Portability began and with it the increase in competition, since this year at least five new operators will be incorporated, both traditional and virtual, reaching eight actors that will provide mobile services.

But for now, the projections suggest that the first year only between 10% and 15% of users will change companies, reaching 25% in the second year. That figure is given, on the one hand, because even the new players entering this market, VTR and Nextel, and the virtual mobile operators Virgin, Falabella and Netline that have not defined a date for its implementation. 

What do the new competitors hold?

Virgin

The British company, which promises better prices on rates, will arrive in the national market during the last days of March or early April and will target the youth market. As Matías Wolff, director of marketing declares: “In segmentation we will go out of their way for them. Everything will be designed for young people. We know that Virgin is a cool brand and has certain permissions. That message is interesting to them. ”

And they are already doing it, with their message “soon they will stop shitting” that has generated controversy and that apparently has been rejected by some television channels.

As they advance, customer service will be one of the important points. This is why the call center will be in the same offices of the company, they will not outsource it. 

VTR

This company is finalizing the last details for the official launch, which will be in the course of the first semester.

“At the end of the month, the white march begins, which by itself will be very innovative and innovative, because we are going to ask 10,000 users (throughout Chile) external that under very good special commercial conditions, we help with your comments, observations, complaints, to build our commercial offer and to co-fund our network, “said VTR Executive Chairman Mauricio Ramos.

“The idea is that users tell us what they would like to have, what they would like us to do, what types of services or plans they would like us to offer, to help us co-fund the network, because we want to innovate from the beginning,”

NEXTEL

The promise of Nextel is an innovative mobile communication system called Push to talk, where customers will be able to communicate between Nextel equipment unlimitedly and for a fixed cost, not only in Chile, but in all countries that have the presence of the company (United States, Brazil, Mexico, El Salvador, Argentina and Peru).

As stated by the vice president of legal and corporate affairs, Miguel Oyonart, this service “generates a one-to-one and direct connection with users, is the latest generation and has a total or similar quality of service to telephony. With this I believe that we will be a real competition, “he said.

Falabella

Falabella, one of the largest retail firms in Latin America, reported that its objective is to function as a virtual mobile operator and use the systems and facilities of other companies that already have the necessary infrastructure.

From this business scheme, Falabella begins to have the first conversations with Movistar, Entel and Claro. Although the company also does not rule out negotiations with VTR and Nextel.

Netline

Like Virgin Mobile, Netline plans to enter the mobile phone market as a Virtual Mobile Operator. To this group Telsur is added again with his OMV after the Entel-Gtd merger did not prosper.

How has the Portability experience been in other Latin American countries?

Mexico was the first country in Latin America to implement number portability on June 5, 2008, and according to the figures provided by 4G Americas, as of September 2011, the number of ported lines registered amounts to 935,054 for landlines and 3,414. 607 for mobile.

In Peru, portability is only enabled on mobile networks and began on January 1, 2010. 

Argentina, for its part, postponed the start of the modality next March.

The 7 Most Famous Digital Failures Of 2011

0

When a brand announces the launch of a certain technology, application or event, all users and even those who are not, wait expectantly and eager to know what will happen. But what happens when our expectations are not met and brands are responsible for disappointment?

If you do not remember what we are talking about, here are seven examples from last year that gave enough to talk about and that broke the hearts of more than one client.

1. Google+: The social network created by the most famous search engine in the world seems to have failed to convince Internet users, since they continued using Facebook before the new new 2.0 site that offers image editor, video calls, organization of your contacts in circles , among other things.

2. BlackBerry: Last October, Research In Motion (RIM), the smartphone manufacturer, had to deal with a power outage that left millions of customers without service. It also adds the loss of market share against Apple and Android and the lack of updating the operating system.

3. Facebook: The new biography or profile design, which generates a timeline that covers the entire life of the user, was harshly criticized for its lack of usability.

4. PlayStation: The attack of a hacker last April on the website of Sony PSN online services, generated the publication of personal data that users shared on the network, such as bank details and addresses.

5. iPhone: When Apple users anxiously awaited the arrival of the new iPhone5, they had to settle for the iPhone 4S, which does not mean a breakthrough compared to its predecessor, but despite this the 4S broke sales record in 2011.

6. Apple and Samsung: They have accused each other of intellectual property violation in order to prevent the sale of their adversaries’ items. This has allowed them to remove items from the market already taken for sale.

7. Anonymous: The threat they promised to Facebook as a result of the violation of their users’ privacy was only a project that did not materialize, affecting their credibility and reputation.

If you remember another failure of 2011, tell us!

The Controversial Law To Stop Internet Piracy

0

The Stop Online Piracy Act, better known as the Law and Soup, aims to block websites that offer links to content protected by intellectual property rights.

This bill, promoted by the United States Congress on October 26 last year, features Lamar S. Smith , a congressman who has the support of the Hollywood film industry, the major US labels and Entertainment Software Association, the organization that brings together the leading video game development companies.

The affected

Any website that contains links to content protected by copyright, such as music, movies, series, computer programs, etc., and that is not licensed for it, could be blocked, all this regardless of where the website is hosted (within or outside the borders of the United States).

Facebook and Twitter will be totally affected by this law, since even a comment from a user who had a link that directs to another site that violates the rule could cause blocking of the entire site.

Companies that register the domains of the infringing pages, payment intermediation services such as PayPal and even search engines that offer results that lead to the infringing pages (eg Google), will also be affected.

If the SOPA Law is approved, the Department of Justice will have the power to criminalize any website that hosts illegal content and will be imposed on internet providers, search engines and online advertising and payment companies.

It also stipulates that web companies that advertise or have businesses with offenders may also be blocked.

Measures against the law

As a quick and coordinated action against the bill, the Reddit social bookmarking service announced a blackout of its services. Measure supported by the Wikimedia Foundation (responsible for Wikipedia), as well as others that are against it such as Google, Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo !, Foursquare, LinkedIn, Amazon, Mozilla, Paypal, among others.

If in the debate in the Congress of the next day 18 it is confirmed that the SOPA law continues its legal course, these large companies will organize a joint disconnection on a global scale on January 23, one day before the law is discussed again in The House of Representatives. If that happened, it would be a digital blackout unprecedented in the history of the Internet, which would mean millions of losses worldwide.
