Telecommunications Month
In recent decades, the importance of telecommunications in our daily lives has grown considerably, going from being a luxury to a basic necessity in people's lives. The telephone has become a fundamental tool and most of our procedures are online and it is now a memory of the past to stand in line to pay for some basic service.
Just as the world has changed and connectivity is becoming more and more important, so too must the time we spend highlighting its relevance. For this reason, since 2023 the Undersecretary of Telecommunications (Subtel) has designated May as Telecommunications Month, organizing a series of activities together with the different actors in this sector that has Chile as a leader in the region.
