00:00In many countries, the Internet is not stable and can be very slow,
00:04and even car and without any guarantees of service.
00:08You know what I'm talking about, right?
00:09Well, the debate is already happening in countries like the United States,
00:13where the government plans to work with the internet providers
00:16to offer contracts more economic and with greater speed.
00:21What will they replicate in other countries?
00:25The United States government announced an initiative
00:27in conjunction with 20 of the main providers of internet
00:30to offer a faster and cheaper service.
00:33Some of the companies would be able to offer a speed of 100 megabits per second
00:38for $30 a month for people who really need it.
00:43The initiative, which could become a law,
00:45would be nearly 48 million homes,
00:48almost 40% of the homes in the United States.
00:51In Canada, it's also discussed the idea.
00:53It's about to reduce the enormous inequality in access to internet,
00:57which is more, of course, in countries with high levels of socioeconomic inequality.
01:04That the government understands internet as an essential service
01:06and helps democratize its access and improve the service
01:09could be an example for other countries, right?
01:12Because the internet's velocities lentas,
01:14ligadas to costosos contratos,
01:16are a problem in all the world.
01:18Now, the conditions in all the world are very diverse.
01:23Let's look at the average speed of bandwidth.
01:26The average speed of bandwidth in all the world is 63 megabits per second,
01:30with a speed of 27 megabits per second.
01:33With that speed, we would take about 12 seconds to charge a long movie,
01:38like the Wall Street Lobo, for example,
01:40from Netflix to a smartphone,
01:42using the Wi-Fi network of our home.
01:44Now, the internet of the wide range
01:47of the most fast speed of the world is in Singapore,
01:50with a wide range of 198 megabits per second.
01:54In the other extreme,
01:55the most slow speed of internet internet is in Afghanistan,
01:59with less than 2 megabits per second in average.
02:01Allá, you have to wait 6 minutes and a half
02:04to download the same movie.
02:06The speed of internet in the world is very low.
02:10According to the web cable portal,
02:12America del Norte and Europe Occidental
02:13have the internet faster.
02:15Some parts of Asia are located in the middle,
02:18while the rest of Asia,
02:20the most part of South America and Africa
02:22have to deal with the internet faster than the world.
02:28In terms of costs,
02:30the differences are also huge.
02:31Look, in Mexico,
02:33they pay US$34 USD
02:35for a speed of 100 megabits per second,
02:39which, if we compare them
02:40with what a average citizen gives,
02:42is a 5% of their monthly income income.
02:45But in India,
02:46it's even more expensive,
02:47US$11 USD,
02:48for the same speed
02:49that at the beginning,
02:51but that represents
02:52the 7% of the monthly income income in the country.
02:56And now,
02:56agarrense,
02:57because the situation in Pakistan is even worse.
02:59Allá,
03:00you have to pay US$58 USD
03:02for the same 100 megabits,
03:04a 54% of the monthly income income income.
03:08The half of the income income
03:09goes to the internet.
03:11That's the smartphone.
03:13Incredible.
03:16What do you do, then?
03:18Well,
03:19the governments could also impose
03:20maximum costs of internet
03:21and minimum speeds.
03:22This in case
03:23that companies
03:24don't cooperate
03:25to offer a internet
03:26cheap and cheap internet.
03:28Like it happens very often,
03:30too.
03:30They could also force
03:31a greater transparency
03:32in the services,
03:34like that the megabits
03:35that they sell us
03:36are really the ones
03:37that they give us.
03:38And a greater flexibility
03:39in the permanence
03:41for example.
03:41What do you do?
03:43What do you do?
03:44Seguramente,
03:44ya han oído hablar
03:45de la renta básica
03:47en algunos países.
03:48Bueno,
03:48pues para muchos expertos,
03:50esto debería aplicarse
03:51también a internet,
03:52con el llamado
03:53acceso básico a internet.
03:55Porque entre otras,
03:56ya desde 2016,
03:57el acceso a esta tecnología
03:59es un derecho humano
04:00según las Naciones Unidas.
04:02¿Cómo lograr que más gente
04:03en el mundo tenga internet?
04:04Esperamos sus comentarios.
04:08Y bueno,
04:09hay que sentirse agradecido
04:11de tener internet
04:12en cualquier caso,
04:13¿no?
04:13Porque el 37%
04:14de las personas
04:15en el mundo
04:16no tienen ningún tipo
04:18de acceso a internet.
04:20Cero.
