Advantages of the Common Network

Sustainable network. Sharing the same infrastructure implies a reduction of environmental costs as there is no resource wastage.


Collective management.The network is not a private asset but belongs to all those who participate in some way and is open to anyone who wants to participate. It is managed by all the participants.



Offering an alternative service.The user should be able to choose between different professional services and, therefore, between different offersfrom operators. Encouraging competitive prices and enabling citizens to benefit from tax deductions and reduce service costs.

Technological sovereignty.Citizens, as users of telecommunications, must have access to all the informationabouttheir rights and how they can influence the sector.


We eliminate the digital divide.Our intention is to bring Internet everywhere because we do not want first-class and second-class citizens. Everyone should have the same opportunities.
