RE: Is it free to internet?

in OCD5 years ago

Yo tengo poco tiempo activa en HIVE, inicie el año pasado en STEEMIT, pero me toco dejarla, en Venezuela tenemos conexión de CANTV que es una empresa del estado, se cancela 0,25$ al mes, es súper lento, pero con ello logro navegar. Lamentablemente el servicio es intermitente, en aquel momento me quede sin servicio de CANTV por algunos meses y fue imposible pagar una empresa privada que en promedio mensual serían unos 10$, mucho dinero tomando en cuenta que el sueldo promedio de un profesional en el país son 15$ mensuales (sueldo mínimo 2$). Conozco muchas personas interesadas en esta red social, pero además el CANTV es un privilegio para algunas zonas, mi familia por ejemplo vive en una zona rural y no tienen acceso al internet con esta empresa. Entonces se plantean este dilema “invierto 10$ en una empresa privada para publicar en HIVE sin saber si mis publicaciones serán bien valoradas o los gasto en alimentos”. Realidades.

I have little time active in HIVE, I started last year in STEEMIT, but I have to leave it, in Venezuela we have a connection from CANTV which is a state company, it is cancelled 0.25$ a month, it is super slow, but with it I manage to navigate. Unfortunately the service is intermittent, at that time I was without CANTV service for some months and it was impossible to pay a private company that in monthly average would be about 10$, a lot of money taking into account that the average salary of a professional in the country is 15$ per month (minimum salary 2$). I know many people interested in this social network, but also CANTV is a privilege for some areas, my family for example lives in a rural area and they don't have access to the internet with this company. So they have this dilemma: "I invest $10 in a private company to publish on HIVE without knowing if my publications will be well valued or if I will spend it on food". Realities.

Yes, I understand that it is quite an issue in many places and unfortunately, there is very little that can be done without changing the system. The problem is that the more who pay for the service at the higher prices, the higher prices will go.

I was wondering, is there a way to share connections?

Si te refieres al wifi, sí. En mi calle soy de las pocas que tiene servicio de CANTV, yo les di la clave a mis vecinos, pues pago muy poco por el servicio, y no pierdo nada al ellos conectarse porque es ilimitado. Claro, cuando se me va el servicio de CANTV debo pagar a una empresa privada y allí si no lo comparto por lo costoso y no es ilimitado.

If you mean the wifi, yes. In my street I'm one of the few that has CANTV service, I gave the key to my neighbors, because I pay very little for the service, and I don't lose anything when they connect because it's unlimited. Of course, when I lose the CANTV service I have to pay a private company and there if I don't share it because it is expensive and it is not unlimited.
