Chile - regulator's blog

SUBTEL launches first government blog to discuss telecommunications
see also Subtel Blog

Do you ever feel like government authorities are too distant, would never listen to you, or, perhaps you would simply like to offer them a piece of advice? Well, the Internet has now shortened the gap, allowing citizens to directly communicate with the Chilean Telecommunications Secretariat (SUBTEL).

Bringing the people closer in order to hear everyone’s opinion is the motivation behind the SUBTEL´s decision to launch the first government blog in Chile. The Internet forum will serve as an open and free way for anyone to offer an opinion and discuss SUBTEL activities within the realms of Telecommunications and the Information Community.

While the technology is new to Chile, it is also state of the art on an international level. With the blog, SUBTEL will become the first telecommunications regulation organization in Latin America to have this kind of Internet site.

The web site (blog.subtel.cl) will feature up to date information concerning public policies as well as projects and works being carried out by the organization throughout Chile. Citizens will be able to comment on the information presented, giving users an opportunity to voice their opinions and recommendations directly to government officials of this strategically important national department.
