O que se paga por um serviço básico é possível subscrever na #DIGI 1 GB net, 2 telemóveis ILIMITADOS e televisão e ainda sobram uns trocos. Dá para ver a dimensão do custo excessivo que cartel tem imposto à economia nacional. No corporate vão todos mudar.

@andresrguez Nos moldes atuais, a ciência em Portugal é uma perda de tempo e um desperdício de recursos para todos envolvidos. Incluindo a FCT.

This is a really precious resource.

And at last, the ZP "domain" has been broken down into two distinct ZP-N and ZP-C domains, as our ZP3 structures first showed something like 15 years ago!
So RIP ZP domain, and welcome ZP module 😊
