Press Release Body = RNCOS Research:
(http://www.marketsmonitor.com/category/COM34.html) Chile with around 66% has the
highest mobile telephony penetration rates in Latin America. The ratio of its mobile
subscribers to fixed line subscribers is 3:1. In fact, Chile's mobile industry is
one of the most competitive in the region. As per statistical data, the mobile
companies decreased from four to three in January 2005 as Telefonica de Chile merged
with BellSouth Chile. With messaging and data services to compensate the voice
revenue competition, Chilean operators are seeking new sources of revenue.

Chile's mobile penetration in Latin America is 20% higher than the average. Although

users.
