On July 8th, 2016, The Chilean Government, through the Undersecretary of Telecommunications ("Subtel"), initiated a Public Tender process for the project entitled "Southern Fiber Optic", which encompasses the granting of concessions for intermediate telecommunications services for the development of telecommunications physical infrastructure destined to provide fiber optic in the southern area of the country, specifically between the cities of Puerto Montt and Punta Arenas. The project considers the granting of a sum up to approximately USD95 million as state subsidies. The purpose of this project is to install fiber optic infrastructure with open and non-discriminatory access in Chile's most southern area, strengthening regionalization and more equitable development. This project will provide residents of these remote regions with access to telecommunications services that are similar in quality to those that are available in more populous regions of the county.
