plans

In 2030 he plans to have the most powerful quantum computer that exists

by

China and the US are the countries that are dedicating more resources to the development of Quantum technologies. And also those who are reaching The most relevant achievements. However, there is a country that has officialized its intention to lead in the medium term both in the field of Quantum computing as in the manufacture of semiconductors: Japan. In the middle of last April we tell you that the Riken Center for Quantum Computing and Fujitsu had just announced that they had developed in a joint project A superconductor quantum computer endowed with 256 cubits. A priori may not seem like a great achievement if we are in mind that IBM already has a condora superconductor quantum processor of 1,121 cubits, and also The Heron platform (5k) endowed with error mitigation. And the China Telecom Quantum Group (CTQG) and the Center for Excellence in Quantum Information and Quantum Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed The Xiaohong quantum processor of 504 superconductor cubits. However, Japan’s plan in the field of quantum machines does not end up here. And it is that in 2030 it intends to have a quantum computer 25% more powerful that the most capable that IBM will have at that time. 250 logical cubits to make a difference The design and tuning project of this ambitious quantum machine is already underway. And the Riken Center for Quantum Computing, Fujitsu and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science in Japan. This quantum computer will use superconductor cubits and a very advanced cooling system, presumably a dilution system similar to the employee by The machine they presented in April. Whatever your best asset, if you finally get to fruition, it will be its 250 logical cubits. Each logical ul Logical cubits represent a way to overcome the difficulty involved in the use of hardware or physical cubits, which are extremely noise sensitive, and, therefore, prone to make mistakes. Each logical cubit is constructed in an abstract way About several physical or hardware cubitsso that a single logical cubit encodes a single cubit of quantum information, but with redundancy. It is precisely this redundancy that allows to detect and correct the errors that are present in the physical cubits. Until very recently the number of hardware cubits that was necessary to implement a single logical cubit immune to errors was impracticable, but IBM says that he has found the solution To this problem. And presumably Fujitsu and the Riken center too. IBM is going to build The quantum computer ‘Starling’ in a new data center that will be housed in Paughkeepsie, New York (USA). This machine will bring together 200 logical cubits that, in theory, will allow you to execute 100 million quantum operations. IBM says that ‘Starling’ will be ready in 2029but, as I mentioned a few lines above, Fujitsu and Riken intend to have their quantum machine of 250 logical cubits in 2030. If they get it, they are likely to lead in this field. In any case, before that milestone arrives, much earlier, in 2026, they pursue to be ready A 1,000 cubits computer. They will not be 1,000 logical cubits; They will be 1,000 conventional cubits, and, therefore, prone to make mistakes. Even so, if Japan get it, only one step from the US and China will be placed in this field.

The US and Spacex wanted to revolutionize the delivery of weapons anywhere in the world. A tropical bird had other plans

by

Starship is called to be the ship-cohete that Put humanity on Marsbut years ago he caught the attention of Pentagon For something much more earthly: transport military merchandise from one point to another on earth. But what they expected from Spacex And the Pentagon was an enemy who put those plans in check. Tropical birds. Revolutionizing military logistics. After a series of incidents, in 2024 we witnessed something unprecedented. He Starship propeller rocket was intercepted with millimeter accuracy by a mechanical arm. This, which seems little thing, is the starting gun for the revolution of space missions because it promises to reduce costs and shorten times because the rockets are no longer disposable between missions. Long before achievement, in 2021, the Pentagon already showed interest in these capabilities. The United States Air Force had an internal program called ‘Rocket Cargo‘With an ambitious objective, but easy to explain: transport huge amounts of military load from one point to another on the planet in a matter of minutes. Suspense. We are talking about the ability to deliver up to 150 tons of load anywhere on Earth in a maximum time of 90 minutes, which would imply an unprecedented and unprecedented deployment, as well as A tremendous strategic advantage. However, something like this requires evidence beyond those that Spacex itself is doing with its ship-cohete, and the idea of the Air Force was to start trying these rockets in a Pacific Atolón. It is not going to be. How can we read in Reuterson that remote island at 1,300 kilometers southwest of Hawaii, at least 14 species of tropical birds live. And, according to biologists, Spacex and Air Force tests would damage these species that nest in the area. Atoll location And relocation. This atoll, called Johnstonhas only 2.6 square kilometers and is part of the National Marine Monument of the remote Pacific Islands, so, as a source of the Air Force confirmed to the American military magazine ‘Stars and Stripes’, they will have to look for a new ‘patio’ of testing. According to the FFAA spokesman to the American magazine, they are already “exploring alternative places to develop the program”. Mistreating atolls. It is not the first time That the activities of the Musk company damages the flora and fauna of a place. It happened in Boca Chica, Texas, in 2023, when an explosion ended both with nests and coastal bird eggs, which caused legal problems to the company. Problems that Musk reacted with his particular and curious sense of humor, stating that he would stop eating tortillas for a week to compensate. And the truth is that this is a small victory for the tropical birds of the Johnson atolion, since the atolls of the quadrant and their fauna did not have so much luck in the pastwhen they were chosen as Objective for nuclear tests During the cold war, ending with entire islands of a plumazo and causing the Fear of nuclear radiation long before the Chernobyl accident.

Byd promised them very happy with his new plant in Mexico. He has just canceled all his plans

by

In February 2024, the rumor that Byd was interested in building a factory in Mexico began to gain strength. And, contrary to what usually happens in other cases, for last year there was already talk of possible locations and even the jobs that were going to be created in a specific installation. None of that will happen. Canceled. At least in the short term. Because according to Stella Li, BYD vice president, they are “waiting for greater security before making a decision”, in words collected by Bloomberg. And, according to LI, all brands “are rethinking their strategy” because geopolitical motifs that have “a great impact on the automobile industry.” The answer comes just when the company seeks its expansion in America. To do this, a factory is raising in Brazil (in which they were accused of hard treatment to their workers) but wanted to take Mexico as a basis for an expansion in North America. USA. The biggest problem for this expansion seems to be the Government of Donald Trump. The US government is using tariffs as a pressure measure against other countries, which directly impacts the automobile industry. In order for these tariffs not to impact vehicles, Byd would have to ensure that the components used do not pass through the neighboring country since would make the final product. Without the possibility of selling cars in the United States, playing with the price is key to competing with maximum guarantees in Mexico. And not just the United States. Although the cancellation, at least temporary, of the Mexican factory of byd seems to focus on the US administration, Financial Times He assured a few months ago that China also did not see with good eyes The implementation of the company to the south of the country since they believed that it could be a risk of industrial espionage. Everything indicates that, once confirmed that Byd could not sell their Chinese cars in the United States as a result of the New standard approved by the then executive of Joe Bidenfrom the Asian country they wanted to throw the brake. In June 2024 There was already talk that the country that Donald Trump now runs was Byd’s true goal on his arrival in Mexico. Advanced? What is not entirely clear is to what extent the company’s plans were advanced. A little later, Already in August last yearIt seemed that we had three candidates to host the arrival of the Byd factory. Then it was said that all locations were in the center of the country but Reuters It didn’t give more data. In January, the plant size began to speculate. It was said that the factory would use 10,000 people And that would bend the one that Tesla had planned to build in Nuevo León and that, finally, Nor has it finished getting ahead. Months later, Trump would hit the manufacturers hard that produce totally or partially in Mexico The cars sold in the United States. However, Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexican president, already pointed in March that “they have a proposed investment, but it was never something formal”, in relation to the possible locations that could be of the plant. Now, it does not seem to continue advancing in the short term.

Private jets and premium travelers contaminate a lot, so Spain already plans what to do with them: charge them much more

by

If you travel in Premium mode, it will have to pay (even more) premium prices. That is the idea that several countries shuffle, including Spain, which have discussed a unique possibility: to impose special rates both to private aircraft and jets and passengers traveling in the premium classes. New taxation for the air sector. As indicated In Reutersthe debate has occurred during the UN conference On development financing held these days in Seville. There has been where Spain and other countries have discussed the impact of the air sector on the environment and how to try to mitigate the problem. And the solution they have found is clear: special rates for them. A disparate group. Countries that are inclined to this option form a singular group. They are Spain, France, Kenya, Benín, Sierra Leone, Somaia, Barbados, and Antigua and Barbuda. All of them advocate the introduction of “a specific rate to executive class bills and private airplanes.” Pedro Sánchez, president of Spain, also added that “the specific rate for this type of flights” is intended to address pollution and climate change. Private jets and premium passengers, under examination. The proposal is based on the experience collected by the road map of the COP28 (Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) and the COP29. The objective for COP30 is “a better contribution from the aviation sector to fair transitions and resilience, with special attention to premium passengers.” Premium travelers coalition. The French executive has published A statement explained that today the aviation sector contributes to 2.5% of CO2 emissions, and remains one of the industries that grow the most in this type of emissions. In the G20 the average price of the kerosene in 2021 was 9 euros/ton, compared to the 79 euros of the diesel and 68 euros of gasoline. Private jets, horror. But the problem is aggravated for private jets and “premium travelers”: 1% of luxury aircraft passengers pollute more than 50% of commercial aviation. Emissions generated by private jets have increased significantly: 46% From 2019 to 2023. What does the European Commission say. According to that statement, the European Commission “will continue to provide technical support to this initiative.” France has been fighting this problem for some time, and that three years ago I cricked that “two -speed effort“. Its rulers criticized that while they were required to neighboring countries that were Press the energy belta wealthy minority I took private jets for routes that could be covered with less comfortable alternatives, but also less burdensome and pollutants. Taxes to fight climate change. The Global Solidarity Levies Task Force (GSLT) is an association led by France that also supports this initiative that is part of the so -called Pact for Prosperity, People and the Planet (4p). In the statement The GSLT includes statements by Emmanuel Macron and Pedro Sánchez. For this body this type of tax can raise “vital taxes for the weather.” Tax. From Greenpeace Remember That “flying is the most elite and polluting way to travel, so this is an important step to ensure that the great consumers of this little taxed sector pay the part that corresponds to them.” It would thus be taxed by those industries that most contaminate, and private flights are of course a problem in that area. Other countries could join. The coalition indicated that it should work to “improve the mobilization of internal income of developing countries.” Member countries will work so that other countries join this initiative so that “air bills are applied, including high -end, and to tax private planes based on best practices, at the same time guaranteeing ascending harmonization and greater progressivity in countries that already have such levies.” In Xataka | Your own private jet for 111 euros: the company that has devised the “blablacar” of luxury flights

The ambitious video apps plans to land on Smart TV

by

There is no one who can with the TV. Although the hours we spend in front of the mobile are increasingly abundant, the big screen that makes up the neuralgic entertainment center and household meetings continues to exercise great power over us. And about advertisers. Therefore, even mobile apps giants such as Instagram or Tiktok consider a turn to television and prepare apps in that format. Tik tok and Instagram, to TV. Account ‘The Information‘That Tiktok and Instagram are developing apps to be viewed on television. The objective is to steal some advertiser of the juicy cake that are now distributed the platforms of streaming (that generated more than 26,000 million dollars in income in 2024) and also increase the number of users, appealing to new profiles and older than the usual ones on the platforms (In Tiktok About 70% of users are under 34 years old, and On Instagram around 60%) The future has returned. When the use of mobiles was generalized, the media looked at these new devices, transportable screens (laptops, tablets, smartphones) and They said “here is the future”. We would watch TV and movies on mobiles. They were wrong: TVs are still reigning in houses thanks to the arrival of streaming: Linear TV consumption is in historical minimumsbut Thanks to streaming platforms A lot of television is still seen. But the screen continues to be transformed and perhaps the next bombing we see comes from the arrival of native mobile apps. YouTube to power. Recent news resonates in this decision of the two gigantic social social networks: YouTube’s sustained growth in recent years. According to Nielsenthe video platform has experienced a constant and significant general growth, more than 120 % since 2021. But in addition, in May 2025, it occupied the leading position between platforms of streamingwith 12.5 % of the total viewing on television. That is, advancing traditional television on their own land and even its rivals of streamingan app born on the Internet has conquered televisions. Tik Tok already tried. The Chinese video app has already tried to enter the Smart TVS with an application that did not have much route and It was launched in November 2021. According to Sony and collects ‘The Information’, Tiktok stopped updating the app in June and there are other televisions brands, such as Samsung or LG, where it is not even available. It is a possible clue about changes in the Tiktok TV approach. Instagram has never had an app for Smart TVS. Advertising is what is sought. To those mentioned 26,000 million dollars that gives the streaming In advertising the 72% of the 50,000 million youtube revenues In 2024: the video format and its jump to television allows multiple formats (pre -rol, Bumper, Mid-RollShorts), very versatile and attractive for video social media apps, more limited in that regard. Television allows hybrid advertising practices (with the use of artificial intelligence That will begin to put into practice Netflix, for example), which generate more impact on television. All that also want to access Tiktok and Instagram.

We complained about the plans with Netflix ads. But it is YouTube who is becoming hell of advertising

by

So far those who wanted to avoid the ads in the YouTube videos They had two options. The first, pay a subscription to YouTube Premium, which costs 13.99 euros per month in Spain. The second, use Tools such as Adblockers They try to avoid the appearance of those ads. And Google has proposed to eradicate that second option. Black screens and interruptions. Are several Users of Reddit and of Brave user forum Those who have commented The problems When using this browser – which includes an adblocker – or tools of this style when visiting YouTube. According to your comments, the platform causes that in the first load the videos appear with a totally black screen during the duration of the pre -rol ads (those that appear before the video in question). In addition, YouTube shows a warning message (“Are you experiencing interruptions?”) With a link to the YouTube support site. Just in case, deactivate the adblockers. On that Google support page indicates that users who are affected by problems can “check if browser extensions block advertisements are affecting video playback.” Or navigate in an incognito mode. They also suggest “open youtube in a Incognito window With all the extensions deactivated and check if the problem persists. “In my tests with Brave I have not seen such messages, and neither in Firefox with the extension Ublock Origin. Nor when performing some tests with VPN and with IP from the United States, but this type of problem may depend on other factors. The cat and mouse. YouTube has been trying to fight the use of adblockers for some time, but the developers of these tools usually act quickly and counteract Google’s measures. There are those who indicate that these problems may be limited to user accounts that have been detected in the past using adblockers. In my evidence I had not logged in, which validates that theory. We complained about Netflix. Comparisons with streaming platforms are inevitable, although the differences are clear. Netflix has achieved A resounding success With their plan with advertisements, and in prime video not only things are not going well but for months ago they were going to Increase the presence of advertising. And now they have confirmed that They are going to bend it. The future will have more ads. YouTube offers content for free but with ads, and the business model is similar to other Google services. The difference here is that it is the users who generate these contents, and YouTube is simply the platform that connects the creators with the spectators. Advertising benefits both parties because these ads serve to remunerate creatorsbut the advertising presence on YouTube is increasingly intense and converts experience into something increasingly annoying. The alternative, of course, is to pay Those 13.99 euros per month to access YouTube Premium. Youtube premium lite on the horizon. Google’s strategy has been even clearer with its latest movement: the creation of Youtube Premium Litewhich has already debuted in countries such as Mexico, Argentina or the US. The fundamental advantage is that most videos will not have ads, but we do not have other options such as video downloading to watch them without connection or the back in the background. This new type of subscription thus raises an intermediate bet, but also points to something worrying: more ads in the future.

France is the most radical country against technology among children. And now it plans something extreme: prohibit social networks

by

“We must ban social networks to children under 15 years.” This blunt was the French president, Emmanuel Macron, speaking before the TV cameras. The measure It would be a pioneer In Europe, which studies initiatives in this regard, but there is a problem: France’s regulatory role is having negative consequences For companies and users. What happened. The statements of the Gallic president occurred after the Tuesday tragedy In a French school: a 14 -year -old boy stabbed and killed a member of the teaching staff. As they point out In EuronewsIt is not clear if this attack is associated with something that the teenager had seen on social networks. No knives. Macron intends to prohibit social networks to children under 15 “in the coming months” if there is no progress in a similar regulation at the European level. The tragedy in Nogent’s greate Indian that “a 15 -year -old can no longer buy a knife on the Internet. That means we are going to impose massive financial prohibitions and sanctions.” And either of social networks. But the highlight was that intention to ban social networks, something that even announced in X said intentionIn addition to stating that platforms have the possibility of verifying age to be able to implement this type of control and prohibition. Actually the message is not new: said exactly the same thing more than a year agobut the recent events and European inaction have re -promoted those intentions of Macron. They are already doing it with porn. On June 7, the law that forces pornographic platforms to verify age of users. The objective, prevent minors can access this type of content. But it is not going well. As a consequence of these measures, services such as Pornhub, Redtube and YouPorn have decided to leave the Gallic country and stop serving there. According to those responsible, this regulation is inefficient and potentially violates users’ privacy. Also propose a solution Device dependent and in which Google and Apple would have to make some modifications to their operating systems. The struggle of minors and screens. France was a pioneer in 2018 when prohibited mobile phones in schools for students under 15 years. Other countries They followed the wake, but the country continues to alert the dangers of the screens for the minors. In fact, a process was recently initiated to try prohibit the use of any screen (Mobile, but also TVS or computers) to children under six years. According to French experts In pediatrics or child psychiatry, not doing so exposes them to permanent damage to brain development. Spain, in the line of France. In our country the future law of the minor advocates Prohibit registration on social networks of children under 16 yearsclimbing the current limit two years. There are also measures to limit access to technology according to age, and for example from zero to three years the use of children should be prohibited from children, while from three to six years it is advisable except exceptions and under the supervision of an adult. The Spanish “pajorto”. The Government of Spain also launched a year ago The implementation of the Beta Digital Portfolio, popularly known as “Pajorte”. It is a mobile app that will theoretically serve to perform age verification and thus avoid or mitigate access to pornographic content by minors. Its implementation is limited, although the platforms that are already implementing it have detected A colossal fall of its traffic. Europe begins to move card. As they point out In politicianthe European Union has raised a proposal led by Greece and France and Spain as great support. In it the objective is to establish a new regulation to significantly limit the use of social networks by minors. According to the project, minors could lose direct access to networks Like Tiktok or Instagram and would need parental permission to visit these platforms. Denmark, which will occupy the presidency of the EU in the next six months, is in favor of these measures Image | Anthony Choren | Mary Borozdina In Xataka | There were two paths to regulate technology in children: the government has chosen the one with zero screens

Pension plans for six -year -old children

by

Let’s say that for a while this part, talk about Retirement It produces some stress in the world population. Spain has offered a solution, although of “high risk”. In Europe they have thought that the best It is delaying itand in Denmark they have seemed little and they have postponed it until 70. In South Korea even the term “old”and in Japan retirement simply It is disappearing For work sine die. The latter comes from Germany and opens an unknown melon. Primary retirement plan. It CNBC had. While millions of retirees In the United States and United Kingdom They are forced to “discourage” for not having saved enough, Germany proposes a radically opposite measure: open retirement accounts for children From the age of six. The plan, promoted by the German coalition government, contemplates contributing 10 euros per month for 12 years to all school minors, thus accumulating at least 1,440 euros per personBut the benefits that can be generated by the investment of these funds. And more. Then, from the age of 18, young people will be able to make personal contributions and enjoy tax yields until retirement, currently set at 67. Dystopia or not, it is a policy designed not only to relieve the load of the public system, but such and as they tellalso to promote the culture of savings from childhood and prevent future generations to repeat the pattern of financial insecurity that today forces many retirees to return to the labor market. In reverse boomers. Meanwhile, reality contrasts with force on the other side of the Atlantic. Fortune explained that the number of people over 65 who still work in the United States It has quadrupled Since the 80s, reaching almost 20% of that strip (about 11 million people), according to the Pew Research Center. In the United Kingdom, a similar proportion of Baby Boomers and members of generation X are already “disrupting” or planning to do so. In many cases, their desires for active retirement, full of trips and personal projects, collide with insufficient piggy bank, affected by inflation, uncertainty in unrealistic markets and expectations during working years. When time is everything. The German proposal makes even more sense when analyzing the light of the impact of compound interest, the financial mechanism that multiplies the capital accumulated over time. Financial Expert Suze Orman told Financial Expert that it has been shown that, just by investing $ 100 per month from the age of 25 and obtaining a 12% annual profitability, a young man could reach More than one million dollars When you retire. Starting five years later would reduce that total by little more than 600,000. From that prism, imagine then what would be possible if the process begins not at 25, but at six years, it is very sweet tooth. A sustained accumulation for six decades could allow future German retirees to enjoy unthinkable financial security for many today. Intergenerational experiment. Although some experts warn that the initial contribution is symbolic and that the passivity of the process could limit its value Educational, the German plan points to a relevant cultural and psychological dimension. Get into childhood The notion of savingsprofitability and long -term planning can modify family habits, especially in contexts where conversation about money rarely takes place. And, if accompanied by a solid financial education and a responsible and transparent management of investments, they explain that the foundations for a more autonomous generationA, resilient and financially conscious. Of premature retirement to savings in nurseries. No doubt, the image of a six -year -old boy with an open retirement account may seem more typical of a dystopia, but behind it hides a sadly unavoidable truth: financial sustainability in old age seems to start long before the first salaries. Germany, with its proposal of pension Earlynot only seeks to relieve the public system and redistribute the generational effort, but to prevent forced return to work that millions of retirees live in the West today. In front of the reality of generations They must give up golden for lack of foresight or because simply They have had no choicea preventive German model is erected that bets on financial pedagogy and long -term investment as pillars of worthy retirement. In South Korea they had already advanced it … although there they changed the purchase of toys By actions of Tesla. Image | Pexels, Stockcake In Xataka | Europe is delaying retirement age until 67.

Intel plans to get fully into the market in which South Korean SK Hynix has become rich: memories for AI

by

The South Korean company SK Hynix leads the HBM memories market (High Bandwidth Memory) With a shocking authority. Your market share Broken 70%so that the remaining 30% are distributed by Samsung and the American memory manufacturer Micron Technology. These memoirs work side by side with the GPUs for artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, one of SK Hynix’s main clients, possibly the oldest, is Nvidia. According to the consultant Datam Intelligence The global market centers market for AI will grow annually 24.5%, so it will go from having a volume of 13,670 million dollars in 2024 to no less than 78,910 million in 2032. For designers and integrated circuit manufacturers compete in a market with this growth potential is crucial, hence several Chinese companies are planning to get into it. And for Intel represents a too juicy opportunity to let it escape. Intel and Softbank work together in a new type of memories for ia The manufacture of HBM memories is very complex. This is the reason why this market at the moment is distributed only to the three companies that I have mentioned in the first paragraph of this article. However, its great growth potential will surely cause other companies over the next few years. Intel is going to be one of them, although the interesting thing is that he will not compete alone or fight for the HBM chip market. Intel and Softbank have proposed to complete the development of a prototype and evaluate its viability from a technical point of view by 2027 This American company has founded a company specialized in the design and manufacture of memory chips from the Japanese investment group. His name Saimemory And he was born expressly to compete from you to you with SK Hynix, Samsung and Micron Technology. Your plan consists in developing a new type of High performance packed dram memory From some patents prepared by Intel and several Japanese research centers, among which is the University of Tokyo. Intel and Softbank have proposed to complete the development of a prototype and evaluate its viability from a technical point of view by 2027. In fact, they intend to manufacture on a large scale and market this dram memory stacked for ia before it ends this decade. The performance of HBM memories is very high, but, as I mentioned a few lines above, they are difficult to manufacture. In addition, they are expensive, they dissipate a lot of energy in the form of heat and consume a lot of electricity. Stacked dram memories, however, on paper will be easier to produce, more efficient, and also cheaper. If when they are really satisfied the expectations that have generated it is possible that They end up displacing HBM chips. In fact, Intel and Softbank are not at all the only companies that trust the potential of stacked dram memories; Samsung and Neo Semiconductor are also developing this type of chips, so before the Memoirs market expires this decade will be much more competitive than today.

Buying a Bad Bunny ticket is easier than reserving a Madrid-Vigo. So Galicia already plans to denounce Renfe

by

You enter the application and everything is busy. There is no option to opt for another time slot. Touch wait, put the alarm and try tomorrow again. We do not talk about the nth battle to reserve a class in a gym too saturated, we talk about what Galician users who intend to reserve a Renfe train and check with stupor how You can’t do it two months in view. Or, in the worst case, how they can never do it. The entrance of the dynamic prices He has caused many travelers to be in the position of not knowing what will happen with a trip. With numerous discomforts when booking tickets. With the confirmation that each trip is a battle to free from the phone. Especially when we talk about complicated dates such as summer or Christmas holidays. And that’s why Galicia’s Xunta threatens to denounce Renfe. Some tickets impossible to buy This happens because there is “a monopoly position.” This is how Diego Calvo has defined, Ministry of Presidency, Xustiza and Deportes de Galicia the situation in which they are living with Renfe. A situation that is born, in his words, for an “abuse of domain” that “prevents Galicians from planning trips.” This situation derives from the fight involved in seats since the dynamic prices that is, those who fluctuate depending on the availability and demand. Faced with the fear that prices are triggered, users try to reserve the train squares as soon as possible and these are exhausted in a very short time Two months seen. The company itself warns of this On its website But the problem is especially serious when dates indicated as festivities, holidays or Christmas. First because high demand triggers prices and because, second, days or hours apart you can make you buy the same ticket at a much higher price. That, if you can buy it. As the temporal limit is blocked two months after Buy tickets for a Bad Bunny concert. What they denounce from the Xunta is that its citizens are being harmed because while other parts of Spain can be chosen between Iryo, Ouigo or Renfe, the latter only circulates. This is not only a problem for prices, it is also a problem for which it looks like an insufficient number of places offered. Therefore, they have commissioned the Galician commission to compete with a report in which it is analyzed if Renfe is using an “abusive behavior” by preventing long -term tickets and emphasizing, in words collected by ABCthat from Renfe they have not “justified the reasons for these conditions.” The argument of the Xunta is that Renfe is contravening the Law of Defense of the 2007 Competition by preventing long -term bills from reserving because “it lacks an objective economic justification.” In The voice of Galicia The problem has echoed a long time, pointing out that users feel irritated and mistreated.
