Research and Markets: Chile - Key Statistics Regulatory Overview and Fixed Network Markets Out Now(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) RDATE:25072008 Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a593c3/chile_key_statis) has announced the addition of the "Chile - Key Statistics Regulatory Overview and Fixed Network Markets" report to their offering. Chile is often portrayed as a role model by the international business community, especially for its adoption of progressive social policies together with a competitive free market system. Despite a number of still-unresolved problems, we find this promising picture reflected in the telecoms scenario. Chile s telecom market is the most mature in Latin America, with a state-of-the-art infrastructure and a sound regulatory framework. Telef nica Chile operates the largest fibre optic network in the country, with digital satellite and microwave links. Entel operates a nationwide trunk network using a microwave system and an NGN-IP platform. Telmex Chile has upgraded its fibre optic infrastructure with IP/MPLS and NGN technology. Nevertheless, despite impressive mobile and broadband penetration figures, Chile s fixed line teledensity is only about average for Latin America and has been stagnant or even shrinking since 1999. In this report, we review Chile s telecom infrastructure and regulatory developments, we take a look at all major and some minor fixed-line operators, and we provide relevant statistics and analyses.
