Chile Telecom Industry Overview
The telecom market in Chile is moderately consolidated with key players like Telefonica, WOM SA, and others. The regulatory system attempts to encourage fair competition, safeguard consumer rights, and ensure the delivery of high-quality services. Regulations have been set into effect to promote innovation, draw in investment, and keep the playing field equivalent for every player.
In June 2023, Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones is well-focused on various expansion strategies where the two antennas that Entelinstalled in Rapa Nui correspond to the second phase of the tender for the 3.5 GHz 5G spectrum, which allows 5G connectivity from Putreto Puerto Williams.
In April 2023, Claro Chile, a telecommunications company, was given provisional authorization by the Subsecretaria de Telecomunicaciones, Subtel (Department of Telecommunications) to utilize a portion of the spectrum it already holds in the 3.5 GHz band to provide commercial 5G services.
In January 2023, WOM announced that it completed the installation of the first of the rural 4G/5G sites it committed to deploying as part of its bid for 700MHz spectrum in 2021.
