Vendor, operator and government public-private partnership delivers mobile broadband success to rural Chile
Mobile broadband coverage to 90 percent of the rural population of Chile, incorporating some of the most difficult terrain on Earth, shows what is possible when telecom vendor, operator and government work in partnership.
The three-way public-private initiative between Chile’s Ministry of Telecommunications, Ericsson and Chilean operator Entel has helped transform the lives of people and businesses in remote areas of the South American country, as well as paving the way towards participation in the Networked Society.
Nicolás Brancoli, head of Ericsson’s Customer Unit Chile, Ecuador and Peru, describes the relationship as a "golden triangle," in which the three partners share a vision for the country.
Brancoli is joined in our film by Pedro Pablo Errázuriz, Chile’s Telecommunications Minister, and Antonio Büchi, CEO of Entel PCS, to outline their views on the partnership and the success it has delivered.
