There is a ‘cover’ in the business that will generate the increase in defense spending: Telefónica

by

Telefónica is not just the dean and leader in clients of Spanish telecos: it is also the one who dominates the technological tenders of the Ministry of Defense. It is no accident. AND will go to more. Why is it important. Spain has adhered to the plan to reach 5% of GDP in military spending, although maintains your plan not to invest more than 2%. In any case, there is a horizon to increase that item that will result in more than a dozen billions of euros additional to current investment. And everything indicates that Telefónica will be one of the great beneficiaries of this expansion. In figures. It is not a monopoly because there is plurality of winners, but the concentration is very high. The context. The State is the main shareholder of Telefónica with the 10% that invested –2.3 billion– in May 2024. Marc Murtrathe president who arrived six months ago, came from Indra, another participated by the State, after the SEPI forced the change in management. In detail. In the last two years, Telefónica has multiplied its presence in defense. Among the main recent contracts include: Yes, but. This concentration in state companies has a geopolitical logic. The government wants to shield military communications against foreign technological dependencies. Especially after The recent rupture with Israeli suppliers such as Elbit Systems that advocates the government. The beneficiary, according to an exclusive The confidentialit will be most likely Indra. In any case, national security justifies state control. The threat. For private competition, the panorama is complicated. With the increase in defense spending and preference for companies participated by the State, opportunities for other operators are reduced. It is a market that is nationalized by the back door. The Declaration of Murtra in Congress three weeks ago He speaks for himself: “Telefónica wants to invest in defense, but always subordinated to the defense policy that marks the ministry,” he said. Translation: We are an executing arm of the state, not an independent competitor. Deepen. The new budget of 34,000 million for 31 Special Modernization Programs It will be the great test. Telecommunications, cybersecurity, command and control systems: Everything goes through the digital infrastructure already controls. It is your time to capitalize years of investment.

There is a way for a truck to go from Italy to Madrid without spending a diesel euro. Mounting it on a train

by

From Italy to Madrid in truck but without stepping on the road. It is the concept of the railway highway that unites the transalpine country with the Spanish capital and that allows moving low -cost merchandise with a reduced impact on polluting emissions. A project that has already been tested in Spain but now seeks its extension even Portugal. From Italy to Madrid. That is the route that the trucks moved by Tramesaa company that keeps an exceptional service in our country alive. Specifically, to put in Madrid some trucks with origin in Italy that on the road have hundreds of kilometers but have not spent a drop of diesel. And it is that these trucks, as explained in The countryThey arrive at the Valencian port where they are collected by a huge crane that deposits them on a railway platform. The truck becomes a merchandise container that travels to Madrid railway. Already in the capital, return to the road to distribute the merchandise. What is a railway highway? This system is what is known as a railway highway. That is, the use of railways to transport trucks that, in normal circumstances, should travel on the road. A system that, currently, is only active between Madrid and Valencia but wants to project to reach Portugal. And makes sense? Yes, and a lot. First because it is a less polluting system. Adif calculates That using trucks as rail containers is almost five times less polluting than circulating along the road, which entails tire wear, brakes … and huge diesel consumption. But, above all, it is interesting for the transport company. And the train trip can be done with or without a cabin. Without it, driver expenses is minimized since trucks travel alone on the train. In this way, the driver handles a tractor head at the origin, deposits the trailer there and a second conductor, already at destination, collects the merchandise with a second tractor head. In this way, the number of hours at the wheel and the distance traveled is drastically reduced. The Spanish case. As we said, at the moment, the railway highway that connects the Valencian port with Madrid is the only one that is active. However, the system is not much less new. In the past we have already had similar attempts and, in fact, we must not retrieve far back in time. In 2019, Renfe merchandise and VIIA, SNCF subsidiary, launched a service with up to six trains by direction and week between Barcelona and Bettembourg (Luxembourg). The project was canceled shortly after with the crisis of Coronavirus and reactivated in 2022. However, ended up closing operations A few months later. In Trenvista They point out that this case is the last but not the only one we have had in our country. At the end of the 80s a railway highway between Madrid and Barcelona was also opened. However, an accident resulted in the closure of past two years. In Europe. Outside our country, the transport of goods using railways is not new either. VIIA, the company that wanted to exploit the connection between Barcelona and Luxembourg, Keep active Four lines that explode exclusively and four other lines in collaboration with other operators. Their business extends almost exclusively by France (they have one that ends in Italy) and most of them collect merchandise that arrives through the Eurotunnel, demonstrating the advantage of the system when combining large ports and cities with good rail connections. In fact, it was in France where a railway highway began for the first time in 1936. After World War II, services would continue to be expanded with the services with the Alpine railway highway which is the one that crosses between France and Italy (already near Turin). And in the future? At the moment it remains to be seen but from the institutions you are trying to close more projects. There are currently a total of 15 in progress that are in different phases. In service with metric width we have Valencia-Madrid and underway you are already working on: Algeciras-Zaragoza Zaragoza-Tarragona Huelva-Madrid-Zaragoza Seville-Madrid-Zaragoza Valencia-Badajoz-Contrancamento (Portugal) Madrid-Badajoz-Contrancamento-Suporto (Portugal) In study phase are: Tarragona-Barcelona Madrid-Valladolid-Burgos-Vitoria Murcia-Madrid Cádiz-Madrid Tamarite of Litera-Irún Zaragoza-Pamplona-Vitoria In addition, a standard width is already underway between Barcelona and Le Perthus (France) and the following lines are projected: Murcia-Le Perthus (France) Tarragona-Le Perthus (France) Vitoria-Irún Photo | Ministry of Transportation and Tramesa In Xataka | Two years after Renfe competition entered, the data indicate something: trains are cheaper than ever

So you can pre-buy the new Galaxy S25 spending much less

by

They have been long in coming, but the new Galaxy S25 are already a reality. The Unpacked on January 22nd helped us get to know them officially, although we will still have to wait until February 7th to get our hands on them. Of course, if we pre-purchase them in the official samsung store we have the opportunity to take them much cheaper and with a guaranteed gift. We tell you all the promotions and advantages that the company offers through its store. This is how Samsung makes money: the secret is in the IPHONE Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+: more power and key improvements As usual, Samsung has launched three models (with permission from the S25 Edgefor which we will still have to wait) so that Each user can choose the one that best suits them.both for features and price. The base and S25+ models are the ones that most resemble each other, although there are enough differences for the balance to lean towards one or the other. The Galaxy S25 has a screen 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X with FHD+ resolutionas well as with an adaptive refresh rate of 120 Hz. The Plus model takes a step further, both in diagonal and resolution: it offers a 6.7-inch diagonal and QHD+ resolution. In terms of design, both use aluminum frame and are protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2so we can expect them to be very resistant. Its heart, the processor that powers them, is the most powerful currently available: the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Both have 12 GB of RAMan important change in the base model, which is the first to carry this memory (until now, it was 8 GB). We can also find differences in the battery of both devices. The base model comes with a 4,000 mAh cell, also having fast charging up to 25 W. The S25+ also takes a leap in this area, since its battery is 4,900 mAh and its fast charging goes up to 45 W. The system photography, on the other hand, is identical for both devices: a triple camera system with a 50+10+12 megapixel configuration. The front camera is 12 megapixels. These two devices are available in seven different colors: navy blue, blue, mint, rose gold, bluish black, coral red and gray, some of them being exclusive to the official Samsung store. The advantages begin by choosing the color of our device, since the exclusive colors come in the official Samsung store with a gift case. Now that we know a little about the new devices, it’s time to see what the Samsung store offers. What stands out the most is undoubtedly its ‘Delivery and Release’ program, thanks to which we can hand in our old mobile phone and receive a discount of up to 880 euros. This program is in addition to a new promotion called ‘Double your storage’, which will allow us to get an S25 with more capacity by paying the price of the immediately lower model (for example, the 512 GB S25+ at the price of the 256 GB model). The cheapest of the family is once again the base S25, which can be pre-purchased for 909 euros in its 128 GB version, but thanks to the ‘Double your storage’ promotion it remains at the same price as the 256 GB version. . Furthermore, if we choose to pay with Bizum, we will receive an additional discount of 50 eurosleaving its price at 859 euros. This price is already fantastic, but we can make it even cheaper. By accessing the expert chat available on the Samsung website, we can get another discount of 100 euros, a free 25 W charger and be careful, some Galaxy Buds3 Pro totally free. Finally, we can also make the purchase through the official app, which will allow us to enjoy a extra 10% discount. In short, everything together leaves the price of the base 256 GB S25 for only 683.10 euros. And be careful, because we can lower the price even more if we use the ‘Delivery and Release’ program. *Some prices may have changed since the last review Good news if we are interested in the Plus model, since it can be purchased with exactly the same advantages. With ‘Double your storage’ we can go directly to the 512 GB model and pay the price of the 256 GB modelwhich is 1,159 euros. Now, there we can begin to subtract the 50 euro discount for paying with Bizum and the 100 euro code for the web expert chat, so its price would fall to the 1,009 euros. Of course, I would also include the free Galaxy Buds3 Pro. We can also make the purchase through the app to achieve an extra 10 discount, therefore leaving the 512 GB Galaxy S25+ for only 908.10 euros (which we can reduce even more with Delivery and Release). Beyond the price, we can also finance the device up to 36 months at 0% APRas well as get Samsung Care Plus with a 30% discount. *Some prices may have changed since the last review The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the best Ultra in history Of course, we cannot forget the S25 Ultraa device that will surely fight to be one of the best devices of the year. It comes with some very interesting changes to its hardware, although it should also be noted that its design has been redefinedbeing noticeably lighter than the S24 Ultra and with softer edges to make it easier to handle. The screen is once again quite a spectacle. Its diagonal has grown to 6.9 inches and this time it debuts protection with Gorilla Armor 2. This will not only make it more resistant to bumps and scratches, but also offers the best anti-glare system there is.
