To bring the benefits of telecommunications to a wide swath of the population, we must work to democratize access to the platforms, both economically and in the promotion of education, letting you reach all segments of the population regardless of geographical distribution, age range, socioeconomic and other characteristics.

The regulator has to promote convergence in the implementation of the platforms. Policy that is supported by technology standardization organizations, in order to reduce costs and eliminate the rigidities of telecommunication services subscription, thus promoting the competitiveness of operators.

While these are points of national importance, there is an issue that falls Chile since the earthquake and tsunami of 27 February, which is the proper preparation of telecommunications platforms to effectively address early warning processes being natural disasters or emergencies or otherwise.

In this regard the Minister Felipe Morande and operators defined courses of action so as to make the investments that allow us to be prepared to use the SMS messaging platform of the cellular networks as a mechanism both massive and selective (geographically) to alert population, all this without additional cost to users.

Through this implementation, which is a clear example of applied technology benefits to society, other goals also arise that are in constant discussion in the entities responsible for carrying out a definition of standards. This is the security of information or, in other words, how to prevent such a powerful tool and as wide coverage, such as information technology or the Internet, are not vulnerable to cyber attacks, viruses, spam and others.

These are some of the issues likely are and will be discussed and analyzed in the private and public sectors of telecommunications and ICTs, it certainly points to a purely objective social and economic benefits of national importance.
