Chile asked Chatgpt about their culture. The answer was so loose that Latin America has joined to create LATAM-GPT

Observe the development of Generative It is most curious. In the United States they are large technological, and startups such as OpenAIthose who have marked the rhythm. In China, companies are also developing their modelsbut the government has a particular interest in Push this technology For technological purposes, of course, but also social and doctors. And now Latin America has joined to create its own Chatgpt. It will be called LATAM-GPT And the motivation to create this model is curious: a Chilean center did not convince a chatgpt response on Latin American culture. The question. “Describe Latin American culture in 500 characters.” That was, how we read in BBCthe request of some researchers from the National Artificial Intelligence Center -Cenia- from Chile to Chatgpt. His answer It was the following: “Latin American culture is a vibrant amalgam of indigenous roots, African influences and European heritage. It is characterized by its rich diversity in music, dance and gastronomy, reflected in festivals such as carnival and the Flower Fair. Its art, from muralism to literature, shows a deep connection with the history and local identity. The warmth, the sense of community and the celebration of community. pillars that enrich this dynamic and diverse culture. ” I have to say that I just asked for it and the answer is different, but pivot over the same points, such as the fusion of indigenous, African and European inheritances, the taste for music and dance, colorful gastronomy and traditions such as carnival to give rise to a colorful cultural mosaic. LATAM-GPT. This response did not satisfy CENIA researchers, who considered that, although it is a Llm Of great quality, “his understanding of the Latin American context could be enriched and perfected.” Come on, they are convinced that the answer, although correct in broad strokes, needs to qualify a lot to better reflect the peculiarities of the culture of each Latin American country because Chatgpt gave an answer too … Generalist. And that response for the region user will be LATAM-GPT. The intention is to be a Language model of and for Latin America and the Caribbean. The desire is that it addresses the common problems that language models have when interpreting idioms, cultural references and typical expressions of the Latin American context. Álvaro Soto, director of Cenia, states that US models hallucinate because Latin American data with which they have been trained are very scarce. “We do not seek to compete with Openai or one of the giants. We want an own model of Latin America and the Caribbean, with the cultural requirements and challenges that implies” – Cenia Goals. It is triple. On the one hand, what we have just mentioned: that it has a greater context when addressing issues related to the culture of each of the Latin American countries. On the other, that is open and public, allowing each developer to adapt applications to local needs in areas such as education, politics, economy or the environment. Finally, perhaps the most important for something that countries in the region are looking for: stop depending on foreign models and technologies. Mexico, for example, has put on the table the intention of carrying out different projects within a great umbrella called Plan Mexico which seeks to enhance the sovereignty of the nation in several matters, being the technological one -with its own semiconductor industry or of electric vehicles– One of its legs. Financing. With Latam-GPT, it also seeks to promote technological innovation of the region thanks to a tool that can help others seek to develop their potential. But of course, carrying out something like that requires money, and it is something that is not going to be left only in the Cenia. Chile has postulated as the leader of the project, but countries such as Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, Costa Rica or Ecuador have not taken long to join. There are also Spanish and American institutions on this ship. It has financial support from associations and academic institutions of these countries, but there is also government support to develop this artificial intelligence. Several countries are immersed in Latam-GPT Resources. For training, researchers will use the infrastructure of the University of Tarapacá, in Chile. It will use a super -tank to train the model with more than 8 TB of data collected from public and private libraries. That training will take about 40 days and it is expected that, for summer of this 2025, LATAM-GPT can be accessed. Investment in infrastructure will be about 10 million dollars. Now, one of the problems can be the consumption of the training center. We have already seen in Spain that Not everyone looks good the installation of Data centers To train AI due to high consumption of both water and energy, but from CENIA they expose that consumption in the first of the two stages will be 135 kWh. The University of Tarapacá is in Aricato northern Chile, where there are A great energy matrix composed of renewables and the idea is to ‘throw’ of them to supply electricity. In addition, from the agency they comment that “the cooling system – of the servers – will not generate water consumption due to the availability of cheap and abundant energy in Arica. CO₂ emissions associated with training will be 0.96 tons.” Necessary? This would be, if the accounts are correct, that the training of this LLM will be more ecological than that of Google or OpenAi models, but there are some challenges ahead. One has to do with the protection of data they use to train the model. The researchers affirm that the main policy for the shelter of intellectual property will be transparency, with open sources that comply with the copyright laws And, at the same time, make automatisms of Anonymization of personal data. On the other hand, there are those who ask that all this … for what. Ulysses Mejías, of Mexican origin, is a professor at the State University of New York and has … Read more

Salt water, CO2 and electricity are the new recipe to create more sustainable cement and concrete

Cement is one of the most used artificial materials on the planet, but has two problems. The first, environmentalsince its production emits a remarkable amount of greenhouse gases. The second, the shortage of raw materials such as sand, whose mined also has an environmental impact. A new material. A team of researchers from the Northwestern University and the company ️Cemex Innovation Holding has developed A new construction material through a process that combines marine water, carbon dioxide (CO2) and electricity. This new material can be used in the production of cement and concrete and, according to its developers, in its production more CO2 than it emits. That is why the new material has the ability to make the most sustainable cement and concrete production. Salt water, CO2 and current. The method to create the new material begins by introducing electrodes in the salt water to circulate an electric current that separates water molecules into hydrogen gas and hydroxide ions. As explained by the development responsibleWhile the current circulates, CO2 bubbles are added to the water in order to change the chemical composition of the water by increasing the concentration of bicarbonate ions. The ions of these two compounds (hydroxide and bicarbonate) react with other ions that can be dissolved in marine water, such as calcium and magnesium. From these chemical reactions both calcium carbonate (CACO3) and magnesium hydroxide arise. The first compound, Continue explaining the teamit is in itself a carbon sink; The second, on the other hand, is able to capture additional carbon interacting with CO2 molecules. Copying nature. According to its developers, the process is similar to that used by corals and mollusks to build their structures and shells. The key difference is that these animals use their own metabolism instead of electrical energy to detonate the chemical process. Different uses. The resulting material, a Mixture of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxidecan be used as a substitute for the sand or gravel used in concrete manufacturing, but can also be used to produce cement, plaster and even paint. More control. The resulting material has an important advantage and that its properties can be altered by introducing small changes in the elaboration process such as the current and its voltage, or the duration of the injection of CO2, among others. Thus it is possible to achieve a more porous or more dense and hard substance. The details of the process and its results were published In an article In the magazine Advanced Sustainable Systems. Optimizing the capture of CO2. Another important factor is the calcium carbonate ratio and magnesium hydroxide obtained in the resulting material. This ratio depends, for example, the captured amount of carbon dioxide. According to The developers explaina 50/50 mixture of the compounds can allow to capture a ton of CO2 for every two tons of material. A more harmless waste. The process, as we indicated at the beginning, begins with the separation of water molecules. This generates, in addition to the ions used to unleash the subsequent chemical, hydrogen reactions. This gas is not only harmless but can also be used as an energy reserve. Of course, because electricity is part of the manufacturing process of this material, it must be taken into account that the net emissions of its production will depend on the mix energetic. That is, if the energy used in the process emits CO2 that is not captured, part of the capture would be lost. Another detail to keep in mind is that a good part of CO2 emissions associated with cement production They are generated at a different stage of its manufacture, when the sand is crushed with the limestone and heated at high temperatures capable of decomposing calcium carbonate. This problem occurs if the material is used in the creation of the cement and not when it is mixed later with it in the production of concrete.

The Tesla Roadster is a castle in the air, so two ex-engineers from Tesla have decided to create theirs

We have heard of the Tesla Roadster Since 2017. almost ten years have passed and the Tesla supercar only delayed itself, having promised that It would begin to be manufactured in 2022, 2024and currently without news of any kind about its production jump. Tired of the wait, two former Tesla engineers have decided to create an ultralight and hand -made alternative. His name is Longbow, and his deliveries will begin next year. The concept they promised us. Beyond mastodon with hundreds of horses and thousands of horse horses, Tesla Roadster wanted to fulfill the fantasy of every lover of the Supercutives: a very fast vehicle, but also very light. Zero to one hundred in 1.9 seconds, 400 -hour tip speed, 1000 kilometers of autonomy and a weight of just 1,000 kilos. Basically, carry the mad concept of the old Lotus, Triumph, Jaguar or Caterham to a street electric vehicle. The alternative that comes. Tesla’s idea, at least until now, are just birds in the air. Mark Tapscott and Daniel Davey, engineers involved in Tesla, Lucid Motors and Byd projects, have decided to get to work and create an alternative. “We need a light and more driver -oriented sporting, an affordable and accessible one for those who love to drive. That is why we create LongBow. Our first two cars, the Speedster and the Roadster, embody everything that a modern car must be: agile, balanced, electrical and exciting. We are reviving an icon: the light British sports car” These two cars will weigh less than 995 kilos (895 in the case of the Speedster), and promise to be “the spiritual successors of British icons such as the Lotus Elise and the Jaguar E-Type”. There will be no difficult figures to promise: they will offer around 330 hp and will make 0 to 100 in just over three seconds. Its batteries will allow autonomies of between 442 and 280 kilometers, according to the model, and its manufacture will be completely handmade in the United Kingdom. How much does the caprice of the electric supercar cost. Longbow figure at 64,995 pounds (77,476 euros) the price of the roadster, and in about 100,000 euros the Speedster. Only 150 units of each will be manufactured, with a total of 35 special editions (Luminary First Edition and 25 Autograph Edition.). Reservations are now available On the official website of the manufacturer, waiting for deliveries to begin from next year. The extinction of Light Sports. Beyond peculiar and isolated cases, such as Longbow’s, the Radiography of Light Sports is not flattering. The trend with electrification is that of create overweight carswith few options in the market saving specific cases such as Toyota Gr86 either GR YARIS (both combustion). The dream of British Deportivo is still alive in projects for the wealthiest. Meanwhile, the rest is still waiting The affordable electric.

So we will never create an Einstein or a Newton

We are almost playing the AGI With the fingers, apparently. We do not say it, they have been telling it for some time true personalities of the technological world. Let’s see: Sam Altman believes that he will arrive In a few thousand daysbut of course, you need to create Hype To raise more and more funds. XAI’s slogan, Elon Musk’s startup – known by His unfulfilled promises-, indicates that with its AI we can “understand the universe.” Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, also believes that We will create an AGI in five years (And meanwhile, he will swell Gpus). And demis Hassabis, CEO of Deepmind, It seems to coincidealthough we must admit that Google seems to be something more cautious with those statements. But all that are promises. Expectations Smoke. The unfortunate optimism of this industry has caused a colossal gold fever in which investments Bets in new startups and especially in data centers –Hello, Stargate– They are absolutely spectacular and more typical of a bubble. Can these expectations meet? Clear. But nothing ensures 1) When we can have an AGI and especially 2) that in fact we get to have it. And that is an important problem, because the expectations about AI have shot themselves, and that is dangerous. Is it a promising advance? Definitely. Is our world changing? For now, rather little. It must be taken into account that other past technological revolutions also took time and generated distrust and skepticism in the beginning. We have in fact famous cases of true zascas throughout the mouth in the technological field: Thomas Watson, president of IBM, said in 1943 “I think there is a world market for about five computers.” Bill Gates allegedly said –Although then denied it— that “640k (memory) should be enough for anyone” -. His great friend Steve Ballmer – who He has more money than him, That is to say— I laugh on the iPhone When it was launched. Robert Metcalfe, coinventor of the Ethernet standard, said In 1995 “I predict that it will soon become a supernova and collapse catastrophicly in 1996”. Then he recognized his mistake and literally He ate his words. There are many and important leg weather for people who theoretically knew a lot about what I was talking about. And all of them demonstrate one thing: predicting the future is not only impossible, but dangerous. And that makes us clear that perhaps we have to give a (great) opportunity to AI, no doubt. So we will never have an AI that Einstein or Newton just But today we may be waiting too much of her. It is just what he raised In a brief but brilliant essay in x Thomas Wolfco -founder and Chief Science officer of Huggin Face. According to him what they promised us – or what we are still talking about – is very dissent to what we really have. And what was promised and told is that the world of science will revolutionize. What will we have New medications, new materialsnew discoveries. And the reality is that although there is some news Really promisingthere are no revolutions for the moment. For Wolf what we have is “A country of men who say yes to everything on servers“, that is, that AI, although it is assertive and expresses its opinion firmly and safely, does not usually challenge users. And most importantly: it does not challenge what he knows. As he explained, many people fall into the mistake of thinking that people like Newton or Einstein were excellent students, and that genius comes when you manage to extrapolate those great students. As if making AI have the best student in the world was enough. And it is not: “To create an Einstein in a data center we do not need a system that has all the answers, but rather one that is capable of ask yourself things that nobody had thought Or no one had dared to ask. “ It is a powerful and probably true message. While Sam Altman said the Superintelligence I could accelerate the scientific discovery and Dario Amodei – the anthropic assured That AI will help us formulate priests for most types of cancer, reality is another. And the reality according to Wolf is that AI does not generate new knowledge to “by connecting previously unrelated facts. (…) simply fills the holes of what humans already knew.” Here perhaps the statement is somewhat negative, because the AI ​​does generate new knowledge and new content connecting precisely those data with which it is trained. We saw it recently In the field of microbiologyfor example, and also in all those works of text, image and video that make us consider what creativity is and if the machines can become creative. Wolf is not alone in that speech. Google François Chollet’s exingenero, now in front of the Benchmark Arc Prizecoincides. According to him, AI is able to memorize reasoning patterns – which are those used in reasoning models, such as O1 or Deepseek R1 – but it is not likely to reason alone and adapt to new situations. Thus, according to Wolf the current AI is like a fantastic and very applied student, but one who Do not challenge what has been taught. He has no incentives to question what he knows and propose ideas that go against the data with which he has been trained. It is limited to answering questions already formulated. This expert affirms that we need an AI that wonders itself “what happens if everyone is in error with this?” although everything that has been published on a certain subject suggests otherwise. The solution it proposes is to leave the current benchmarks. He talks about an “evaluation crisis” that makes the tests focus on questions that have clear, obvious and closed answers. Instead, it should be valued especially that AI is capable of bold approaches and go against the facts. “That may ask” questions not obvious “that lead her to opt for” … Read more

He did not create either of the two companies that made him a millionaire

Elon Musk, al Like Jeff Bezos And many other millionaires have tried to create the image of a genius that made himself starting from scratch, romantizing an image of the Garage Founding Myth even Apple has been able to sustain In time. Around Elon Musk They have raised many myths and legends that, although they start from a certain base, have exaggerated or omitted parts to contribute to epic to their career. However, time, which puts everything in place, has been in charge of denying. To name a few, there is the myth of the emerald mines in Zambia of his father, the Tesla Foundation or the unknown about whether Tesla itself or Space X would have survived if not for some of the government programs that now He is dismantling Doge. Elon Musk’s beginnings Elon Musk grew up in a wealthy family in South Africa. His father, Errol Musk, was a hustler with a career full of ups and downs. However, as his father declared in an interviewdid not own The emerald minesbut her shareholder, so she received a certain amount of precious stones for some years in the 80s. Anyway, Errol Musk describes During the interviewThat Elon Musk’s childhood and his brothers was full of luxuries. Among them that included the plane (which he sold to buy his participation in the Esmeraldas mine) or, as Walter Isaacson said in Elon Musk’s biography, “(…) swam in abundance. He had a Rolls-Royce Corniche Dorado convertible.” While it is true that during the Musk brothers student stage, Errol Musk was very far from being a millionaire and did not always provide them with enough money, he supported Elon and Kimbal Musk when they started their first venture, selling some of the Erroldas Musk emeralds in Tiffany’s of New York. In 1995, when the Musk brothers founded their Zip2 Business Board of Directors, their father financed them with $ 28,000 and His mother, Maye Musk, He contributed 10,000 more. Elon Musk denied this information In an interview For Rolling Stone, although he reduced the tone in his biography ‘Elon Musk: Tesla, Spacex, and The Quest for a fantastic future’ From Ashlee Vance ensuring that his father had participated in 10% of the company’s initial investment, making it clear that his family gave him a great initial economic impulse. More ambition than management After the initial family capital, Zip2 opened the door to new investors, including Greg Kouri, who soon realized that Elon Musk did not have enough experience to take the reins and degraded him to technology director, while Rich Sorkin took command. According to writer Ashlee Vance, the initial code of ZIP2, written mainly by Musk, contained many errors and the engineers who hired They had to rewrite it almost completely. Despite those deficiencies, Elon Musk did not hesitate to download their anger on them shouting in front of everyone who had to “fix their stupid shit code,” Isaacson said in Musk’s biography. In 1999, ZIP2 sold to Compaq by 307 million dollarswhich made Musk brothers a millionaires. They were the origin of the first 22 million dollars that Elon Musk won. After the sale of ZIP2, Musk co -founded the platform of Banking online x.comwhich later merged with his main rival: Confinity of Peter Thiel and Max Levchin, to form Paypal. Although Musk often presents himself as Paypal’s visionary co -founder, the truth is that PayPal’s original technology came from Confinity, not X.com, which contributed the user base. Musk was the CEO of the new company during the first six months, but he was fired by replacing him with Peter Thiel in September 2000, taking advantage of a Musk trip to Australia. One of the reasons were the constant tensions with Max Levchin for Musk’s trend to risky technological changes, such as replacing all PayPal UNIX infrastructure with Microsoft Windows. Ironically, “Musk admired Bill Gates, he loved Windows NT and thought Microsoft was a more reliable partner,” Isaacson wrote in Musk’s biography. That admiration It would not last for many years further. Although, as a shareholder, Musk earned a lot of money when Ebay bought Paypal, he was no longer in command of the company. In any case, his fortune had increased in 180 million dollars more for the agreement of 1.5 billion dollars with eBay. Tesla: Take control and rewrite the story Many people believe that Elon Musk is one of the founders of Tesla and in part it is because the founders of Tesla allowed it. Actually, Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 by two engineers, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenninglong before Musk got involved. Musk joined Tesla in 2004, when the company was still not clear what they were going to manufacture. Musk used his money to accelerate the project becoming the main investor. He appointed himself president of the Board of Directors, despite being just an investor, as the co -founders counted In an interview for CNBC. Over time, Musk took more control of the company and fired the original founders. In 2007, Musk fired Martin Eberhard and held the CEO position he still holds in 2008. Eberhard sued Musk, accusing him of taking control of the company, orchestrating his dismissal and trying to rewrite the history of Tesla in his efforts to appear in the company’s documents as a founder, when the company already existed when he invested in it. Finally, Eberhard saw forced to give in and sign an agreement in which Musk was allowed present yourself as “co -founder” next to the true founders. His great achievement was to appropriate a promising company founded by others, and then take advantage of his visionary image of the electric car. This does not mean that Musk has contributed to the success of the brand, but contradicts the idea that he founded Tesla from scratch. Public money to the rescue of Tesla and Spacex In addition to private investments, Elon Musk has benefited from billions of public money to build your empire. Tesla’s case is … Read more

The European Central Bank has been fighting for five years to literally create a “European Bizum”. Now has taken a key step

Europe wants to have its own instant payments system. That would allow the dependence of the great market leaders, Visa and Mastercard, and strengthened the European financial ecosystem. And the plan begins to take shape with Bizum as a great protagonist. Bizum is looking for allies. As they point out In Electomistthe idea is to unify the payment systems that are currently working in the various countries of the European Union. Bizum, protagonist in Spain, has its twin schemes with Bancomat Pay in Italy and Sibs in Portugal. All of them now pose to be interconnected with a specially relevant reference. Wero, the German Bizum. The Instant Payment System It has been since summer 2024 being the great alternative in France (where they used Paylib), Germany (Giropay), Belgium and Luxembourg (Payconiq) and Holland (ideal). This project of the European Payments Initiative (EPI) is taking shape, and it can precisely be the other great component of that fusion of instant payment systems in Europe. The ECB wants a European bizum. Sources close to negotiations indicate that the project is on the table. To get ahead, we would have that giant of the instant payments that for years has tried to boost the European Central Bank (ECB). A long -sought project. Five years ago the European Commission He started looking that “European bizum” with the launch of the aforementioned EPI. In the project 16 great banks of Spain, Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands participated. A year later the figure amounted to 31 entities. The objective, offer a unified payment solution with a payment card and a digital purse. But that has gone through problems. The initiative was promising, but the slowness of its implementation and the excessive budget necessary to achieve this caused several banks to withdraw from the project. As indicated in the economist, the Spanish bank had to contribute 300 million to the initiative, something debatable if we consider that Bizum has existed since 2015 and has a massive acceptance. Spain, Portugal and Italy teach the way. Last year Bizum, Sibs and Bancomat Pay began working on connecting their platforms and making possible instant payments between these countries in the same conditions as to the national scale. It was also the result of the Bizum Union to the European Association of Mobile Payment Systems (EMPSA), which was the consortium of southern Europe. That alliance brings together 43 million users, of which 28 belong to the Spanish system. Germany, France and Belgium were looking for something similar. Something similar happened with the EPI and Wero, which interconnected the mobile payment systems of Germany, France or Belgium and wanted to become the European Payment System. Now both consortiums have approached positions and according to the sources mentioned there are options to end working on an interconnection of all systems. This looks good. It is not clear if the conversations will end with a single European system – will Bizum be called? Wero? – Or if at the moment we will work on that interconnection of all these applications separately, but of course these efforts can be the principle of something great and important for the European panorama of instant payments. It is already known. Union is strength. In Xataka | The arrival of the digital euro is inevitable: let’s say goodbye to anonymity

Apple will not create an ultra version for each generation

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.

Marc Murtra and Emilio Gayo, the pair that seeks to create a European champion

The movement was a matter of time. Just a month and a half after The fulminant dismissal of José María Álvarez-Pallete, Marc Murtra has activated the total reorganization of Telefónica. Emilio Gayo’s choice as a new CEO is not just a change of names in the organization chart. It is the first visible piece of a deep transformation that goes far beyond daily management. We are facing a first order turn in the company’s strategy. And the game is played three bands. The Spanish government, represented by the SEPI with Its strategic 10%. Saudi STC, with another 10% that activated all alarms. And Criteria-La Caixa, the third actor of this new hard-acting hard nucleus. Murtra has understood that the telecommunications sector is in total transformation and has placed this vision in the center of its strategy. “It’s time for the large European telecommunications companies to consolidate and grow to create technological capacity,” The new president at the MWC of Barcelona cried out. The message was not subtle or wanted to be. Europe cannot continue with a fragmented telecos market while competing against US and Chinese giants operating in oligopolic conditions. The battle for technological sovereignty is underway, and Telefónica wants to play in First. Gayo does not arrive by chance. Its results in Telefónica España – Revenue Failure, in Ebitda and in Clients For the first time since 2018– They are your presentation letter. An effective manager profile, knowledgeable about the entrails of the Teleco since 2004, which contrasts with the most visionary style and pallete transformer. The new Telefónica bets on a balance between Gayo’s operational execution (the good results support him) and the strategic vision of Murtra (his Europeanist speech confirms it). The next movements will also be a message. Each file that moves hides an intention. It is being created a trust ecosystem around Murtra, While emblematic figures of the previous era like Chema Alonso are on the tightrope. So much Adslzone First as The economist Then, each with their respective sources, have anticipated their imminent departure from Telefónica. The European telecommunications industry carries years suffering a paralyzing contradiction. You need scale to compete globally, but it’s subject to fragmented national regulations that prevent great mergers. If Murtra and Gayo achieve their goal, we could be before the first phase of an important reconfiguration of the sector. Telefónica seeks to position itself as a central piece of that puzzle, as The nucleus of a hypothetical European champion Able to stand up to the American and Chinese giants. In business jargon, a “European champion “ It is a company with the scale, influence and technological capacity to lead its sector in Europe and compete globally against US and Chinese giants. Internal changes are just the prelude. The truth game will be played in Brussels, where Teresa Ribera, a new competition curator, will have a lot to say about the future of mergers in the sector. It is no accident that Murtra has decided to make European consolidation its flag precisely now. The new Murtra-Gayo duo should not only manage a telecommunications company. Has to Lead a reconfiguration of an entire sector to compete in a global market dominated by large technology companies with the threat of telecos from both sides of the Pacific. The challenge is immense. And the pieces have only begun to move.
