Os dados móveis já não são um pacote: são infraestrutura

Mobile data consumption in Portugal has surged, with users averaging 18.5GB per month, reflecting a shift from voice calls and SMS to digital connectivity. This change raises questions about the traditional model of selling data as a limited resource. Mobile data has become essential for daily activities, including work and navigation, making it impractical to ration usage. As data is now a fundamental infrastructure, access should not be tied to long-term contracts or high costs, especially for vulnerable groups. The Portuguese market is evolving with more competitive offers, but true accessibility requires simple and flexible plans. Ultimately, mobile data should be viewed as an essential service for everyone.
