Spain advances seven places in the average internet speed

According to the Report on the Internet Status of the Second Quarter of 2016 of Akamai, half of the Spanish Spaniards are already sailing at a speed above 10 Mbps , a milestone that had never been achieved.Our country occupies the position 23 in the world , although has advanced seven positions over the previous quarter. The explanation for this spectacular growth in the internet speed in Spain? The deployment of fiber and the progressive migration of customers from the ADSL .If everything continues as planned, in the year 2020 there will be fiber in all cities with more than 1,000 inhabitants offering minimum speeds of 50 Mbps.

As explained in Adslzone.net, the average navigation in Spain was 14.1 Mbps, which represents an interannual increase of 46%.Meanwhile, the average peak connection speed was 70.7 Mbps , here the annual increase was 48%.In our country, 32 percent of the connections were made at a speed greater than 15 Mbps , an increase of 122% per year.Precisely, 50 percent of them were performed at a speed greater than 10 Mbps , an increase of 62% per year.

The important fiber optic deployment of our country, which puts us at the top of Europe in this matter, is becoming key to raise the level of connections and speeds .The last example of this bet fiber operators have starred in Orange, which has advanced in a year, from 2020 to 2019, its goal of reaching 14 million homes connected by fiber in the country. Today, Orange already has more fiber customers in Spain and more past homes with this technology than in France.

Massive fiber deployment

In a recent sector event, its CEO, Laurent Paillassot, pointed out that, in 2016 alone, the company will have deployed its fiber network in three million homes, reaching around ten million at the end of the year, which is equivalent to deploy each month the same number of homes that Cantabria has. To this end, it has defended the need to carry out a deployment "efficiently", collaborating with other operators, as reflected by the joint deployment carried out with Vodafone and Masmovil .

You can take a look at this graph to check with the spectacular progression of the internet speed in Spain , especially in the last year.

Internet of plants: a tomato knows as much about networks as you

The possibility of plant species communicating through complex networks, what some scientists have called the internet of plants , is an issue that has been discussed for a long time, at least 20 years.It was in 1997 when the scientist Suzanne Simard , from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Canada), published a study in the journal Nature on how Forest plants use complex systems where species exchange nutrients, send warning signals and relate to the environment. Although there is no scientific consensus, several investigations seem to support this hypothesis.If confirmed, as we read in a fascinating report by the Sinc Agency, the forests would act as huge structures that are articulated under the soil through a network in which factors invisible to the human eye interact and can determine the future of the climate.Understanding how it works is the challenge that even science faces. internet of plants and the wisdom of forests The premise of Suzanne Simard ...

New setbacks for conspiranoicos: radiofrequencies do not affect health

New evidence published by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Radio Frequency and Health (CCARS) in its 2016 Radio Frequency and Health Report indicates that there are no adverse health effects derived of exposure to radio frequencies emitted by mobile phone antennas or radio and television broadcasting.No evidence has been found on the danger in wireless systems (Wi-Fi) or airport scanners. The new 2016 Radio Frequency and Health Report collects, updates and analyzes the scientific evidence on the subject for the period between January 2013 and June 2016. radio frequencies are not dangerous According to the conclusions of the report " the critical analysis of the evidence supports that there are no technical or sanitary reasons that justify the arbitrary and discretionary imposition of more demanding exposure limits than those recommended by WHO-ICNIRP and the Union European ", while the application of more restrictive limits" would imply increasing the n...

Twitter shows the best of ourselves (it wasn't always going to be the worst)

In the era of social networks, accustomed to interact daily with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google or WhatsApp, we forget that these tools are phenomenal in the History of Humanity capable of mobilize hundreds of thousands of people in very different geographical locations in a matter of hours or even minutes. Already in the past, Twitter has asserted its more social dimension to mobilize people, companies or organizations and also, from a broader perspective, feelings of solidarity and support or also of rejection and repulses towards causes with an important mediatic impact.Recently, Twitter was once again the engine of solidarity after Dortmund's explosions as the Borussia Dortmund team bus passed on its way to the local stadium on the occasion of the Champions League match between the Borussia and the Monaco. These explosions did not have the devastating effect that they could have caused , so that everything remained in a major social commotion at international lev...

Most apps for children violate your privacy

Do you know if apps with which children enjoy their safety? A team of researchers from the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) of the University of Berkeley has studied compliance with the Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in these mobile applications for the little ones, through a scalable dynamic analysis that allows the automatic evaluation of privacy behaviors of Android apps. After studying 5,855 applications aimed at children, the research concludes that most of these apps, 57%, violate the privacy of their users mainly due to the use of data by third parties. apps for children and privacy Although many apps offer options in their configuration to respect the federal law that protects minors in the United States, by disabling tracking, their results suggest that a majority of applications either do not use these options or propagate them in wrong way. In addition, researchers believe that 19% of apps for children send user IDs to third parties to show ...

Are social networks damaging democracy?

The revelations according to which Russian agents inserted ads on Facebook that tried to influence the 2016 US elections raise a disturbing question: is Facebook bad for democracy? As an expert in the social and political repercussions of technology, I think that the problem is not exclusively from Facebook, but that it is much broader: Social networks are weakening some of the conditions that have historically enabled the existence of national states democratic. I understand that it is a dramatic statement, and I do not expect anyone to believe it immediately, but considering that almost half of all potential voters received false news promoted by the Russians in Facebook is an argument that must be debated. Associate Professor of Philosophy, Director of Center for Professional and Applied Ethics, University of North Carolina-Charlotte How we create a shared reality Let's start with two concepts: the "imagined community" and the "bubble filter". ...
