From 2014 all the country’s telecommunication companies will offer plans for fixed and mobile services to their customers, in bundled form. Today they are only entitled to use that mode with fixed telephone, fixed broadband and Pay TV.

The change will allow inclusion to that offer mobile broadband and mobile telephony, which involves offering four or five services jointly. And it’s not something the government has established or an agreement between the companies, but it allowed a ruling by TDLC in December last year.

In its opinion, known as the fault on net/off net (calls made on the network of a company to another) – the court identified six conditions to companies offering jointly telecommunications services (bundling).

The last one specifies the statements govern until the time the provision of data transmission services 4G has started in every one of the coverage areas defined in the concession decrees. “When that happens, will immediately void without an express declaration by this court,” says the report.

As Entel, Movistar and Claro will have deployed the 4G or LTE network in 2014 in the country, as pledged in the 2600 MHz spectrum tender, next year all telecommunication companies can offer their services on the same ballot.

This, regardless of whether they deliver to its customers 4G technology. Therefore, in the industry it’s believed that the ruling favors companies like VTR and GTD.

VTR’s commercial VP, Christian Ariztía, noted that “the court’s ruling was good news, because it recognizes a trend that is occurring throughout the world: companies are mutating 4Play (bundling four services) to take advantage of benefits of fixed-mobile convergence. In fact, in almost all Latin American countries, including Chile, Claro and Movistar are present, two international operators have fixed and mobile networks. Indeed, to face competition that will generate about bundling 4Play services is that it was essential for VTR to enter the mobile business so we can compete these fixed-mobile operators”, he explained.

Patricio Cáceres, Director of Strategy and Regulation of Movistar, shared that “we are preparing the business offer and systems needed to pass this new bundling stage in the mass market, now also with mobile services, as of March 2014. “

Entel, Claro and Nextel would not comment.

Today the industry can offer companies tied fixed and mobile services, because the TDLC only made it a condition rather than offering to individuals. In any case, the general instructions of the TDLC may be modified by the Supreme Court, which accepted it for processing the claim lodged by the enterprise “Tu Ves” in this case.

The telecomunication technology FTTH (Fiber To The Home), framed within the technologies FTTx, is based on the use of fiber optic cables and optical distribution adapted to this technology to provide advanced services such as the Triple Play (telephony, broad band Internet and television) to household and businesses of subscribers. The implantation of this technology is taking hold in our region, where many cable operators  reduce ADSL service promotion in the benefit of fiber optic. With specific targeted contents as a more attractive alternative to propose  broadband for the user (music, videos, photos, etc.), this kind of training practices are very expected within our country.

AGENDA

The first part, in-charge Pablo A. Vicino, will begin on Tuesday June 25 at 15:00 hours, and will consist of FTTx training with connectorized in field and optic junction. The activity will include the connector assembly approach in field optical, optical junction alternatives and practices.

The next day, at the same time, and with Eng. Damian Brazionis as speaker, the topic addressed: “Using the OTDR in expert mode”. During these final 4 hours will work on the basic introduction of fiber optics, determination and measurement of optical budget, OTDR mediations and verification and cleaning of connections: patchcord and ODF.

According to the specialists, for this year is expected to grow exponentially in the development of these networks, as cable operators are seeing that they need this technology to provide higher bandwidth, both for the customer demand as by the pressure of competition, for which is forecast that the workshop will be really busy.

INSCRIPTIONS

The Meeting organizers invited all those who are interested in attending this workshop, to reserve your place as soon as possible accrediting through the official  web site: www.encuentrosregionales.com. Space where you’ll find also more information on this workshop as well as additional activities that will be developed during the 3 days of the Telecommunications Regional Encounter – Paraná 2013.

This is the first mobile app available in more than 150 countries and 8 languages including English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish (Latin America) and Spanish (Spain).
