Key Developments
- A bill is in the pipeline to create a Superintendency of
Telecommunications. Mobile Number Portability was introduced nationwide
in January 2012.
- Fixed Number Portability is being launched region by region, starting
in December 2011 and concluding in February 2013. To encourage customer
mobility, the regulator, Subtel, has banned the sale of carrier- locked
handsets, and ordered operators to unlock devices free of charge. Chile
is eliminating domestic long distance charges and establishing a single
nationwide calling area.
- Chile's Tower Act, devised for health and environmental reasons, is
helping to promote MVNOs and infrastructure sharing.
- Smartphone sales are soaring in Chile, driven by the popularity of
social media and improved 3G coverage - as well as diminishing prices
and a wider range of devices.
- Chile's Facebook penetration rate is the highest in Latin America and
one of the highest in the world.
- In Chile, more fixed- line customers subscribe to telephony bundled
with another service than to telephony on its own.
- Following a failed bid to buy GTD, Entel plans to roll out satellite
TV and triple play services for residential customers.
