, services and companies that are not part of that circuit.

We are champions in productivity with medium and large companies. The problem is that with SMEs we lose by win

The OECD data has been putting the red lantern to Spanish productivity decades. However, that perception does not Low productivity in Spain It does not fully adjust to the reality that reflect the Recent OECD reports. Such and as they highlight in The confidentialalthough the global data show a very discreet increase, companies of between 10 and 250 workers exceed productivity to the average of their peers in the OECD. However, the big problem is that 95.1% of Spanish business fabric is made up of SMEs with between 0 and 10 employees. What the OECD says about Spain. The OECD, in Your productivity report Of 2024, it evidences that the average annual growth of the hour per hour worked in Spain has been 0.5% per year, while the OECD as a whole has registered an average of 1.2%. That places the country clearly below the average of the Club of developed economies. Despite this scenario, a BBVA Foundation Analysis On the evolution of the total productivity of the factors (PTF), which combines the productivity of labor and capital to leave a photo closer to the reality of companies, says a growth of 0.9% interannual of this parameter. Which reinforces the conclusions of the OECD on the growth of productivity in Spain, which is like the Second country with greater growth of productivity in the last two decades. However, beyond the global data of Spain, the graphics of the OECD productivity study value the largest companies already medium -sized as a productivity engine in Spain. Thus, the OECD evidence that the mismatch in productivity is not so much between Spain and Europe as a whole, but among the different company sizes within the country itself. Total productivity of the factors (PTF) by country. Source: Productivity Council of Spain Microenterprises: many and unproductive. As recognized From the report From the Productivity Council in Spain, the most relevant feature of the Spanish productive fabric is that 95.1% of Spanish companies have less than ten employees, confirming that microenterprise is the standard in Spain, not the exception. According to the OECD dataSpanish microenterprises generated in 2023 an added value of $ 56,990 per worker, compared to $ 108,356 per employee generated by large companies. That means that large companies are 90% more productive than SMEs. The productivity of microenterprises is 15.3% below the OECD average and represents one of the main ballasts for the national average. He OECD diagnosis On microenterprises it is clear: having many very small companies limits the Productivity improvements and investment capacity. Medium companies approve with note. The highlight of the international comparative analysis is that, according to the OECD, “Spanish medium -sized companies have a productivity higher than the EU average, standing above the other advanced countries in their category.” In percentage terms, Spanish companies of 10 to 49 employees are 8.7% more productive than the OECD average; those of 50 to 250 employees 9.1% and those of more than 250 employees 5.2%. In other words, only 4.9% of companies in Spain would be above the OECD average, occupying avant -garde positions in terms of competitiveness in markets International The challenge: increase size and investment. The recipe that the OECD gives to Improve productivity Of these microenterprises it is clear, but it is not simple to apply: it is necessary to seek improvements in productivity through Investment and innovationimproving the value added by employee so that the business fabric gains size. According to 2023 dataSpain is at the tail in investment in machinery, ICT assets and i+d. Precisely, a Report of the Bank of Spain He pointed to productive investment as the key to business growth. The report emphasizes that private business investment had not managed to recover prepondondemic levels, while public investment in this area had recovered and grew at a good pace.

Forced to win, even to win, and wait for results of up to five gamesthe current European champion, the real MadridVisit to Brest In search of an impossible carambola that allows him to end among the first eights the league phase of the new format of the Champions Leagueto avoid a qualifier prior to the round of 16. Three losses – before Lille, Milan and Liverpool – mark the first experience of Real Madrid in the new ‘Champions’. Victim of his irregular start of the course, the final reaction with the victory at the Atalanta Casa scared ghosts and The winch to Salzburg left a remote possibility of direct access to the eighths open. To do this, Carlo Ancelotti’s team should not just win, winning for more than three goals difference to Brest, You must also wait Barcelona’s victory against Atalanta, from Inter Milan against Monaco, a draw between Lille and Feyenoord, the defeat in his home in Aston Villa against Celtic and that Bayern Munich does not go to Slovan Bratislava. With the whole day at play at the same time, aware of the difficulty of avoiding the previous qualifier of the eighths, Real Madrid will go their game. Its objective is to extend the good dynamics initiated after the hard blow of the classic lost with a win in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. Four consecutive wins with 17 goals marked. Encounters in which Kylian Mbappé assumed the leadership that was expected to arrive. Five consecutive games marking. Eight targets that show the dimension of a footballer who marks the differences. At a time when, in addition, the sanctions moved vinícius junior. Absent in two days of LaLiga. It also goes down in France on the last group day of the Champions League for card accumulation. It will be the first confrontation of history between both clubs, an adequate scenario so that Alaba will be closed again the chapter of your long recovery process After a serious knee injury. After thirteen months away from the playing land needs rhythm and Ancelotti has been giving minutes announcing nearby ownership. In case it is substitute, Raúl Asencio will return to the center of the rear for Lucas Vázquez’s return to the right side. The main doubt to resolve ‘Carletto’ is in the center of the field if Aurélien Tchouaméni returns to the medocentro demarcation. There would be no room for everyone, and that Eduardo Camavinga is still missing about to reappear after a muscle injury. The sweet moment of Dani Ceballos would have a break. Above, Brahim appears as the main candidate to occupy the vinícius hole, with Rodrygo Goes returning to his preferred demarcation on the left. The Brest, meanwhile, wants to close its participation in the group stage of the Champions League with a good mouth taste that has brought this competition and exhausting its latest options to end among the best eight, although they know about the power of the power of the power of the Real Madrid.

Insured to be at least in the playful, Eric Roy’s face the duel after have chained three consecutive wins in your championshipwhat has straightened his Andean in that competition where they are eighth. The French coach, who knows well that his aura of the surprise team of the Champions League has been diluted, recovers to face those of Kylian Mbappé to the defense Soumaïla Coulibaly, absent since last November 6 due to injury. But with four casualties for the left side, which will force Roy to place in that position the Portuguese midfielder Mathias Pereira Lage, which can constitute a weak point. In attack, the trident led by Ludovic Ajorque, backed by Romain del Castillo and Abadallah Sima, will seek to create problems to the Madrid rear. The grass of the Guingamp stadium, where the Brest has to play its games because yours does not meet the UEFA rules, has supported the storm that Brittany has crossed in recent hours thanks to a good drainage system and its system of its system of heating.
