Dear shareholders
As you will be able to see in this Annual Report, on behalf of the
Entel Board, I have the pleasure to present excellent results for
2011, a year that marked the beginning of a new stage in our
company’s history.
Our Ability to Adapt to Changes
Fixed-mobile convergence, the exponential growth in connectivity, the development of new IT and cloud services, the enormous penetration of services, and the fast and strong adoption
of technologies across all customer categories made the time
right to restructure our business around an integrated vision of
technologies and markets.
We needed an increasingly agile and flexible organization to
service different types of increasingly demanding customers
with ever more complex and specific requirements.
It is a world in which applications can be used on many devices,
and both applications and data are stored “in the cloud,” on shared infrastructure housed in large data centers.
In this context, it was necessary to make a number of changes
in order to continue carrying out our mission. From an organization structured around two business units (wireline and mobile),
we have transformed into one based around business units for
each market: Consumers, Entreprises, Corporations, and Wholesale. Each unit has a holistic vision of its customer and is responsible for the commercialization and sale of products, as well
as setting prices, and customer service. Cross-cutting units,
such as Technology and Operations, IT Services, Strategy and
Innovation, Human Resources, and Administration were established to support the core business focus on market segments.
This also presented the opportunity to complement the restructuring of our organization with a new slogan: “Live better
connected.” The concept was launched in 2011 and we are convinced it reflects Entel’s spirit and role when it comes to current
uses of technology in people’s lives and day-to-day business
activities.
Strong Commercial Performance
The restructuring and changes made this year an enormously
challenging one. However, Entel rose to the occasion, delivering a
strong performance across all areas. The mobile area saw a good
combination of factors. Mobile broadband (MBB) and the use of
mobile Internet from smartphones were two of the most significant drivers of growth in the industry, reaching 23.6 million customers in Chile during 2011, a market penetration of around 137%.
In light of this change in the market, one of Entel’s main achievements in this area was the significant growth in the number of
MBB customers (including data cards for business applications),
reaching 945,429 users in December (72% more than in 2010).
Furthermore, the number of contract customers with mobile Internet enabled smartphones rose from 17% to 28% of the customer base during 2011.
Together with strong results in the traditional mobile voice business, this allowed Entel to increase the total mobile customer
base to 9,347,434 (as of December 2011), a 24% increase with
respect to the end of 2010, gaining almost three additional percentage points of market share to reach around 39% of active customers, 2.8 million of which have a contract (around 30%).
The wireline business also delivered solid performance. Entel is
currently a market leader in the enterprise segment for wireline
services, providing integrated voice, data, Internet, and IT outsourcing services focused on data center and cloud/on-demand services.
Total revenue from the wireline business rose by 9% in 2011, increasing by 7% for the aforementioned business services (excluding long distance).
Similarly, the Americatel Perú and Entel Call Center subsidiaries
both displayed solid results, in alignment with the company strategy. Americatel strengthened its focus on business services, whose
contribution increased to 48% of its total revenue. On the other
hand, with three new centers in Chile and the country’s first COPC
certification, Entel Call Center has consolidated its excellent Contact Center and technical support platform, both in Chile and Peru,
providing the market with an excellent quality of service. The business represents an important contribution to the Group in terms
of its strategy of providing its customers with first class service.

Report 2011
Connectivity is no longer a luxury; today it is essential. Today’s
market is dominated by data connectivity: customers now need
access to voice and Internet services on multiple devices (including telephones, computers, tablets and cameras), services
that must be appropriately tailored to the capabilities of each,
delivering a network experience that provides access to mobile,
fixed, and wireless services, and allows users to switch between
them almost imperceptibly, without any interruption to services
or applications.

Results
Customer Focus
Strong management across all areas of the business resulted in
consolidated revenue of CLP $1,240,914 million, a 14% increase
from 2010.
Entel is committed to providing first class service and continuous improvement. Its efforts in this area have been recognized by the market in the results of two prestigious surveys: the
National Customer Satisfaction Survey, run by the organization
ProCalidad, which ranked Entel first among mobile telephone
service providers for the ninth year in a row, and the Best Customer Experience award for 2011, run by the Ibero-American
Association for Company-Customer Relations following an
exhaustive study of 32 mobile telephone service providers in
countries including Spain, Mexico and Brazil.
Together with the focus on services with higher profit margins, this increase represents a rise of 16% and 14% in EBITDA and Operating Income, reaching CLP $515,200 million and
CLP $238,227 million, respectively.
Entel’s final profit for 2011 was CLP $180,767 million, representing an increase of 5% on 2010 levels. This figure is a product
of increased non-operating costs, principally associated with
charges in the valuation of derivative instruments, together with
greater tax expenditure as a result of an increase in corporation
tax and the absence of the extraordinary tax credit included in
the previous year’s accounts.
Customer behavior after the introduction of number portability
for mobile telephone services on January 16, 2012, also affirmed our company’s excellent standing. According to official statistics, one month after the launch, 39% of customers who had
switched companies chose Entel as their new supplier. Perhaps
more significantly, 51% of contract customers who switched
suppliers moved to Entel.

In addition to this, USD $230 million was invested in mobile equipment for contract customers in 2011. This is closely
related to the company’s drive to promote the use of mobile
Internet on smartphones, a strategy that requires greater investment in devices that will in turn translate into increases
in revenue further down the line.

Investments
At Entel, we believe our services are differentiated by our network and technology infrastructure, which are both resilient
and deliver national coverage. This priority is reflected in our
challenging and significant investment plan.
In order to provide our customers with the best experiences
in the services they use, we have the best possible network,
data center, and technology infrastructure, a fundamental aspect of our strategy. We continue to make significant investments in our infrastructure, with investments for 2011 totaling USD $502 million (not including handsets for postpaid
customers). Of this, USD $300 million (equivalent to 60%) was
spent on development for mobile services and the remainder
on projects for corporate and wholesale customers, platforms,
infrastructure, and fiber optic networks to provide advanced
connectivity, alongside expanding our data centers and cloud
service platforms.
A significant part of this investment is related to the Todo Chile
Comunicado project, delivered through the Telecommunications Development Fund. We began work on the project in 2010
and it will see Internet access provided to 1,474 rural areas. By
the end of 2011, the project was 91% complete, thanks to the
enormous feats of technology and engineering in which more
than 630 people have taken part and in which Entel’s technology partner, Ericsson, has played a significant role.
The Todo Chile Comunicado project, a large-scale publicprivate initiative launched in 2010, meets our fundamental
commitment to connect Chile, in this case helping to close the
digital gap that exists between urban and rural areas in order
to facilitate new economic and social development, and ultimately improve the quality of life of the country’s inhabitants.
Another important CSR initiative involves making our tower
and antennae infrastructure more appealing in terms of its
presence in the city. Our networks form an integral part of
the urban environment and in response to this responsibility,
we have anticipated the requirements to be introduced by the
new ruling legislation to better integrate our mobile telephone antennae with the city.
Our first efforts in this area will see the participation of distinguished architects and artists who will transform a number
of antennae throughout the country into works of art that will
contribute to the urban environment.
We plan to invest USD $45 million in this and other initiatives
that will run throughout 2012.
The consistency between the CSR policy and the company’s
actions was once again recognized by its high ranking among
the most distinguished companies in this area in the MORI
CRS survey for 2011.

Innovation
Financing
Innovation plays a central role in Entel’s growth, not only in
the development of products and services, but in the creation
of channels, service models, and business models. In 2011 we
created a Strategy and Innovation Department to consolidate
and manage the process of innovation distributed throughout
the company, generating management information and
promoting a culture of innovation.
In December, Entel signed an international bank loan for
USD $200 million with the Bank of Tokio-Mitsubishi and Scotiabank. The loan consists in the payment of a single amortization in December 2014 and an annual variable interest rate
based on the Libor rate with a 0.95% annual spread, payable
quarterly or half-yearly. The entirety of the loan is for the advanced payment of the first installment of an existing syndicated loan whose first capital payment is due in June 2012.
This will allow the company to improve its liquidity.
Entel was recognized as the most innovative business in the
telecommunications industry in a study carried out by the
Business School at Universidad de los Andes (ESE) in 2011.
The ranking shows that the company has systematically
managed to establish innovation as part of its culture.
Entel has an “innovation factory” to take ideas and transform
them into valuable products and services. In 2011 it released
65 innovations onto the market. Part of this innovative spirit
and culture is reflected in the Entel Visa credit card developed
jointly with Banco de Chile, having a long-term strategic
partnership that will ensure the credit card achieves a
significant market position.
The company’s gross debt only increased by 10%, largely as
a result of the 11% fluctuation in the CLP–USD exchange rate,
although this was partially offset by regular payments of bank
debt and leasing.
The risk ratings from the international agencies Standard &
Poors and Moody’s remained at BBB+ and BAA1, respectively.
It is notable that the company has succeeded in maintaining its high level of solvency and liquidity in a year in which,
in addition to the highly significant investments that were
made, CLP $140 billion was paid out in dividends, equivalent
to CLP $595 per share or a dividend yield of 6.12%. This gives
a clear indication of the company’s ability to generate operational cash.
Challenges Going Forward
In 2012, two new mobile companies with their own 3G networks,
VTR and Nextel, will enter the market, causing supply and competition to increase in the industry. Similarly, virtual mobile operators (companies who use the networks of other operators to
deliver their services) will also enter the market. The Department of Telecommunications has awarded 22 virtual mobile
operator licenses and Virgin Mobile and Falabella Móvil have
publicly announced their intention to enter the market.
Our focus remains in our customers: by understanding them,
building close relationships, and providing first class service, we
seek to ensure an integrated, world-class experience from end
to end. All company activities are focused on this goal and we
are convinced it remains the best way to meet the challenges of
competitive markets like the one in which we operate.
In closing, I would like to offer my sincerest gratitude for the
important support of our shareholders and the financial markets, the loyalty of our customers, and the commitment shown
by Entel staff.
Facing these challenges requires the firm commitment and
capability of people satisfied with their role in a company that
creates opportunities. I dare to say our organization is well
equipped for the future. The new Entel, a business made up of
more than 7,000 people, is a vehicle to allow us to transform
our dreams of leading the market, of exploring and taking advantage of new business opportunities, of providing services
of the highest quality, and of ensuring our customers believe
and trust us, of feeling fulfilled and passionate in our work, of
being able to take pride in all of this and, in doing so, making
Chile live better connected.

Report 2011
In addition to the above, we have also considered the requirement to strengthen our wholesale networks provision, in this
case by providing roaming mobile and mobile virtual network
operator (MVNO) services. We believe a strategy correctly focused on wholesale services can ensure part of the competitive value of other operators can be delivered and captured
through our network.
Another challenge for 2012 will be the introduction of LTE
networks, recently announced as 4G. Last December, the Department of Telecommunications launched the public tender
process for 2600 MHz spectrum that will allow the new technology to be deployed, resulting in a considerable increase in
browsing speeds on mobile devices.
Entel is in a strong position to face these changes. In 2011, we
became the first operator in Latin America to implement HSPA+
Dual Carrier, a new technological landmark in the evolution
of our network, providing our users with maximum download
speeds of up to 24 Mbps, almost double the existing speed. This
technology is in fact a step to pave the way for 4G networks,
which we will being hearing more about in the near future.

Entel has successfully adapted to major
changes in terms of competitiveness,
securing its development through
innovation and a focus on service quality.
Origins
Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones Entel S.A., was formed by the Chilean government in 1964 to connect the country
through a secure and modern long-distance communication
system. During its first two decades, the company installed
microwave networks throughout a large part of the national
territory, as well as the first Latin American satellite station
and the National Telecommunications Center, also known as
the Entel Tower, the core of the country’s communications system. At the start of the 1990s, it consolidated its technological
leadership with the digitalization of its network and the installation of an extensive fiber-optic network, which now provides
coverage from Arica to Puerto Montt.
;)
For 30 years, Entel remained the country’s only long-distance
operator, however, in 1994, reforms to the national telecommunications market made it possible for new players to enter
the industry and for the company to diversify into other highgrowth segments, such as mobile telephony.
Transformation
Maintaining the vision upon which it was founded, Entel restructured its business model to operate in highly competitive
markets, basing its strategy on three fundamental aspects:
high service quality, infrastructure, and innovation. In 1994, it
installed the first GSM network in Latin America, followed by
the first commercial network in Latin America with ATM technology, which became the current multiservice IP network for
fixed broadband solutions in 1997, and the first mobile broadband service delivered over the GPRS platform on the 1,900
MHz spectrum in 2001. In 2005, Entel became the first company in Chile to offer a service providing users email access
from a mobile handset, and in 2006, it became the first operator in Latin America to launch a 3.5G network on a commercial
scale, followed by its HSDPA+ network in 2009.
In 2011, it continued to make progress in this area with the introduction of HSPA+ Dual Carrier technology, being one of the
first companies in the world to offer this standard.
To strengthen and increase innovations of this nature, Entel
has formed strategic partnerships with technological leaders
such as Vodafone, Samsung, and Ericsson.
Ownership
Entel remained a state-owned company until 1986, when the
government began the privatization process that was completed in 1992. In 1993, through a series of stock-market transactions, Chilquinta (today Almendral), acquired 19.9% of the
company’s stock. In June 1996, a meeting of Entel shareholders authorized an increase in capital to allow the entry of
Stet International Netherlands N.V. (later to be taken over by
Telecom Italia), which shared control with Chilquinta through
a shareholder agreement. In March 2001, Telecom Italia purchased the shares owned by Chilquinta and Grupo Matte, increasing its stake in the Company to 54.76%. The Italian group
maintained its stock until March 2005, when Almendral S.A.
re-purchased the stock, which it retained to the end of 2011.

Entel’s mobile and wireline businesses
were integrated in June 2011. The
company adapted its organization and
business processes to successfully
meet growing competition in the
markets in which it operates, both
in terms of customer requirements
and the technologies present in the
telecommunications market and the
associated IT services.
Entel was restructured
to reach new levels of
innovation and service, and
deliver closer relationships
with our customers
New Structure
Organizational Change
In its current organizational structure, Entel’s operations are
based around market segments: Consumers, Enterprises, and
Corporations. Each of these units has its own teams for innovation and product development, prices, marketing, sales, and
customer service.
On March 1, 2011, Richard Buchi Buc resigned from the role
of Corporate CEO to take up the position of Executive ViceChairman of the Entel Group. On the same date, Antonio Büchi
assumed the position of CEO for both the wireline (Entel S.A.)
and mobile (Entel PCS) businesses. Both positions will be merged on completion of the integration program.
Traditional technology activities (networks, internal systems,
and operations), together with wholesale services, are grouped under a convergent Technology and Operations area.
IT services is responsible for managing, operating and running
processing, transaction, and connectivity technology platforms
(cloud services, data center, outsourcing).
Antonio Büchi, who holds a degree in Civil Engineering from
Universidad Católica and a Masters in Economics from the
University of Chicago, has worked for Entel for the last 12
years. He joined the company in 2000 as Planning and New
Business Executive.
All cross-cutting units operate under a single leadership. The
structure was designed in line with international best practices, envisaging close integration among different areas as a
result of increasing technological synergies.

The company’s integration and
cultural transformation determined its
activities in terms of human resource
management for 2011. Consolidating
a new organization focused on various
market segments implies technical
challenges and adaptation.
Integration Strategy
The new stage embarked upon by Entel with the restructuring
of the organization in 2011 made it necessary to develop a human resources strategy specifically focused on creating an environment to make the cultural change required by this transformation possible. This implied strengthening the area with
the creation of an Integration and Cultural Change Department
to provide cross-cutting support to this process through specific actions, such as a complete communications plan that
involved more than 25 meetings between the CEO and executives and managers from all areas of the business, and the
72 projects
were undertaken by Human
Resources Management to facilitate
the integration process.
design and application of integration surveys throughout the
year to measure and analyze the evolution of the areas in
terms of different aspects related to the integration. One of the
most significant achievements in this respect was the creation
of a portal on the company Intranet to allow management to
respond to concerns and receive suggestions. The integration
process will continue with a number of initiatives scheduled
for 2012.
Training
Out of a workforce of 4,764 employees (excluding subsidiaries), 79% took part in training and educational activities
throughout the year. This represents a total of 134,000 man
hours of training and an investment of CLP $1,000 million.
The training programs provided included:
Integrated Induction, to provide new-starts with a general
overview of the company.
Management, a successful program that has been running
for five years in partnership with Universidad de Chile. In 2011,
440 employees participated.
Leadership, a program to promote the capacities and beliefs that facilitate the process of integrating teams and business
areas among Entel’s leaders.
Postgraduate Scholarships, to promote the development
of specific skills. In 2011, 47 employees received this benefit.
Academic Certification Program, delivered in partnership
with Uniacc, the program offers e-learning diplomas every
year, targeting employees who have contact with customers in
the Consumers Market. Upon completion, employees obtain a
higher technical qualification in marketing and sales.
General Training, in partnership with Universidad Adolfo
Ibáñez, this 88-hour program aims to provide employees, managers, directors, and executives with a global and integrated
vision of the business, as well as an understanding of the importance of its people in obtaining results.

Organizational Development
The organizational development areas were vitally important
in transforming the corporate culture. A central objective
of this area was to stimulate the working environment to
create motivated and high performing teams. This saw the
development of the Integrated Competencies Management
Model (corporate and functional) to facilitate the evolution
of the new corporate identity in line with the business
requirements and the company’s strategic objectives. An
integrated performance evaluation system was designed
based on this model, with a progressive implementation
aligned with the cultural impact process.
To strengthen trust, close relationships, knowledge, and
commitment in new teams, 32 integration activities took
place, independently designed for each group in line with their
specific requirements. However, the majority of these were
based on three stages: getting to know each other outside
the workplace; revising the historical contributions of each
subgroup; and aligning the group with future challenges. The
Great Place to Work survey was used to gather information
about the working environment in the new organization in
order to provide a basis on which to measure progress from
2012 onwards.

Selection
Salaries
In 2011, the company consolidated new recruitment channels
that provide it with more direct access to potential candidates,
taking advantage of the use of social networking platforms.
In parallel to this, it continued to take part in careers fairs to
ensure Entel is regarded as an attractive company, especially
among young professionals. Furthermore, the focus was on
delivering projects that facilitate the company’s integration,
paying particular attention to the definition of the internal recruitment policy and the implementation of a single portal for
job applications in order to promote personal development opportunities within Entel.
Entel has a salary management model that integrates processes for the analysis and description of internal positions
and the determination of salary and incentive structures in
line with market rates as part of the company’s plan for excellence. Similarly, the company has created a structured compensation system based on management by targets, which
applies to directors, executives and area managers and seeks to align compliance with the objectives set at these levels
with those of the company, helping to maintain a coherent
vision.
Staff Management
Report 2011

One of the largest human resources management challenges
for 2011 was the integration of systems required to ensure the
correct management of policies and procedures throughout
the integrated company, guaranteeing that labour legislation
was respected, together with employment contracts, collective
bargaining agreements, and the efficient and timely payment of
salaries. To deliver this, the human resources platforms were
integrated and unified on a SAP-based system. Improvements
were made to this platform, implementing the SAP electronic
medical license process and initiating the project for the
electronic signing of contracts and addendums.
For 2011, the main challenges were related to the creation
of the integrated structure of the new company, the development of new job descriptions aligned with the new Entel, as
well as variable salary consultants and salary scales.
Belonging
Entel has supported its workers in a number of aspects
outside the workplace, fostering a strong sense of belonging,
motivation, and commitment. In 2011, various activities and
events took place for Entel employees and their families,
such as the National Independence Celebrations for all staff
in Santiago, the Family Christmas Party, the Male and Female
Football Championship, and the delivery of gifts for Children’s’
Day and Christmas.
Occupational Health and Safety
The accident rate at Entel was 1.47% in 2001. In line with
information recorded by the Chilean Health and Safety
Association (ACHS), this figure was far below the average for
the telecommunications industry (4.84%) and the Transport
and Telecommunications sector (7.88%).
This strong result is complemented by the Annual Safety
Distinction awarded by ACHS to the subsidiary Entel Servicios
Telefónicos S.A. and the “Acción Pariraria Prize” awarded by
this institution to the General Mackenna facility Committee.
Entel has a permanent goal to achieve high standards of
excellence in risk prevention and occupational health and
safety. In addition to optimizing its operations and promoting
productivity, it seeks to contribute to the quality of wellbeing
of its employees and contracted workers, understanding that
the concern for their life and physical integrity is the most
significant sign of respect towards them.
Integration Party, July, 29. More than
4,000 people from the Entel Team
throughout the country attended the
Integration Party, which took place in
Santiago to involve workers in progress
at various stages of this corporate project
in a positive way. This was one of the
most important and symbolic events.

Trust, leadership, and a strong corporate
reputation make the Entel brand one of
the company’s main assets.
“Live better connected”
Communication
Based on our customers’ requirements and usage patterns, in
2011, Entel launched its new tagline “Live better connected”.
This tagline retains the promise of “Being the first to live the
future,” but is also an invitation to enjoy not only voice connectivity but data connectivity.
During 2011, in the Consumers Market, the company focused
its effort on communicating its range of contract and prepaid
plans, especially for mobile Internet and smartphones, focusing attention on improvements to the browsing experience
using mobile broadband.
The quality of Entel’s infrastructure, its ability to innovate, and
its first class service stand behind this concept.
The marketing strategy also focused on providing benefits valued by users through the Entel Zone, the program that allows
Entel users to accumulate points and exchange them for
packs of minutes, top ups, technical support, and equipment.
In this respect, a landmark for 2011 was the incorporation of
our own points program, since up to 2010 customers accumulated points through the Cencosud Nectar system.
Entel sponsored the Sensation and Creamfields
festivals, and the U2 concert, which drew
landmark crowds to Chile’s National Stadium.
As part of the benefits of the Entel Zone, Entel
offered its customers a 20% discount on tickets
to 33 concerts in 2011. Its traditional New Year
celebration on the Entel Tower attracted a
crowd of over 450,000.
Report 2011

The change allowed Entel Zone users to combine points and
money.
The Zone also offers discounts, mainly for cinema tickets,
football matches, pubs, restaurants, festivals, and concerts.
In 2011, some of the most exciting shows for which we offered
our customers cut-price tickets included the U2 concert,
and the Sensation, Creamfields, and Mystery land festivals,
reinforcing our brand leadership at these events. As part of
our efforts to strengthen ties with customers, the Entel Visa
credit card was launched in partnership with Banco de Chile,
becoming the card of the Entel Zone.
In the Businesses and Corporate Market, we focused on
consolidating the company’s position as an integrated supplier
of solutions that help build on the success of our customers’
businesses.
Entel reinforced the association of its brand with the concepts
of innovation and supporting the competitiveness of its
customers, holding the fourth Entel Summit in partnership
with its technology partners. The event brought Gary Hamel,
recognized by Fortune magazine as one of the world’s leading
experts in business strategy, to Chile and was attended by
more than 1,700 people.
To support sport and the family life of the company’s
customers, Entel ran its successful Entel Mountain Bike
Challenge for the third time. The competition took place at
Lago Peñuelas in the Fifth Region, and brought together more
than 3,000 participants.
Entel carried out a tour in nine regions to promote
entrepreneurship, beginning in Antofagasta, with a presentation

Entel Data Center
Entel became the first Latin American operator to implement
HSPA+ Dual Carrier at the start of 2011. This technology will
make it possible to provide users with maximum theoretical
download speeds of up to 42 Mbps, practically double the
speed available prior to the introduction of this technology.
Entel has six data centers interconnected by fixed and mobile networks. They are named according to their location:
Amunátegui, Pedro de Valdivia, Ñuñoa, Longovilo, Vicuña
Mackenna, and Ciudad de los Valles.
Expansion of the 3G network is considered a stepping stone to
the arrival of 4G technology.
Report 2011
Forthcoming Evolution to 4G
In December 2011, the Department of Telecommunications
launched a new public tender process for the 2,600 MHz spectrum, which will allow the deployment of 4G networks throughout the country.
The capacity of these new networks will allow the use of applications such as high definition television (which requires considerable bandwidth to provide high image and sound quality)
on mobile devices, and in general will improve the browsing
experience of mobile broadband users, absorbing the growing
demand of mobile Internet traffic with higher service quality.
Entel has been testing this technology since the end of 2009 in
strategic partnership with Ericsson and Universidad de Chile.
Through performance evaluations, it has been able to determine that in real operating conditions, customers can obtain
mobile broadband speeds of up to 50 Mbps using 2 x 10 MHz
paired spectrum.
These data centers have a combined surface area of 5,660 m²
that has already been fitted out, and a master plan for growth
of up to 11,660 m². From these Data Centers, Entel provides
outsourcing services for IT operations, ranging from housing
all the way to more complicated services that involve the operation and running of the platforms that support our customers’ business applications.
Tier 3 Certified Design
The design of phase two of the Ciudad de Los Valles data center, whose construction began in September 2011 and is due
for completion in May 2012, was awarded Tier 3 certification
by the Uptime Institute. Recognition by this body confirms that
the planned infrastructure is suitable for providing high-quality uninterrupted services, with an availability of 99.982% and
high standards of construction, sustainability and security.
The first phase of construction of this data center was unveiled
in May 2010 and by October 2011, its occupation rate was already over 90%. The next phase will add another 2,000 m² of
surface area for servers and a generating capacity of 4 MW,
allowing a high degree of energy autonomy.
The Ciudad de Los Valles development plan is for 8,000 m²
constructed in four phases. The second of these entails investment of USD $35 million.
Entel’s has positioned itself as
the country’s leading data center
service provider.
Satellite
Fiber Optic Backbone
Network with 30 land-based stations distributed throughout Chile, including in isolated
areas. The network uses the capacity of the
Intelsat and Telesat satellite systems to provide data and telephone services, in addition
to the transportation of television and digital
audio signals.
The trunk network extends from Arica to
Puerto Montt with 3,450 km of fiber optic
backbone, using DWDM technology that can
reach transport speeds of up to 400 Gbps.
Entel also operates a VSAT platform for
traffic from private LAN/IP and Internet
networks.
In 2011, the company modernized and expanded its VSAT platform to support growth
in traffic and services, allowing point of
presence connectivity for 2G and 3G mobile
In the Metropolitan Region, the backbone has

This transportation network, which is mainly
used for the IP/MPLS network, moves around
190 Gbps originating from access and mobile
and fixed service aggregation networks, in
addition to interconnecting our various data
centers.
In terms of data, the 3G network supports the
mobile broadband and Internet access service
for smartphone users.
In 2011, more than 500 new sites were added
to existing points of presence on the network.
Furthermore, around 1,000 3G sites were
added on the 900 MHz frequency band for
Transam using existing points of presence.
Important increases in capacity were made to
meet the continually growing customer base
and traffic demand, making our network the
best in the country in terms of quality.
Microwaves
This technology is used for the traffic
branching and aggregation network, made
up of more than 3,500 links that make it
possible to connect many rural and isolated
areas to the fiber optic trunk network. The
network is primarily used nationally for
regional transmission and as an access
network for mobile telephone and wireless
data services. The migration process from
SDH to IP/Ethernet technology capable of
reaching speeds of up to 1 Gbps is currently
under way.

The 2G network is implemented using GSM/
GPRS/EDGE technology at all points of presence. It is designed and configured to support
voice and data services to meet the highest
international quality standards, allowing data
connection speeds of up to 100 kbps.
The network is made up of 864 nodes spread
across 331 points of presence for the aggregation of access traffic. It has evolved to Gigabit
Ethernet connections throughout the national
territory, making it possible to provide dedicated and high-availability services for voice and
data for the fixed and mobile businesses.
In 2011, the company added almost 570 new
points of presence. This investment provided
coverage to previously isolated rural areas
and strengthened the signal in urban areas.
Furthermore, it provided around 100 new
2G sites on the 900 MHz frequency band for
Transam using existing points of presence.
This network increases coverage in tourist
areas and on major routes.
GPON Network
In 2010, Entel launched an urban fiber optic
network based on GPON technology in order to
connect businesses to data, Internet and telephone services. In 2011, 459 km of fiber optic
cable was deployed, representing an investment
of around USD $10 million, with coverage in nine

Improved Customer Experience
Entel came first among 32 Ibero-American companies for providing the Best Customer Experience for 2011 in the mobile telephony category.
The company was recognized by the Ibero-American Association for Company-Customer Relations (AIAREC), on account of
the Best Customer Experience (BCX) study carried out by the
consultancy firm IZO for telecommunications companies in Brazil, Colombia, Spain, Mexico, Venezuela and Chile. The distinction
is the result of research that gathered more than 13,000 customer opinions on around 130 companies in different areas, considering experiences in terms of brand, products and services,
and interaction with distribution channels.
This will see Entel become the first Latin American company
to implement mobile supportware, a technology currently in
use by large world-class operators such as Vodafone.
Contact Center Modernization
In 2011, the company implemented a new Contact Center technology that provides it with greater control over calls and
records all calls so as to be able to analyze them at a later
date and make the required corrections to processes and people through specific coaching. This new technology also provides greater flexibility for the development of new centers and

New Service Strategy
Increased Market Presence
Entel reformulated its Contact Center strategy to strengthen
its leadership in service quality through the incorporation of
world-class best practices in handling telephone service. This
includes demand analysis and forecasting processes, human
resources and selection, having suitable profiles and in the required quantity, and supervision and coaching to ensure the
quality of service and continuous improvement. This will result
in greater accessibility and higher quality solutions that will in
turn deliver high levels of customer satisfaction.
In order to bring the company closer to its customers and increase its presence in commercial affairs, Entel periodically
held the successful Agent Fairs throughout the country in the
busiest streets of cities with the highest population densities.
These activities were geared around providing an informal and
intimate format to showcase smartphone equipment being
promoted, as well as its ease of use and convenience.
Similarly, and in order to create closer relationships through
our stores and the express channel, Entel held “E-days”, a service and sales initiative similar to the best practice in the retail
industry, whereby special solutions and promotions are offered to customers once a month.
Customer Satisfaction
Understanding our customers and increasing their satisfaction
are structural priorities of Entel’s management. Organizing
the business by market segment (Consumers, Enterprises, and
Corporations) has made it possible to build closer customer relationships and hence better meet their needs. One of the management indicators that measures performance across the company is the degree of customer satisfaction, whose monitoring
is undertaken on a monthly basis and which forms the basis of
continuous improvement in all areas that contribute to delivering global service to our customers.
In the Corporate Market, service quality is evaluated by means
of periodical satisfaction surveys covering the full value chain
of the various services provided by Entel, from the process for
detecting new business opportunities all the way through to the
operation and maintenance of products. In order to achieve evaluations that genuinely represent the perception of service qua-
lity, the company has a number of formats and levels of depth
for obtaining information from customers. These include telephone surveys and focus groups to study service experience.
A number of initiatives were implemented to consolidate the gap
between customer satisfaction levels at Entel and those of our
competitors, including those designed to redesign the customer
experience for the most important processes throughout the life
cycle, such as Technical Service and the Theft/Loss of equipment. These redesign seek to optimize customer experience as
part of a multichannel vision, given that today customers make
complementary use of all available channels when interacting
with the company: telephone (Contact Center and IVR), Entel and
Express stores, the web, department stores, account managers,
and agents.

In line with the global trend, mobile broadband is expected
to reach the same level of subscribers as fixed broadband in
2012. In addition to this, the progressive expansion of mobile
Internet and the increasing penetration of smartphones is also
highly significant both in Chile and beyond.

(in millions of subscribers)
Global Trends
The first great milestone in telecommunications history
was connecting people by means of a voice service; the
second step will entail the mass-adoption of data services.
Data connectivity dominates the outlook today: customers
require data connectivity across various devices (including
smartphones, tablets, computers, and cameras). The next trend
will be connecting things, or rather using existing technology,
to establish communication between devices, allowing them to
interact with and complement each other.

The superimposition of products and collaboration between the
telecommunications industry and other industries such as finance, health, advertising, entertainment, IT, transport, and safety, was notable in 2011. Major operators shifted their strategic
focus from connection and traditional services to vertical operations encompassing these industries. Health is a good example
of this trend: even if, at a mass-market level, the trend has been
centered around being able to download health applications on
smartphones and tablet devices that make it possible to monitor pulse or different stages of sleep, the trend is advancing
towards the interconnection of machinery and measurement
devices with central monitoring sites. It is a type of communication that will make it possible to offer alert and patient-hospital
interaction services, representing a considerable benefit that
can provide peace of mind to patients suffering from chronic
illnesses that need to be continuously monitored.
Furthermore, this type of connectivity will make it possible to
store and manage data from medical facilities with greater precision, facilitating access to patient files and histories.
Connected Cars
Market leaders in the automotive industry have already developed connectivity solutions and applications for the dashboards
of some of their models. In 2011 a number of brands made use
of this technology to offer customers remote safety services
which, in the event of a vehicle being stolen, made it possible to
block the car and indicate its location.
The idea is that in the near future, cars will be able to connect to
each other and interact with sensors located on roads.
The Phone as a Payment Method
The high penetration of mobile telephony and the growing use
of smartphones throughout the world have created a potential new use for these devices. In 2011, industry world leaders
such as Vodafone came together to launch the use of phones a
new payment method.
In doing so, it was promoted the acceleration of the development and entry of Near Field Communication (NFC), a shortrange, high-frequency, wireless communication technology
that makes it possible to exchange data between devices at
distances of less than 10 cm using compatible phones and
readers at sales points.
Following this trend, another major technology player developed a product that does not require a SIM card and, as such,
fits with the direct management model of banks or cards over
terminals. Mobile payments are expected to be launched in Europe and the United States in 2012.
Growth of Multi-Screen Services
This year took place the merger of content delivery in homes
and over mobile devices, with major international telecommunications providers incorporating multi-screen video services
into the range of services they offer, in addition to a series of
innovations designed to maintain customers within their packages in the home.
Online Information as a Reference for Making
Decisions Offline
The vision of the mobile platform as a marketing method that
allows companies direct access to customers was consolidated in 2011. The use of social networks by users to report their
satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the products they have
used and their favorite brands illustrated how the online platform can be an efficient and direct shop window. This makes it
easier for businesses to segment customers and be aware of
their customers using direct sources.
Customers were willing to share their content online, to
reward products that were environmentally responsible while
punishing others that were not, and to pay for the real value
they perceive even when items are available freely on the web.
Conscious of this change in customer behavior, Entel developed a strategy to allow it to secure its position among the most
followed brands on social networking platforms, according to
the Soy Digital study for 2011, carried out by the consultancy
firm Ayer Viernes.

Telecommunications services in Chile are governed by the
General Telecommunications Act (Act 18,168), and its complementary regulations. The legislation establishes the general
principle of free competition with concessions being awarded
based on pre-established and objective regulations, without limits on quantity, service type, and geographic location.
Public and intermediate telecommunications services that
need radio electric spectrum and which for technical reasons
only allow for participation of a limited number of companies
are subject to a public tender process in line with the terms
set out in the specific technical regulations. However, the conditions for awarding concessions are essentially related to the
duration and coverage of the service to be provided.
The interconnection of public and intermediate telecommunications services is mandatory and public tariffs are freely
fixed by the service provider, except where the Tribunal for the
Defense of Free Competition intervenes, such as in situations
where market conditions do not make it possible to guarantee
a free pricing regime. In the past, the tribunal has only subjected fixed telephony companies classified as dominant in certain geographic sectors to tariff regulations.
Authorities
The Department of Telecommunications is the authority
responsible for establishing and enforcing technical regulations,
promoting the development of the sector, and allocating
concessions for the use of the radio electric spectrum through
public tenders when there are limitations on the quantity of
frequencies. Responsibility for the respective tariff decrees falls
jointly to the Ministry for the Economy, Growth and Reconstruction,
and the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications. The
Tribunal for the Defense of Free Competition must ensure the
competitiveness of the sector, identify monopoly situations
that require the establishment of tariffs for legally mandated
services, issue judgments on company mergers in the sector,
and prevent or sanction behavior that harms free competition.
Termination Rates
Current legislation makes provisions for the authority
to regulate the tariffs of services provided through
interconnections between concession holders every five
years by means of a regulated technical and economic
process in line with the criteria established by the General
Telecommunications Act. Of these tariffs, the connection
charge corresponds to payments for use of networks of
different concession holders and applies to any operator,
regardless of whether they are a long-distance operator
accessing a network to originate or terminate a call, or a
fixed/mobile concession holder accessing another network to
terminate a communication.
The current tariff decrees for mobile companies established
by the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications came
into force on January 24, 2009 and will run until 2014, meaning
that towards the end of 2012, the process for determining the
new tariffs for the following five year period will begin. The
tariffs set out in this legislation only apply to charges provided
through interconnections services for which charges are made
between telecommunications companies.
Long-Distance Reforms
Towards the end of 2010, the primary zones for long-distance
national communications were restructured, reducing the
number of zones from 24 to 13 from October 2011. This is the
first stage of a legal change that will eventually see the longdistance national category eliminated altogether, 37 months
from enactment of the legislation (subject to a favorable report
from the Tribunal for the Defense of Free Competition). As

such, from this date, fixed local telephony will operate in the
same way as mobile telephony (i.e. without the requirement
to use a carrier for calls between different geographic regions
of the country).
Network Neutrality
The concept of network neutrality came into effect in the second half of 2011 as a result of an amendment to the General
Telecommunications Act (2010) requiring companies that provide Internet access to make more information available on
their websites and undertake quarterly monitoring of technical
service indicators to allow users to make comparisons between different providers and make informed decisions.
Number Portability
The fixed number portability program was launched in Arica on December 5, 2011, and will be progressively rolled out
across the country in line with Act 20,471, giving users the
right to keep their number when switching companies. Mobile
number portability will be rolled out simultaneously across the
country from January 16, 2012.

such as hospitals, schools, nursing homes, and nurseries.
This legal initiative will incentivize adapting towers to the urban
and architectural environment of their site, the installation
of smaller antennas, as well as shared infrastructure or colocation, carbon mitigation measures, and compensation to
preserve the extra value of districts with tax incentives.
The construction of antenna support towers and radiating
systems for telecommunications 12 m or higher requires
planning permission from the appropriate public works
department, with a requirement to inform neighbors 30 days
in advance by means of a letter certified in front of a notary
containing the plans for the development to allow neighbors to
express their opinions and take part in the process.
4G Services
In December 2011, the Department of Telecommunications
launched the public tender process for 2,600 MHz spectrum,
which will permit the deployment of 4G or LTE networks
throughout the country, providing a considerable increase in
the browsing speeds of mobile devices.
Antenna Act
Following 10 years of debate in Congress, the
Telecommunications Antenna Act was approved by the Senate
on January 11, 2012. In terms of health, it stipulates that the
regulations for controlling emissions are to be established
as part of the Environmental Act and in line with the
recommendations of the World Health Organization, setting a
level that must be equally rigorous or more so than the average
of the five OECD countries with the strictest standards in this
area. The new law will also establish stricter conditions for
the construction of new telecommunications towers, alongside

In 2011, Entel’s active customer base for mobile telephony
grew to 9,347,434 users, an increase of 24% with respect to
the previous year, representing a market share of around 39%
(three percentage points higher than in 2010).
Around 89% of these customers are serviced by the Consumers Market Division.
Through innovation, service quality, and providing best telecommunications network in the country, Entel meets the challenges of this demanding market, whose underlying characteristic is a requirement to provide services to customers who
are increasingly adept at using new technologies and make
continuous usage of the Internet and multiple connection devices.
In line with its objectives, Entel increased the proportion of
postpaid clients to 30% of its total subscriber base. Similarly,
there was strong growth in the number of customers with
smartphone handsets.
In 2011, the company has focused its efforts on capturing
customers with multimedia plans, obtaining an increase of 10
percentage points in its market penetration for the postpaid
base of the Consumers Segment.
The postpaid voice segment grew 17% in 2011, largely driven
by an increased share in the capture of gross sales and migrations from prepaid to postpaid.
During the last year, Entel has made a special effort to expand
its brand to all socio-economic segments, targeting C3 and
D groups by means of marketing events and neighborhoods
sales (E-Days), and the installation of stores for three or four
days in areas of high public concurency (Entel Fairs).
The company has also focused on increasing customer loyalty
by promoting the Entel Zone, relaunched as our own customer
club in July 2010. The strategic objectives for the club in 2011
were to optimize the transparency of member segmentation,
to recognize customer purchase patterns and how long they
remain with the company, and make use of the club as a channel to secure customers.
As of December 31, 2011, the Entel Zone had approximately 5
million members.

Online Department
Channels Development
In order to secure Entel’s position as a leading and innovative
brand in online media and the national leader in e-commerce
and e-care, the company created an Online Department reporting to the Consumers Market, although it is also available to
the Enterprises and Corporates divisions.
In 2011, Entel continued expanding its customer sales and service channels with the launch of new Entel Express stores, a
franchise format that creates the potential for fast and efficient
growth while ensuring high levels of service, with these points
of sale making it possible for customers to carry out common
operations (equipment purchase, exchange, and repair) in just
a few minutes.
This new department also has responsibility for providing customers with excellent online service through the leading website in the industry, which provides the best user experience
throughout the full customer life cycle, facilitates knowledge
and the purchase of additional products and services, and promotes strengthening usage.
In recognition of this strategy and its digital media activities, in
2011 Entel was awarded the IAB Chile (Interactive Advertising
Bureau) prize for Best Advertiser of the Year, as well as a number of other acknowledgements.
At the close of the year, the company had 75 Entel Express stores and 57 of its own stores, where it also helps customers to
optimize their plans and provides post-sales service and contracts changes.
The call center was also an important channel during 2011 and
was used to carry out successful sales campaigns and contributed to high levels of service, principally through the technical support desks, such as the BlackBerry Telephone Service
Center.
The activities carried out by the department include El Crack,
the first web series made in Chile, whose success on online
media led to it being broadcast on public television as a telefilm.
Activity for the distributors, department stores, and wholesalers channel grew during the year, driven by new products
associated with mobile broadband.
Similarly, in the context of number portability, the department
developed a mini-site to provide portability instructions delivered by the two characters Professor Rosa and Guru Guru, who
subsequently became icons for portability in Chile.
In addition to all these channels, in 2011, the company launched Entel Fairs, an innovative method of capturing new customers through a sales format with limited days in areas with a
high public concurrency.
In terms of social networking, Entel has consolidated its position as the preferred brand among Chileans (Source: Soy
Digital study, 2011), with activities ranging from customer service to the promotion of product services and events, activities
that have been responsible for the significant increase in the
number of our Twitter and Facebook followers (over 240% and
100%, respectively), leading the industry in terms of the number of followers on the latter platform.
Innovations 2011
The new products and services launched for the Consumers Segment by Entel included:
A service that makes it possible to synchronize, backup, and recover contacts and content stored on a customer’s mobile phone

The Enterprise Segment provides a wide range of solutions
to satisfy the communications requirements of independent
professionals at small- and medium-sized businesses, as well
as large companies. In 2011, its customer base increased to
almost 100,000 companies.
The year was notable for the development of special projects
for the County of Viña del Mar, where an MPLS network with
57 public and private telephony sites covering 1,500 users,
and Internet was installed. In the Municipality of María Elena,
the LAN network was extended across 12 sites using dark fiber, providing telephony to 150 subscribers, alongside secure
Internet, and Wi-Fi. Major projects were also undertaken for
MIMET, ACB Ingeniería, and TJC Chile, involving the implementation of MPLS networks, Internet access, and telephony, together with the provision of other IT services.
During the period, one of the main achievements for the SME
segment was the launch of multimedia plans, a new product
that shifts the traditional focus from voice plans to a vision
satisfying the mobility requirements of companies, connecting
them to the Internet via mobile devices 100% of the time, regardless of location, as well as mobile productivity tools such
as e-mail, information, and GPS maps.
In terms of image, intensive work was carried out to force closer relationships in the segment through active participation in
some of the main SME events and conferences. Effort was also
made to raise awareness of the wide range of fixed and mobile solutions, previously only accessible to large companies,
and which are now accessible to smaller ones. All this was
accompanied by a painstaking revision of our processes and
structures to ensure our key priority of providing the customer
with an excellent experience.

Business Areas
The revenue structure of the Corporate Segment is composed
of three main business areas: mobile services, wireline
services, and IT services. Market share for each of these
services in terms of total revenue for the segment is 32%, 46%,
and 22%, respectively.
Finally, IT services grew by 13%. The strong performance of
the IT outsourcing business and the considerable increase in
data center service sales were offset by a fall in equipment
sales.
In 2011, revenue from the Corporate Segment rose by 23%
with respect to 2010. Half of this growth came from a change
in segmentation criteria, which resulted in an increase in the
Corporate customer base; the other half of this growth was a
result of the strong performance of all its business areas.
Customers
Revenue from mobile services grew by 36% in 2011. Even if
there was strong growth in voice and Value Added Services,
it should also be noted that mobile Internet and blackberry
services grew by 60%, with a strong increase in penetration
above voice areas.
The wireline business grew by 18%, largely as a result of the
strong performance of data services. The remainder of the
wireline business, mainly long distance and local telephony,
followed the market trend.
Entel’s customers in the Corporate Market are characterized
by their requirement for specific, individual, and specialized
solutions, both in terms of technologies and services, since
these are largely responsible for supporting the strategic
processes of their operations.
There are around 600 conglomerates or large companies in
Chile, representing around 80% of total expenditure on ITC
services.
Entel provides various services, such as mobile, fixed, and IT
services, to around 50% of these conglomerates. Due to the
scope and depth of the services provided to these customers,
the company has adopted an integrated approach.

Data and IT Services
Long Distance
The greatest sales in this area were for data and IT services,
with revenue of CLP $110,346 million, representing an increase
of 9% with respect to 2010. This reflects the solid position in
data services and the strong market position as a provider of
data center and technology integration services.
Entel’s revenue from long-distance services totaled
CLP $30,875 million, representing a decrease of 9% with
respect to the previous year, as a result of lower traffic activity
and a decline in domestic tariffs, partly due to the reduction in
the number of primary zones.

The dividend policy, approved by the Board of Directors and
communicated at the Ordinary General Shareholders Meeting
on April 26, 2011 is as follows:
The policies for the determination of the liquid distributable
profit for the handling of adjustments for the initial application
of IFRS for the 2009 financial year are maintained as follows:
Dividend policy
a.- As policy to determine the liquid distributable profit for the
financial year, it was agreed to consider the net effect, taking
into account positive and negative variations from changes in
the fair value of assets and liabilities.
In accordance with the regulations set out by the Chilean Securities and Insurance Supervisor, the board of directors must
approve the company’s dividend policy for future years.
For 2011 and subsequent years the board intends to keep a
stable dividend policy and proposes to distribute up to 80%
of the profits earned during each financial year as a dividend
and also, where applicable, to capitalize part of these profits
accrued at the end of each period. It is proposed to pay the final
dividend on or before 31 May of each year. The intention is to
pay an interim dividend in the final quarter of 2011 with the value of this payment to be based on the company’s performance
during the first three quarters of this period.
In the event of a net positive effect (profit), this will be deducted
from the financial profit in order to calculate the liquid distributable profit.
In the event of a negative effect (loss), this will not be added
to the distributable liquid profit. It is expressly stated that this
policy relates to adjustments for the purpose of financial derivative contracts, since at the date of writing, the company
has no recorded assets or liabilities subject to adjustment to
market values as per IFRS.
In determining the percentage of profit and the dates on which
proposed final dividends will be paid, the company seeks to
ensure financial stability while adhering to the established distribution policy. In particular, specific attention has been paid
to safeguards in terms of debt, liquidity, and finance budgeting, and possible covenants that may arise in public supply
contracts and credit agreements entered into by the company.
b.- As policy for handling adjustments for the first-time adoption of IFRS, losses incurred for the first-time adoption of IFRS
will be managed in an equity account. As such, it has been decided not to absorb them by decreasing paid-in capital.
At all times, the board’s intended dividend payments depend
on the results and investment requirements as stated in the
forecasts made regularly by the company.
It is also noted that the policy was communicated to the Chilean
Securities and Insurance Supervisor in a timely manner and that
However, a decision may be taken to absorb this balance by
allocating it against profits for future financial years.
115
Report 2011
:)
it has been acknowledged at the meeting in line with the provisions of Circular 1945 of the Securities and Insurance Supervisor.
Report 2011
116
This policy will regulate future financial years in the above
manner.
Dividend Payment Procedure
Upon written request from any shareholder, dividends will be
deposited in the shareholder’s current or savings account on the
date established for payment. To do so, the shareholder must
communicate the name of the bank, the branch or office, and
the number of their current or savings account at least 24 hours
before the close of the register. The shareholder will remain
bound by this payment method unless written instructions to
the contrary are received.
In addition to this, and in line with shareholders’ wishes, they
must also communicate any requirement for the dividend to be
paid via check in their name and dispatched by recorded post at
least 24 hours before the close of the register.
The company will provide shareholders with forms, available
upon request, to allow them to select one of the established
payment methods.
For shareholders who have not selected one of the
aforementioned payment methods, dividends will be paid
at a bank in Chile’s Metropolitan Region, as selected by the
company, or at the address indicated in the notification referred
to below. Dividends that have not been collected within 60 days
of the due date, will remain available in the at the offices of the
administrator of the register of shareholders.
Parties who wish to withdraw their dividends from a commercial
bank or the from the company’s designated offices, must do
so in person or by a legally authorized representative with the
relevant powers, as stipulated in public law or a private contract
legalized by a public notary. For the latter, either the original
document or a duly certified photocopy should be left with the
company.
The payment of dividends will be communicated through a
national newspaper as chosen at the general shareholders
meeting.
}
The objective of the business is to maximize return on equity
through the analysis, construction, and operation of telecommunications and IT systems and the provision of related services both in Chile and abroad. To ensure compliance with this objective, the company makes investments to meet the demands
of its customers and users as a way of maintaining efficiency,
both technically and financially, and at levels conducive to supporting the maintenance of its facilities and the development of
its operations to ensure they meet the needs of Chile’s telecommunications sector. Consequently, the company will ensure its
investments have a stable rate of return over time and that this
is at least equal to the capital cost of their financing structure.
In 2011, in line with the investment and finance budgets, annual
investment in fixed assets for a value that does not exceed the
debt ratio permitted by the finance policy was authorized. The
investments correspond to company projects both within the
country and abroad.
In line with the rules approved at the general shareholders
meeting, the board must provide details of specific investments
to be made by the company in companies, works, and studies.
Essentially, the values of these investments will depend on the
programs to be undertaken throughout the calendar year.
The company will be authorized to make contributions to subsidiaries and associates within the of this policy.
In order to maximize yields from cash surpluses, the company
will invest in financial assets and/or market securities, in line
with the portfolio selection and diversification criteria. These
criteria will take into consideration liquidity, security, and profitability factors.

The company’s financing policy primarily involves the following resources:

*Supplier credit
*Loans from banks and financial institutions
*Deferred customs duties
*Offer of public and private bonds
*Leasing and leaseback
The policy sets a maximum debt level based on the greater of:
(Current Liabilities) / (Equity plus Minority Interest), equal to
1.5 (one point five); or (Current Liabilities / EBITDA for last 12
months), equal to 3.0 (three point zero). The current liabilities
will be considered net of financial investments for this purpose.
This level is justified taking into account the changes for IFRS
applied since 2009 and because it allows flexibility in the
management of finances, as well as the development of new
telecommunications projects both in Chile and abroad.
It should be remembered that the company management
cannot agree to specific dividend restrictions with creditors
or grant guarantees of any nature to third parties or other
companies or enterprises that are not affiliates or associates.
(
Additionally, all assets held by the company used for the
operation of national public service contracts that are owned
by Entel and are essential in the provision of its services
are classified as essential to the company’s operations.
Such assets, however, may be changed or replaced, if they
become technically or financially obsolete; they may also be
transferred in the event that they are no longer necessary to
provide a service.
The consolidated income statements for the 2011 financial
year show a profit of CLP $180,766,658,842.
For the purposes of determining the liquid distributable profit
to be considered in the calculation of the minimum compulsory and supplementary dividend, the company has established
a policy of deducting profits originating from the adjustment
of assets and liabilities to fair value while these have still not
been undertaken.
In line with this policy, during the previous financial year,
CLP $885,992,024 was deducted for unrealized profits; in
2011, CLP $434,369,663 of these profits materialized, a value
that must be reinstated to determine the profit to be distributed for 2011. Consequently, the liquid distributable profit for
the 2011 financial year is CLP $181,201,028,505.
An interim dividend of CLP $150 per share, equivalent to a total of CLP $35.478.554.250 was allocated against these profits,
payable on December 12, 2011. The dividend was agreed at the
meeting of the company’s board of directors that took place on
November 7, 2011 and represents 19.58 % of liquid distributable profits for the financial year.
Profits are not subject to any other deductions for distribution.

The maturity of the first installment of the syndicated loan for
USD $200,000,000 in June 2012, together with the associated
short-term accounting requirement and impact on liquidity indicators, made it favorable for Entel to enter the debt markets
during the financial year.
To increase financing options and sources, the company signed
two series of local bonds with the Chilean Securities and Insurance Supervisor in August for a total value of UF 5 million, with
three series in UF and CLP being registered for each. The three
current registers have a joint limit of UF 5 million and an expiry
date for the payment of capital of between 5 and 21 years. The
bonds may be placed on the market within 36 months following registration. After evaluating the market and the various options, a decision was taken to postpone the placement of these
securities and give priority to bank finance instead. In November,
a loan was structured on the international debt market and full
payment of the facility was obtained in December from TokioMitsubishi and Scotiabank. This is a three-year loan with a single
amortization in 2014 and was used for the advanced payment of
the full amortization installment of the current syndicated loan
of equal value, which has remaining amortizations of equal value
in 2013 and 2014. The financial conditions of this new loan were
attractive when compared with similar placements during the
year, both in the local bond market and in bank loans provided by
financial institutions in Chile. As a result of the above, the company’s debt structure remained long-term at the end of the year.
In short-term financial activities, occasional use was made of
overdrafts and commercial bills to finance temporary cash deficits. In October, the final payment was made for the purchase of
Transam, bringing the total for the year to CLP $3,564,609,540, in
addition to the payment made in 2010.
Similarly, the financing requirements arising from the investment in the new company headquarters in Parque Titanium were covered from our own resources and totaled
CLP $10,094,608,084 for the year.
In March, advanced payments were made for loans of the acquired company, Transam, as well as for the costs of rescinding
associated derivatives.
During the year, Entel continued its strategy of contracting derivative contracts that cover its full net exposure to exchange
rate fluctuations arising from debt liabilities in dollars and obligations to pay suppliers in foreign currencies. This has been
balanced by structuring forwards, options, and cross currency
swaps. The latter have also partly covered the risks associated
with fluctuations in the Libo interest rates upon which international credit is based.
With respect to exchange rate hedges provided by forward contracts, the Group has retained an average purchase portfolio of
approximately USD $360 million with a range of terms based on
the best rate prevailing at the close.
Cash surplus balances continued to be invested in line with a
strict investment policy and risk classification for issuers.

The Risk of Technological Change
Regulatory Risks
Changes in telecommunications technology make it necessary
to continuously review investment plans to ensure that met
our goal of responding to changes in connectivity requirements adopted by markets. Changes in technology can arise
from both modifications in demand patterns and the development of new forms of communication associated with applications and speeds. The periods of obsolescence for investments
in new technology may be less than those estimated when the
investment is made, meaning that the initial estimates of expected profitability may not be met.
Regulation plays an important role in the telecommunications
industry. Stable regulations and criteria allow for the suitable
evaluation of projects and the reduction of the risk inherent
in investments, although this means it is important to closely
monitor regulatory changes. In this respect, 2011 saw the implementation of the various regulatory directives published at
the end of 2010.
This makes the risk of technological change an inherent part
of the industry in which Entel operates and the company’s position at the cutting edge of technological development means
it is essential that it actively manages technological risk for it
to maintain this position and remain competitive.
Accordingly, Entel has an active and continuous policy of adopting cutting-edge technology as a strategic part of its growth
and development, although always subject to a continuous review of its profitability. This has allowed Entel to position itself
at the forefront of technology, adapting to the use of new technologies and making the transition from offering a single
product to becoming an integrated connectivity provider and
constantly offering new ways of doing business. The appearance and development of new technologies has enabled Entel
to grow, integrate, and diversify, reducing its exposure to individual business areas and segments.
In January 2011, the Entel Phone tariff process to fix access
charges and the costs of other facilities provided to other telecommunications concession holders was completed and will
run for five years from this date. However, at the end of 2011,
the decree was still being processed and will be applied retrospectively from January 2011 when it is finalized and published.
The introduction of network neutrality into the General Telecommunications Act, the main function of which is to establish
requirements to provide users with better information, will
affect the market by making it possible to compare different
operators and make better informed decisions as a result of
the new information. In 2011, the initiative was complemented
by a regulation requiring companies providing Internet access
to make certain information available on their websites and
undertake quarterly measurements of technical indicators for
services providing access to the Internet. The regulation is already in operation and its first impact will be felt during the
coming year, with the publication of the figures for the technical indicators.
In addition to this, the company has continued to pay attention
to the telecommunications convergence process promoted by
the new government through initiatives seeking to increase the
diversity of uses of the radio electric spectrum for telecommunications services. This is in addition to communications from
the industry regulator regarding new spectrum to be tendered
in the medium term. This is of fundamental importance for the
expansion of the company’s operations and in December 2011,
the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications published
the call to tender for spectrum on the 2,600 MHz band, used in
the majority of countries for the development of LTE technology (Long Term Evolution or 4G).
In addition to this, in line with legal modifications made at
the end of 2010, in 2011, the first steps were taken in the implementation of number portability, taking effect throughout
the country from January 16, 2012, and allowing subscribers from different fixed and mobile telephone companies to
switch supplier while keeping the same number. In the first
phase, changes are only possible between companies operating within an equivalent network (e.g. from one mobile line to
another). This new competitive scenario was initially launched
in Arica’s primary fixed telephony zone in December 2011. It
was then followed by mobile telephone services (national) on
January 16, 2012, and fixed telephone services for the Metropolitan Region in March, after which point it will be progressively rolled-out to incorporate new primary zones. The intention is that the gradual implementation of the system for the
wireline network will be complete on a national scale during
the second quarter of 2012.
There is also currently an investigation under taken by the Tribunal for the Defense of Free Competition to review telephone
services tariffs for on-net calls, the provision of telecommunications services in bundles products is also being analyzed.
In this process, presentations are already being made by all
stakeholders, and the tribunal is considering the information
in order to issue a resolution with respect to the material.
Similarly, during 2011, and following a number of years of
processing, the legislative debate in congress to regulate the
installation of antennae for the emission and transmission
of telecommunications services was completed. In its legislative process, the mixed commission approved a bill of law
with favorable votes in both chambers at the start of January
for subsequent enactment and publication in the official gazette, subject to procedures by the constitutional court for its
constitutional organic regulations. This initiative regulates the
installation of antennas in order to tackle the impact of developments on the urban environment through stricter requirements at a municipal level, as well as the regulation of other
aspects relating to the installation of antennas, such as colocation, and compensation for those living nearby in certain
areas, something which may have an impact on the development of telecommunications networks and imply additional
investments.
All these regulatory changes being introduced by the authority
provide new business opportunities. Additionally, the diversity
and relative size of Entel cushion it from the effects of adverse or inadequate regulation, reducing the risk created for its
operations, cash flows, wealth creation for shareholders, and
contribution to the community. However, within a regulated
industry such as that in which Entel operates, changes in regulations or in the policies of legal and regulatory authorities
cannot be ruled out and have the potential to impact negatively
upon the results of the company or restrict its possibility for
growth.
Exchange Rate Risks
Entel’s financing is largely in foreign currency. Furthermore, a
proportion of Entel’s suppliers permanently generate obligations for foreign currency payments. Both represent liabilities
whose value changes on a daily basis as a result of exchange
rate fluctuations. As a result of this, Entel takes out short- and
long-term contracts in foreign currency assets (hedge derivatives) to protect against such variations and thus eliminate risk
from exchange rate fluctuations.
123
Report 2011
In the national long-distance business, the number of primary
geographical areas defined for national communications was
reduced from 24 to 13 in October 2011. It is estimated that this
legal modification will have no significant effects, however, the
regulations stipulate that 37 months after the law has come
into force (i.e. the second half of 2014), and subject to a favorable report from the Tribunal for the Defense of Free Competition, the national long -distance category will be eliminated. As
such, from this date, fixed local telephone services will operate
in the same way as mobile telephone services, without a requirement to use a carrier for calls between different geographical areas within the country.
Interest Rate Risks
The company’s policy partially covers risks from interest rate
fluctuations and has contracted the corresponding financial
instruments to comply with it. The proportions of variable-rate
debt exposed to fluctuations in the estimated rate behave in
a manner sufficiently similar to business assets and reflects
EBITDA generated during each financial year.
As of December 31, 2011, the Group had credits in foreign currency to the value of USD $600 million, accruing interest based on the variable Libo rate and impacting on financial expenses in the income statements. In order to mitigate the effects
of these variations, the management takes out financial contracts for rate derivatives (Cross Currency Swap), hence fixing
a significant proportion of the interest paid.
124
When there is a rise in the Libo base rate according to market forecasts, the Group’s annual financing costs increase,
although they are still within the limits established by the
management and the financial safeguards guaranteed to its
creditors.
Report 2011
Credit risk
Credit risk derived from the balances of accounts held with
banks, financial instruments, negotiable stocks, and derivatives is managed by the Finance Division in line with investment
capital policies. These policies ensure the diversification of
risk by means of pre-established limits for the duration of the
placement, percentage by institution, and the risk of instruments in which cash surpluses are invested. The investment
instruments approved for use are those issued by the Central
Bank of Chile or banking subsidiaries with high risk ratings.
Investments may be denominated in the national currency or
the main foreign currencies.
Risk exposure associated with the recovery of accounts receivable originating from business operations is derived from the
terms of payment that must be offered as a result of the nature of the telecommunications industry to direct customers,
intermediaries, and other national and international operators
with whom reciprocal connection agreements are held.
Risk management for accounts receivable is designed to minimize exposure, insofar as possible given market conditions.
Risk management processes are differentiated according to
debtors’ profiles in line with segmented portfolio controls:
these include consumers, enterprises, corporations, telecommunications companies, correspondence, distributors, large
retailers, and other channels for the distribution of goods and
services.
For each segment, there are prospective and predictive models that make it possible to devise policies depending on
the origin of the debt. These range from the prepaid services
used for the highest risk customer/product combinations, all
the way to the establishment of credit limits, with and without
collateral guarantees, credit insurance, and other alternatives,
evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Liquidity Risk
In terms of providing the required liquidity to meet financial obligations in a timely manner, Entel pays future expiries in advance,
seeking options on the market that can provide funds in a timely
manner. As such, during 2011, the amortization installment of the
syndicated loan due in June 2012 was paid in advance, thus avoiding the potential risks of the debt market around the due date.

Merger by Absorption of GTD
1°.- Acknowledge the communication by the CEO of Almendral
S.A., which, as a material event, will refer the company to the
Chilean Securities and Insurance Supervisor, reporting that
Juan Manuel Casanueva Préndez, representative and controller of Inmobiliaria e Inversiones El Coigüe Limitada (Coigüe),
which controls GTD Grupo Teleductos S.A. (GTD), retracts
its commitment to comply with the Memorandum of Intent
signed between Inversiones Altel Limitada, subsidiary of Almendral Telecomunicaciones S.A. and controller of Entel S.A.,
and Coigüe, through a private instrument dated November 28,
2011, reported as a material event on the same date, and its
extension, reported as a material event on December 23, 2011.
Consequently Almendral Telecomunicaciones S.A. reports as
a material event that the merger between Entel S.A. and GTD
will not go ahead as previously reported to the market, exclusively due to the unilateral retraction of Juan Manuel Casanueva Préndez, representative and controller of GTD
2°.- Classify the information received from Almendral S.A. as
a material event, authorizing the CEO to communicate it in this
manner to the respective organizations without affecting the
requirement to notify the National Economic Prosecutor and
the Tribunal for the Defense of Free Competition, aware of the
possible merger in uncontested proceedings.
insuranCe
commitmeNts_
Entel has insurance contracts for all its companies to cover
possible events that might affect its assets, equity, and cash
flow by causes losses or reductions in value.
In addition to this, the strategy for contracting insurance
policies attempts to cover, insofar as possible, risks that would
conduct to significant losses while excluding certain minor
risks with minimal financial impact in order to balance low
premium costs with high risk coverage.
131
Report 2011
The contracts for the various insurance policies are based on
a previously defined policy which places special emphasis
on events whose occurrence could have a strong impact
on the economic and financial position of the Group and its
relationships to third parties; the latter as a result of damages
caused accidentally as a result of the activities of the various
businesses.
(*)
The main policies, covered in the Entel insurance program are:
a) Physical Risks to Assets and Losses Arising from
Stoppages. This insures against all risks to all the assets
owned by Group companies and the loss of net income
resulting from potential stoppages caused by sinister.
Report 2011
132
b) Civil Liability. This covers group companies against potential
pecuniary demands for damage caused to third parties or their
assets while carrying out business activities whether at their
facilities, in public areas, or in third-party premises.
c) Directors and Officers Liability (D&O). This protects
directors and executives of Group companies from claims
that may be made against them by third parties, aiming to
compensate for losses to their equity as a result of decisions
taken by others.
d) International Transport. Protects against possible damages
to equipment and material imported by land, sea, and air
transportation.
e) Credit. Protects against possible net losses or deteriorations
in Entel’s net equity as a result of third parties failing to comply
with obligations contracted in funds originating from credit
sales.
f) Miscellaneous. Insurance for vehicles, mobile equipment,
travel, personal accidents, health and life for company staff,
shipping, etc.
g) Insurance program for contractors (OCIP). Provides civil
responsibility and personal accident coverage for contractors
and subcontractors of Group companies to protect the equity
of contractors and their workers.
Insurance Settlement for Property and Damages Due to
Stoppage for the Earthquake on February 27, 2010.
The earthquake that occurred on February 27, 2010, had a
significant effect on the policy for physical assets and losses
arising from stoppages. The event caused material damages
to more than one thousand of the company’s network sites
located between the V and VIII regions in the country, in
addition to damage caused to equipment in storage and a
number of buildings. Together these damages represented
losses in the region of UF 1 million, which was covered by the
policy in force at the time of the event with the RSA insurance
group, coinsured by Chartis.
The settlement for this event was the responsibility of the
insurance loss adjuster Juan Pablo Valdivieso y Asociados, who
provided the definitive settlement for the event on December
30, 2011, which totaled UF 818,102.

These activities are primarily undertaken in Chile. Activities outside of Chile are carried out by two companies operating in Peru that provide wireline services and
call center services.
2. BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
a) Declaration of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements, dated December 31, 2011, have been prepared in line with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) published
by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
On the date on which these consolidated financial statements were published, the IASB had issued the following directives, each with mandatory adoption starting
from the annual periods indicated for each case:

a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the initial period in which their application becomes compulsory.
The consolidated financial statements for Entel Chile S.A. for the year ending December 31, 2011, were approved and authorized for publication at the board meeting held on January 30, 2012.
Report 2011
IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements
b) Measurement Bases
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on historical cost, except for the following essential items in the balance sheet:
_Derivative financial instruments measured at fair value
_Interest accruing loans measured using amortized cost
_Staff obligations for specific post-employment benefits measured at present value and taking into account actuarial variables.
c) Working and Reporting Currency
Figures in these financial statements and accompanying notes are expressed in thousands of Chilean Pesos (Th.CLP), the Group’s working currency.
d) Use of Estimates and Accounting Judgments
Estimates determined based on the best information available at the close of each financial year have been used in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements. The estimates affect the valuation of certain assets, liabilities, incomes, and cash flows, and hence there may be significantly affected when new events
result in variations to any assumptions made and other sources of uncertainty assumed on the date.
146
The main estimates are:
Report 2011
_Actuarial assumptions considered when calculating employee separation obligations
_The valuation of assets and goodwill originating from the acquisition of companies that can affect the determination of losses due to impairment in their value.
_The useful life of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets.
_Assumptions made when determining the fair value of financial instruments.
_Assumptions regarding the generation of future taxable revenue, whose tax would be deductible from assets as deferred tax.
_In establishing the cost of decommissioning installations.
e) Changes to Accounting Policies
Accounting principles have been consistently applied throughout the course of the financial years covered by these consolidated financial statements.
3. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Consolidation Bases
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control starts until the date it ends.
Control exists when Entel S.A., has a direct or indirect majority of voting rights or has the power to determine (also through agreements) the financial and operating
policies of a company to derive profit from its activities.
In the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the assets, liabilities, revenues, and costs for the consolidated companies are consolidated line for
line. All direct and indirect subsidiaries of Entel S.A. are 100% controlled and as such there are no non-controlling shares in the consolidated financial statements
of the Entel Group.
For consolidation purposes, significant transactions and balances between consolidated companies have been removed in addition to any balances owed.
The book value of the investment in each subsidiary is offset against its equity, after adjustment to its fair value on the date control was acquired (where applicable). Goodwill from intangible assets is recorded on this date, as described further on, while any earnings from the purchase of a business or negative goodwill are
recorded in the comprehensive income statement.
The assets and liabilities of consolidated foreign subsidiaries expressed in currencies other than Chilean Pesos are converted using the exchange rate on the date of
the statement; revenue and costs are converted at the average exchange rate for the period covered by the financial statements. Exchange rate variations resulting
from this method are classified under equity until disposal of the investment.
147
The subsidiary companies included in the consolidated financial statements are domiciled in Chile and abroad:

The subsidiary Cientec Computación S.A. was taken over by Entel S.A. on August 1, 2011 by means of a merger by absorption that included the totality of all assets,
liabilities, rights, and obligations, and as such did not cause changes in equity at Group level. Similarly, the merger has not had any impact on consolidated income
and cash flow.
b) Transactions and Balances in Foreign Currencies
Transactions made by Entel S.A. and its subsidiaries in a different currency than their working currency are treated as foreign currency transactions and recorded
using the exchange rate on the date of the transaction.
The balances of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are presented using the values of the exchange rates at the end of each financial
year. The variation calculated between the original value and the value at the end of the period is allocated to income under Foreign Currency Translation.
Assets and liabilities that should be expressed at fair value (essentially those arising from derivative financial contracts) are exempt from the above. The differences
between the exchange rate at the end of the period and the fair value of these contracts are also allocated against income under Foreign Currency Translation, except
for cash flow hedge contracts whose differences are allocated against equity.
b) Transactions and Balances in Foreign Currencies, Continued
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies or expressed in currency indexes have been converted using the following rates:

c) Financial Instruments
For valuation purposes, the group classifies its financial assets under the following categories: financial assets at fair value with changes in income; accounts receivable; and loans. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets are obtained.
The assets are dropped upon their expiry or upon expiry of contractual rights to their cash flows.
_Financial Assets at Fair Value with Changes in Income
Financial assets at fair value with changes in income are financial assets held for trading. The Group companies use this category for derivative instruments that
do not comply with the requirements for the application of hedge accounting. Contracts classified as assets at the end of the period are presented on the balance
sheet under Other Financial Assets, whereas liabilities are presented under Other Financial Liabilities.
_Accounts Receivable and Loans
These correspond to financial assets with fixed determinable payments that do not have a price on the active market. These assets are initially recorded at fair
value plus directly attributable transaction costs. After being recorded in this way, they are valued at their amortized cost using the effective interest rate method,
subtracting losses from impairment.
Commercial accounts receivable are registered using invoice values and making the corresponding adjustment where there is evidence that payment from the
client is at risk (impairment).
Short-term commercial accounts are recorded at current value without discounting to present value. The company has determined that the amortized cost calculation does not differ from the invoice value since the transaction does not have significant associated costs.
_Cash and Cash Equivalents
Covers highly liquid and extremely short-term holdings or investments where the risks of a change in value are not deemed significant. In addition to cash balances
and those held in current accounts it also includes the following: short-term deposits in the financial market; placements for fixed income mutual funds paid in
149
Report 2011
Financial Assets
installments; and operations with buyback and resale options with an original expiry of three months or less. These assets are recorded at their nominal value or
amortized cost, depending on their nature, and recording changes in their values under income. Their valuation includes interest and accrued adjustments at the
end of the financial year.
Financial Liabilities
In the first instance, the Group records issued debt securities on the date they originate. All other financial liabilities (including liabilities at fair value with changes
in income) are initially recorded on the date contracted, this being the date on which the Group becomes related by the instrument’s contractual provisions.
The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities under Other Financial Liabilities. These assets are initially recorded at fair value plus any directly attributable
transaction costs. After this initial recording, financial liabilities are valued at their amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Other financial liabilities include loans and obligations, the use of overdraft facilities, and commercial accounts payable and others.
Financial liabilities covered by derivative instruments designated for managing exposure to variations in cash flows (cash flow hedges), are measured at their
amortized cost in line with IAS 39.
Derivatives financial instruments
Report 2011
150
The Entel Group contracts derivative financial instruments to cover its exposure to foreign currencies and interest rates.
In the event that implicit derivative contracts coexist in certain contracts, these are separated from the principal contract and accounted for separately. This procedure is applied if the financial conditions and risks of the principal contract and the implied derivative are not closely related, if an independent instrument with
similar conditions as the implied derivative would meet the definition of a derivative, and if the combined instrument is not measured at fair value with changes in
income.
In line with IAS 39, financial derivative instruments only qualify for hedge accounting if:
* at the start of the hedge, the hedge relationship is formally designated and documented
* it is expected the hedge will be highly effective
* its effectiveness can be reliably measured
* the hedge is highly effective for all periods in which the financial statements are reported for which it is designated
All derivatives are measured at fair value in line with IAS 39. When a derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting, the following accounting
procedures apply:
Cash Flow Hedge – When a derivative financial instrument is classified as a hedge against exposure to the variability of cash flows for an asset
*or liability,
or a highly probable planned transaction, the effective proportion of any profit or loss from the derivative financial instrument is directly
recorded under the equity reserve (Cash Flow Hedge Reserve). The cumulative income is removed from equity and recorded under income when the
hedged transaction affects incomes. The earnings or losses associated with the ineffective part of the hedge are immediately recognized under income.
Where hedge operations are no longer probable, the cumulative earnings or losses from the equity reserve are immediately recorded under income.
Where hedges may follow risk management strategies without necessarily satisfying the requirements and tests for effectiveness required by the accounting regulations for the application of hedge accounting, variations in the values of the instruments are allocated to income.
d) Inventory
Goods destined to be sold are valued using the lowest of their weighted average cost and net sale value.
Mobile telephone units for prepaid customers are included in this classification. In this case, possible subsidies when transferring equipment to the customer are
allocated against income as sales costs at that point.
e) Impairment
Non-Derivatives Financial Assets
A financial asset not measured at fair value with changes in income is evaluated for each reporting date to determine if there is objective evidence of impairment.
A financial asset is compromised if there is proof that a loss-causing event has occurred since the asset was first recorded and the event has a negative effect on
the estimated cash flows of the asset for the future and can be reliably estimated.
Differentiated percentages determined by factors such as the age of the debt and possible collection handling costs for different levels of customers are used to
calculate the impairment of accounts receivable. Similarly, a distinction is made between current debts, and renegotiated and documented debts.
151
The discounted values of accounts receivable and loans are not considered when calculating their impairment since they will be paid in the short term, and as such
the difference between their current value and the discounted value is not significant.
Non-Financial Assets
The book value of the Group’s non-financial assets, in contrast to inventories and deferred tax assets, is revised for each date on which the financial statements are
reported to determine if there are any signs of impairment. Where evidence exists, the recoverable value of the asset is then estimated. For goodwill and intangible
assets with an indefinite useful life or still unavailable for use, the recoverable value is calculated at the end of each year. The loss due to impairment is recorded
when the book value of an asset exceeds the estimated recoverable value.
The recoverable value of an asset is the greater of its use value and its fair value minus sales costs. In order to evaluate use value, current value is subtracted from
estimations of future cash flows using a net discounting rate that reflects current market variations to the time value of money and the specific risks of the asset.
In order to verify impairment, assets that cannot be individually tested are grouped as part of a smaller group of assets that generate incoming cash due to their
continued operation and are independent from payments from other assets. The test, as a limit to determine use value, is applied to the business segment in order
to calculate impairment of goodwill.
Losses from impairment are allocated to the income for the period. Reversals are not applied if they correspond to goodwill. In terms of other assets, losses from
impairment recorded in previous financial years are evaluated for each date of reporting when there are signs the loss has decreased or no longer exists. A loss
from impairment is reverted when there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable value.
A loss from impairment is reverted only insofar as the accounting value of the asset does not exceed the book value that has been determined, net of depreciation
or amortization, without considering the loss of the recorded value.
Report 2011
The factors mentioned above are used to determine estimates for billed services.
f) Property, Plant and Equipment
The acquisition value is recorded, minus cumulative depreciation and the cumulative value of losses from impairment in value.
The acquisition value considers the price of the acquisition of goods and services, including irrecoverable duties and customs obligations. Similarly, placement and
commissioning costs are also included until reaching operational conditions, in addition to estimates of the costs of dismantling and withdrawal.
Net interest for loans directly related to financing construction work accrued during the period of execution until the date on which the work is available for use is
capitalized. This does not apply to projects with a development period of less than six months.
g) Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment
Depreciations are applied linearly, considering the useful life of each type of asset in line with technical studies. These studies take into account both an annual study
of technological and commercial developments that make change recommendable, and the final residual value of the assets when decommissioned.
Procedures are also applied to evaluate any signs of depreciation in the value of assets. When the value of assets exceeds their market value or capacity for the
generation of net revenue, adjustments are made for depreciation and allocated against income for the period.
Telephone equipment provided to customers with postpaid mobile telephony services without transfer of ownership is depreciated for the average estimated length
of the relationship with these customers.
152
Report 2011
h) Financial Leasing
Leasing contracts in which the risks and returns of a property or asset are substantially transferred to the Group’s companies are recorded as leased assets.
Under such circumstances consideration is given to factors such as the transfer of the asset at the end of the contract, the value of the final purchase option, the
proportion of the economic life of the asset covered by the term of the contract, and the degree of equivalence between the present value of the minimum contract
payments and the fair value of the asset. The valuation is given by the present value of the agreed installments and the value to be paid to exercise the purchase
option. Depreciation of these assets is carried out in line with the general regulations for property, plant and equipment.
Assets are only legally acquired upon exercising the purchase option and thus cannot be freely disposed of in the meantime.
Assets leased under contracts with the aforementioned properties are considered as sold for accounting purposes, with the consequent reduction in inventory.
Income from these transactions is determined based on the present value of the receivable installments with respect to the acquisition or construction value of the
assets sold.
i) Intangible Assets
This category includes usage rights for fiber optic cable capacity (IRUs), the costs of obtaining licenses and operating concessions, in addition to easements and
other usage rights in favor of Group companies.
IRUs are linearly amortized and allocated against costs during the period of the respective agreements.
Licenses and concessions are amortized according to the lower of the estimated period of operation and the period of the award, which can range from 4 to 10 years,
with easements for the period in which the contract remains in force being granted for a maximum of 20 years.
Costs for the acquisition of software are represented as assets and amortized every 4 years.
j) Goodwill
In the case of the complete or partial acquisition of company rights, the acquisition method is applied, establishing the fair value of the assets and liabilities identified for the acquired company, registering any increases values for the acquisition as goodwill. This value is subject to testing for impairment in value at the close
of each financial year to record possible losses of this nature.
k) Income Tax and Deferred Taxes
The cost of income tax is determined based on the financial statements.
Temporary tax differences between the financial and tax bases are recorded as noncurrent assets or liabilities as applicable. Independent of the estimated recovery
period, these values are recorded at current value without being discounted to present value.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in line with the tax rates effective during the periods that they are expected to be realized or settled.
l) Employee Benefits
This covers compensation for years of service payable to employees with a permanent contract with Entel–Chile S.A. and who are members of the mutual corporation with eight years of continuous membership.
153
These obligations are accounted for at present value, discounting long-term interest rates and using actuarial forecasts of staff turnover, life expectancy, and salary
projections for prospective beneficiaries.
Report 2011
_Defined Benefits Plan (Post-Employment Benefits)
To determine the net value of the liability recorded, the fair value of the cumulative salaries of employees is calculated in line with payments that must be made to
certain funds according to current agreements.
Changes in the obligation due to accruals associated with increases in the number of attributable periods, new or leaving employees, and earnings or losses due to
actuarial effects are allocated against remuneration costs, whereas those for the accrual of implied interest are allocated against financial income.
_Severance Benefits
Severance pay, in contrast to post-employment benefits, is recognized as a cost when the Group has a clear commitment, without the possibility to withdraw the
offer, to a formal and detailed plan upon termination of employment before the normal date of retirement or to pay compensation for termination as part of an offer
to encourage voluntary retirements. Where benefits are due more than 12 months after the date of reporting, they are adjusted to present value.
_Short-Term Benefits
The values of obligations for short-term employee benefits are not discounted and are recorded as costs when the corresponding services are provided. A liability is
recorded for the value expected to be paid in short-term cash bonuses or share plans for benefits where the Group has a current legal or implied obligation to pay
out the sum as a result of past services provided by the employee and the obligation can be reliably estimated.
The cost of employees vacations are accounted for in the financial year in which the right is accrued, independent of the year in which it is exercised.
m) Revenue
Revenue is recorded based on the criteria of accrual, that is to say, upon the right to receive values or the obligation to make a payment. As such, the date of the
delivery or receipt of goods or services is considered, regardless of when the corresponding cash flow will be received (in advance, simultaneously, or within a given
term).
With respect to revenue, the following specific policies are observed for the cases set out:
_Aggregate supplies The components of supplies are bundled as part of commercial packages that determine the properties of each package.
Based on this information, revenue for the bundle is distributed to each component, applying the corresponding individual revenue recognition regulations.
Bundled sales that cannot be broken down are treated as a single transaction.
In the event that only one or some of the elements can be confidently assigned a value, the residual value is attributed to the remaining elements.
The value assigned to a given component is limited to the price of the transaction for its sale not subject to the delivery of other items.
_Equipment sales In line with the general regulations, revenue is recorded when the equipment is passed to the customer.
154
Revenue received for equipment directly received and which, technically or contractually, can be used only for services provided by the company, is deferred and
recorded when the contract is expected to come to an end.
Report 2011
Where the sale includes a complementary activity (installation, configuration, set-up, etc.) the sale is recorded upon satisfactory receipt by the customer.
For equipment provided without transfer of ownership (free loan, loan, lease etc.), no sales revenue is recorded. Equipment meeting this condition remains included
as inventory assets in use and is subject to the corresponding depreciation.
_Access charges revenue Revenue from access charges is deferred and recorded as revenue throughout the period for which the contract is valid, or the
expected customer retention period, whichever of the two is smaller.
The customer retention period is estimated based on historical experience, churn, or an understanding of market behavior.
Connections where the direct cost of carrying out work is greater than or equal to the charge made to the customer are exempt from the previous procedure. In
such cases, revenues received for connection charges are recorded when the customer is connected in order to maintain symmetry between revenue and costs.
Connection costs take into account the following: installation work and the management of orders placed with third parties, commissions made to distributors, and
the cost of SIM cards.
Connections that represent an independent transaction that cannot be rescinded and is not subject to the obligatory provision of other assets and services are
excluded from the general procedure.
_Customer Loyalty Programs The award of future benefits, with respect to service usage levels or current and past purchases. Any revenue received
should be distributed based on the fair value of the services already provided and those to be provided in the future; revenue assigned to the latter should be handled as projected revenue for future sales. In addition to this, provision is made for marginal costs associated with the goods and services to be provided fully or
partially free of charge.
Isolated campaigns for the introduction of new products or the relaunch of existing ones are excluded when their duration is less than three months and they do not
represent more than 1% of total sales in the last 12 months.
Such programs include: calling credit, product discounts, benefits for meeting targets, and the accumulation of redeemable points for goods or services provided
both by the company and third parties.
In cases where expiry or cancellation clauses come into effect, the respective unused balances are transferred to revenue.
These procedures are only applied when it is possible to make reliable estimates of benefits obtained by customers.
_Sales discounts Revenues are recorded net of any discounts provided to customers.
_Third Party Sales Where the company acts as a representative, agent, or dealer for the sale of goods and services produced by other agents, the net revenue
from the activities is recorded, i.e. the company only records the margin received for these services that represents the commission or share received.
To be classed as a representative, consideration is given to: if the product is explicitly sold under the supplier’s name; if the risks and responsibilities associated with
the product are assumed; and setting the price.
_Prepayment of Mobile Services Revenue received from customers for the prepayment of mobile services through cards or other means is recorded
under income in the month in which the users make use of the services for which the payment is destined or in which the prepayment expires, whichever occurs first.
_Services Spanning Accounting Periods The provision of services whose activity spans more than one accounting period is recorded as a percen-
155
n) Financing Expenses
The initial costs for commissioning, consultancy, and taxes for contracting credit are handled using the amortized cost method. Using this method, these costs form
part of the effective interest rate and amortization is consequently determined in line with the contractual interest applicable to the credit.
o) Provisions
Liabilities are recognized for all legal obligations for third parties, derivative transactions made, or future events with a high probability of generating payment flows.
These provisions are recorded insofar as their values can be determined in line with the risks identified, and based upon best estimates. The value is discounted
where it is estimated the effect of the time value of money is significant.
p) Dividends
Dividends to be paid to third parties are reported as a change in net equity for the year the obligation for their distribution arises, either because they are declared
at the shareholders meeting or because they correspond to a legal obligation for minimum dividend payments.
Report 2011
tage at the close of the period. This value is determined in line with the percentage of consumables supplied with respect to the budget.
q) Financial Information by Segment
An operating segment is a component of the Group that conducts business activities for which it may receive ordinary revenue and incur costs, including revenue
and costs for transactions with any other components of the Group. All income from operating segments is periodically reviewed by Group executive management
to determine the resources to assign to the segment and evaluate its performance.
Reported income for segments includes elements directly attributable to the segment, in addition to those which can be fairly allocated to it.
Capital expenditure for a segment (capex.) is the total expenditure incurred during the year for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, and intangible
assets.
r) State Subsidies
State subsidies for financing investments are allocated at the lower of the cost of acquisition or construction for the associated assets.
s) Revenue and Access charge
Report 2011
156
Values accrued for or against Group companies are recorded based on the agreements and measurements for traffic switched with other operators, both nationally
and internationally.
4. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
a) Determination of Fair Values
Certain of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the calculation of fair values for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values
are calculated for measurement and/or disclosure based on the following methods.
Derivatives Financial Instruments
The fair value of derivatives contracts not quoted on an active market is obtained from the difference between cash flows from rights and obligations arising from
the contracts, adjusted according to the corresponding interest rate.
The rates used for discounting are risk free and zero coupon, with the Libor rate used for dollars.
For a currency forward contract, this corresponds to the difference between the value of the currency to be purchased according to the contract, discounted at the
rate of the dollar for the remaining period and expressed in pesos according to the exchange rate at the close of the accounting period, minus the debt in pesos
agreed in the contract discounted at the valid rate for pesos for the remaining period of the contract.
For contracts to hedge against exchange and interest rates (CCS), it is determined by the difference in flows, including notional capital, discounted from each contract component.
Non-Derivatives Financial Instruments
The fair value used for the purposes of disclosures is calculated based on the present value of future capital and cash flows from interest, discounted at market
interest rates at the close of the accounting period.
For financial leasing, both as leasing party and lease holder, the interest rate is determined by referring to the current market rates for leasing agreements of a
similar nature.
In terms of current corporate assets and liabilities, their fair value is deemed to be the same as their present value, and they are thus are handled as short-term
flows.
Non-Derivatives Financial Liabilities
The fair value calculated for the purposes of disclosure is calculated based on the present value of future capital and cash flows from interest, discounted at the
market interest rate on the date of reporting. For financial leasing, the market interest rate is calculated by referring to similar leasing agreements.
b) Fair Value Hierarchies
_Level 2: Inputs that differ to the quoted prices included in level 1 and are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. as a price) or indirectly (i.e. derived
from a price).
_Level 3: Inputs for assets or liabilities not based on observable market information (non-observable inputs).
The following table shows the total values of assets and liabilities for financial instruments, measured and reported at fair value:

Guarantees. Real guarantees are requested or credit insurance is contracted for customers or segments where there is a high risk of having to write off debt. At
present, in the case of intermediaries for electronic charges of mobile service usage rights (indirect channel), these risks are mitigated using guarantee letters and
credit insurance contracts with accredited insurance companies.
Report 2011

Compliance Incentive (Improving Credit) – In the Corporate & SME segments, customers’ motivation to meet payment terms is influenced by whether they will appear on public or private registers for poor payment practices (DICOM, Transunion – formerly Databusiness, and SIISA). Additionally, for all segments (People and
Corporate & SME), differentiated service cut-offs are made, and telephone and in-person collection activities are undertaken before the company prohibits renewal
of the contract.

Losses allocated against costs for the 2010 financial year for the impairment of intangible assets refer to adjustments to book values that have their origins in
lower market prices and insufficient recovery flows with respect to certain usage rights for fiber optic cables (Th.CLP $1,218,000) and operating licenses (Th.
CLP $507,390). For these purposes, the current market values and/or recovery values have been taken into account in line with the expected generation of flows.
Impairment has not been allocated against income for the current year.

Report 2011
The Group companies have procedures designed to detect possible impairment in the value of their property, plant and equipment assets.
Policies for determining impairment in the value of property, plant and equipment are based on a continuous analysis of impairment indexes. Where these are positive,
the recovery values of the affected assets are estimated.
The business makes use of asset control systems with varying degrees of component detail and integration with service technology platforms.
The values allocated as losses for this category throughout 2011 and 2010 originate from the removal of customer equipment with a very low probability of reuse or
of transfer, items damaged by the earthquake in February 2010, equipment whose remaining useful life is greater than the estimated periods of financial usage, and
equipment affected by technological change or decreases in recoverable value owing to decreases in the prices of certain services.
Impairment in the value of property, plant and equipment that has affected income is as follows:

In terms of assets that have reached the end of their useful accounting life, recovery or final return values for transfer have not been calculated as it is difficult to
predict the additional period of economic efficiency, primarily since technological risk has risen with their age.
There are no assets with restrictions on ownership, except for those normal for assets under financial leasing, nor have full or partial guarantees been made on
these.
Commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, including purchase orders with suppliers and contracts for
civil engineering works, were Th.CLP $20,792,266 and Th.CLP $30,709,321, respectively.
Within this category there are no elements of significant value that are out of service.
The gross value of inactive materials that, while being fully depreciated are still to some extent in use, is Th.CLP $556,077,830. In general, these correspond to assets with high technological obsolescence, whose withdrawal or replacement becomes economically feasible upon termination of the services for which they are
being used, increases in failure rates, the withdrawal of technological support from the manufacturer, or other circumstances. Valuations at use value have not been
undertaken for these assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the remaining periods of use.
At the end of 2009, the Telecommunications Development Fund, administered by the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications, awarded the Digital Infrastructure Project for Competitiveness and Innovation to Entel, which will see mobile Internet delivered to 1,400 areas throughout Chile.
In the context of this project, at the close of the 2011 financial year, work had been carried out to the value of Th.CLP $63,582,694. In line with the agreement signed
with the state, subsidies of Th.CLP $20,414,280 had been received. Of this value, Th.CLP $16,459,928 has been allocated as the lowest value of the works carried out
and Th.CLP $3,920,940 has been retained as advance payments for work to be executed or currently being received.

_a) Loans Accruing Interest – As of December 31, 2011, the current values of the following bank loans were:
179
_Credit provided by Scotiabank & Trust (Cayman) Ltd. and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. Joint loan for USD $200,000,000, at Libor USD 90 day + 0.95%
_b) Hedge Derivatives – Cash flow - This balance corresponds to the market value of derivative contracts classified as hedges against exchange and interest rate
risks, Cross Currency Swap (CCS), with respect to the syndicated loan administered by Citibank N.A. These CCS contracts include the substitution of obligations
for USD $173 million at a rate of Libor 90 day + 0.275% for UF 4,491,000, and obligations in Chilean pesos for Th.CLP $22,600,000, both rates fluctuating between
2.95% and 5.58%.
_c) Derivatives at Fair Value with Change in Income – This item includes foreign exchange futures contracts (FR), with a purchase obligation of USD $411 million
and EUR €3 million, in a total of Th.CLP $222,023,105.
It also includes CCS contracts due to expire in June 2012, with a purchase obligation of USD $67 million, in UF 2,246,000. The interest rate for these CCS contracts
is the Libor USD 90 day + 0.275% for components in dollars, with rates fluctuating between 2.95% and 3.05% for the UF component.
Report 2011
_Syndicated Loan administered by Citibank N.A. Balance of USD $400,000,000, at Libor USD 90 day + 0.275%.
In calculating the market value of derivative instruments flows are discounted considering variables quoted on active markets (interest rates). Consequently, the
market values determined are classified under the second level of the IFRS 7 hierarchy.
The expiry profile of the nominal flows for other financial liabilities is presented in the following table. For the purposes of calculating values, capital and interest
payment flows (without discounting values) have been considered for financial debts and the compensation value of financial derivatives with favorable balances,
according to the current exchange rates at the close of the period.

Liquidity risks are controlled by financial planning that takes into account debt policies and potential third party financing sources. The low level of debt held by the
Group’s companies and access to national and international finance through bank loans and placing debt securities secures allows it to reduce long term liquidity
risks, with the exception of systematic alterations in the financial markets.

On June 24, 2011, the parent company signed two contracts to issue dematerialized bearer debt securities up to a maximum of UF 5,000,000 each, equivalent to
Th.CLP $111,470,150, with terms of 10 and 30 years. On this date, the complementary deeds were also issued for the contracts, destined to establish the individual
conditions of their placement.
184
These contracts for issuing securities represented a strong alternative to the refinancing of liabilities undertaken by the company during the last quarter of the
current year. Finally, due to the prevailing economic and market conditions at the time of carrying out the refinancing, another source was chosen.

b) Compensation for Years of Service (Post-Employment and Severance Benefits)
The Parent company retains the most significant agreements for compensation for years of service with employee and executive segments.
The right to receive this benefit and the determination of its value are regulated by the respective agreements, taking into account factors such as years of service,
permanency, and remuneration.
The benefit is provided to staff through the Entel–Chile Mutual Corporation, jointly financed by both employees through a monthly contribution of 2.66% of their base
salary, and by the company, which must contribute supplementary funds required on an annual basis as required to meet payment of compensation to a maximum
of 3% of the workforce.
Liabilities recorded as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, designated for post-employment benefits were Th.CLP $7,651,126 and Th.CLP $8,182,456, respectively,
representing the current value of severance pay accrued on those dates after deducting the values available from the Mutual Corporation.
In addition to agreements held by the parent company, the subsidiaries Entel Call Center S.A. and Cientec S.A. have agreements to cover severance pay for years
of service in the case of redundancy, which have been designated as Severance Benefits. The total accrued by these subsidiaries for each period is Th.CLP $66,948
and Th.CLP $75,356, respectively.

Report 2011
Transactions
Between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2011, no changes were recorded for issuing, surrenders, reductions, or any other circumstances.
The portfolio does not contain shares in its own companies.
There are no reserves or commitments to issue shares to cover option and sale contracts.
_Cumulative Earnings (Losses)
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, these suffered decreases of Th.CLP $54,229,998 and Th.CLP $51,625,565, respectively. These values correspond to the provisional dividends paid out for these years, plus the provision for the remaining distribution for compliance with the legal minimum dividend.
The remaining provisions to meet the legal minimum dividend are CLP $12.61 and CLP $100 per share for the respective years.
_Dividend Policy
In line with Act 18,046, and except when another agreement has been reached at the shareholders meeting by unanimity of shares issued, at least 30% of any profit
made by public limited companies must be paid as a dividend.
Report 2011
188
The company’s dividend distribution policy that is currently in force establishes dividends in excess of the legal minimums. However these limits set maximums
and as such any dividends paid in excess of the legal minimum are discretionary. With respect to the above, the company does not make dividend provisions in
excess of the legal minimum.
The policy communicated at the most recent ordinary shareholders meeting held on April 26, 2011, will consider proposing payments of up to 80% of profits for
each financial year, conditional on the company’s annual results, investment requirements, and the safeguards established in long term bank loan agreements to
which the Company is committed with respect to debt, liquidity and financing.
The Chilean Securities and Insurance Supervisor requires the parent company to define a policy for handling income originating from the adjustment of assets and
liabilities to fair value. As such, the company has established a policy of deducting the unrealized profits that would have been generated from the income to be
distributed.
In terms of profits for the 2010 financial year, this corresponded to a reduction of Th.CLP $885,992 for the adjustment of non-hedge financial derivative contracts to
fair value. With respect to the profits for 2011, no adjustments are required to be made in this respect.
Except for the conditions referred to in the previous paragraphs, the company is not subject to additional restrictions for the payment of dividends.
_Dividend payments
At the ordinary shareholders meeting, held on April 26, 2011, it was agreed to make a final dividend payment of CLP $445 per share, equivalent to Th.CLP $105,253,044.
The dividend was payable on May 24, 2011.
At the ordinary shareholders meeting, held on April 29, 2010, it was agreed to distribute a final dividend payment of CLP $350 per share, equivalent to
Th.CLP $82,783,293. The dividend was payable on May 25, 2010.
At the board meeting held on November 7, 2011, the board agreed to pay an interim dividend of CLP $150 per share, equivalent to a total of Th.CLP $35,478,554. The
dividend was payable on December 12, 2011.
At the board meeting held on November 9, 2010, the board agreed to pay an interim dividend of CLP $100 per share, equivalent to a total of Th.CLP $23,652,370. The
dividend was payable on December 13, 2010.
_Other reserves
The other reserves present in the Statement of Changes in Equity are of the following nature:
Reserves for Foreign Currency Translation – This value reflects the cumulative results of exchange rate fluctuations when converting the financial statements of
subsidiaries based outside of Chile from their working currency to the Group’s reporting currency (Chilean Pesos).
Cash Flow Hedge Reserve – Corresponds to the difference between the spot and fair values of cash flow hedge contracts (CCS) classified as effective. Net of deferred tax.
These values are transferred to income upon maturity of the contract.
Other Reserves – Charges and credits to equity for the adjustments to be made for the first-time application of the International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS), effective from January 1, 2008.
The main balances for controlled adjustments in this reserve correspond to deferred tax liabilities and prepaid revenue from customers not recorded on this date
for Th.CLP $10,866,212 and Th.CLP $8,215,281, respectively.
Additionally, in accordance with Act 18,046, Article 10, , and Circular 456 of the Chilean Securities and Insurance Supervisor, the revaluation of paid-in capital for
2008 must be listed under this item.

The item Net Revenue for Insurance Settlement records the net effect of charges and credits to income for the earthquake that affected the central zone of Chile at
the start of 2010.
For 2010, the charges for deterioration in value, write-offs, and the costs of repairing assets were Th.CLP $7,646,329. This value was offset by provisions made in
the estimation of insurance compensations to the same value.
The repair work to facilities and valuation of damages were completed in 2011. Similarly, the insurance loss adjuster issued the final settlement for damages
to assets and facilities, and losses for stoppage. The valuation of the damages was adjusted based on this information, with an allocation against income for
Th.CLP $1,085,315 and a credit for Th.CLP $8,006,107 was recorded to adjust the estimates of compensation provisions from the previous year to the value of the
final settlement.

26. FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY SEGMENT
The Entel Group has developed management information systems that can provide financial information broken down into fine degrees of separation in order to
make decisions for the allocation of resources and performance evaluation.
The most relevant segmentation used for decision making purposes uses subgroups of operating companies which operate in the following business areas:
1. Telecommunications over Mobile Networks
This operating segment is represented by a group of subsidiaries that deploy and operate networks and licenses for the provision of mobile telecommunication
services.
These services include voice, value added services, data, broadband, and mobile Internet.
2. Telecommunications and Other Services over a Fixed Network
This segment is represented by a group of companies focused on the operation of fixed telecommunications service networks and concessions. It provides the
following services: data networks, local telephone services, Internet access, long distance public telephone services, integration of IT services (data center, BPO and
operational continuity), network leasing, and wholesale traffic services.
196
Report 2011
3. International Operations and Other Activities
This essentially corresponds to the company’s operations in Peru, which include the provision of business services, as well as long distance and wholesale traffic
services.
It also includes the operations of subsidiaries providing call center services to the corporate market and Group companies.
The information relative to each of these segments as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, is as follows:
Transactions between segments are recorded for the periods in which services were provided or assets were transferred, taking into account market prices.
International operations delivered through subsidiaries in Peru generated revenue of Th.CLP $22,179,440 for the 2011 financial year, equivalent to 1.8% of Group
revenue from ordinary activities.

27. RISK MANAGEMENT
_The Risk of Technological Change
Changes in telecommunications technology make it necessary to continuously review investment plans to ensure they are aligned with our goal of responding to
changes in connectivity requirements adopted by markets. Changes in technology can be caused both by modifications to patterns of demand and the development
of new forms of communication associated with their applications and the speeds used. The periods of obsolescence for investments in new technology may be less
than those taken into account when the investment is made, meaning that the initial estimations of expected profitability may not be met.
This makes the risk of technological change an inherent part of the industry in which Entel operates and the company’s position at the cutting edge of technological
development means it is essential for it to actively manage technological risk for it to maintain this position and remain competitive.
Accordingly, Entel has an active and continuous policy of adopting cutting-edge technologies as a strategic part of its growth and development, although always
subject to a continuous review of their profitability. This has allowed Entel to position itself at the forefront of technology, adapting to the use of new technologies and
making the transition from offering a single product to becoming integrated connectivity provider and continuously offering new ways of doing business. The appearance and development of new technologies has enabled Entel to grow, integrate, and diversify, reducing its exposure to individual business areas and segments.
_Regulatory Risks
Report 2011
198
Regulation plays an important role in the telecommunications industry. Stable regulations and criteria allow for the adequate evaluation of projects and the reduction of the risk inherent in investments, making close monitoring of regulatory changes important. In this respect, 2011 saw the implementation of the various
regulatory directives published at the end of 2010.
However, in January 2011, the Entel Phone tariff restructuring process to fix access charges and other facilities provided to other telecommunications concession
holders should have been complete, having been planned to last for five years from this date. As of the end of 2011, the decree was still being processed, however
when it has been finalized and published, it will be applied retrospectively from January 2011.
The introduction of network neutrality into the General Telecommunications Act, the main function of which is to establish requirements to provide users with better
information, will affect the market by making it possible to carry out comparisons between different operators and make more informed decisions as a result of the
new information. In 2011, the initiative was complemented by a regulation requiring companies providing Internet access to make certain information available on
their websites and undertake quarterly measurements of technical indicators for services providing access to the Internet. The regulation is already in operation
and its first impact will be felt during the coming year with the publication of the figures for the technical indicators.
In the national long distance business the number of primary geographical areas defined for national communications was reduced from 24 to 13 in October 2011.
It is estimated that this legal modification will have no relevant effects on Entel’s revenue for the coming three years, however, the regulations stipulate that 37
months after the law has come into force (i.e. the start of 2015), and subject to a favorable report from the Tribunal for the Defense of Free Competition, the national
long distance category will be removed. As such, from this date, fixed local telephone services will operate in the same way as mobile telephone services, without
a requirement to make use of a carrier for calls between different geographical areas within the country.
In addition to this, in line with legal modifications made at the end of 2010, in 2011, the first steps will be taken in the implementation of number portability, taking
effect throughout the country from January 16, 2012 and allowing subscribers from different fixed and mobile telephone companies to switch supplier while keeping the same number. In the first phase, changes are only possible between companies operating within the same type of network (e.g. from one mobile to another).
This new competitive scenario was first rolled out in Arica’s primary fixed telephony zone during December 2011. It was then followed by mobile telephone services
(national) on January 16, then fixed telephone services for the Metropolitan Region in March, after which point it will be rolled-out progressively to incorporate
new primary zones. The intention is that the gradual implementation of the system for the wireline network will be complete on a national scale during the second
quarter of 2012.
Similarly, during 2011, and following a number of years of processing, the legislative debate in congress to regulate the installation of antennae for the emission and
transmission of telecommunications services was completed. In its third stage, the mixed commission approved a bill of law with favorable votes in both chambers
at the start of January for subsequent enactment and publication in the Official Gazette, subject to procedures by the Constitutional Court regarding its constitutional
organic regulations. This initiative regulates the installation of antennae in order to tackle the impact of development on the urban environment through stricter
requirements at a municipal level, as well as the regulation of other aspects relating to the installation of antennae, such as co-location, and compensation for
those living nearby in certain areas, something which may have an impact on the development of telecommunications networks and imply additional investments.
In addition to this, the company has continued to pay attention to the telecommunications convergence process driven by the new government through initiatives
seeking to increase the diversity of uses of the radio electric spectrum for telecommunications services. This is in addition to communications from the industry
regulator regarding new spectrum to be tendered in the medium term, something of fundamental importance to the expansion of the company’s operations. In this
respect, during December 2011, the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications published the invitation for a new tender for spectrum on the 2600 MHz band,
used in the majority of countries for the development of LTE technology (Long Term Evolution or 4G).
There is also currently an investigation under way by the Tribunal for the Defense of Free Competition to review telephone services that have different tariffs for
calls to other networks; similarly, the provision of telecommunications services in product bundles is also being analyzed. In this process, presentations are already
being made by all stakeholders, and the tribunal is considering the information in order to issue a resolution with respect to the material.
All these regulatory changes being introduced by the authority provide new business opportunities. Additionally, the diversity and relative size of Entel cushion it
from the effects of adverse or inadequate regulation, reducing the risk created for its operations, cash flows, wealth creation for shareholders, and contribution to
the community. However, within a regulated industry such as the one in which Entel operates, changes in regulations or in the policies made by legal and regulatory
authorities cannot be ruled out and have the potential to impact negatively upon the results of the company or restrict its possibility for growth.
Entel’s financing is largely denominated in foreign currencies as a result of signing a syndicated loan and another credit agreement provided by two banks in December 2011 (Tokio-Mistubishi and Scotiabank). Furthermore, a proportion of Entel’s suppliers permanently generate obligations for foreign currency payments. Both
components represent liabilities whose value changes on a daily basis as a result of exchange rate fluctuations. As a result of this, Entel takes out short- and longterm contracts in foreign currency assets (hedge derivatives) to protected the value against these variations and thus eliminate risk from exchange rate fluctuations.
_Interest Rate Risks
The company’s policy establishes that the debt structure must be held with a maximum of 60% at variable interest rates. In the event that debts rise above this
limit, the company will structure the corresponding financial instruments to ensure compliance with this policy. The proportions of variable-rate debt exposed to
fluctuations in the estimated rate behave in a manner sufficiently similar to the assets of the business and reflects the EBITDA generated during each financial year.
As of December 31, 2011, the Group had credit in foreign currency to the value of USD $600 million, accruing interest based on the variable Libor rate and impacting
on the fluctuations of the financial expenditure in the Income Statements. In order to mitigate the effects of these variations, the management takes out financial
contracts for rate derivatives (Cross Currency Swap), hence fixing a significant proportion of the interest paid.
When there is a rise in the Libor base rate according to market forecasts, the Group’s annual financing costs increase, although they are still within the limits established by the management and the financial safeguards guaranteed to its creditors.
_Credit Risk
The credit risk related to the balances of accounts held with banks, financial instruments, negotiable stocks, and derivatives is managed by the finance area in line
with the policies devised to maintain the invested capital. These policies insure the diversification of risk through pre-established limits for duration of placement,
percentage by institution, and risk of the instruments in which cash surpluses are invested. The investment instruments approved for use are those issued by the
Chilean Central Bank or banking subsidiaries with high risk ratings. Investments may be denominated in the local currency or in main foreign currencies.
199
Report 2011
_Exchange Rate Risks
Risk exposure associated with the recovery of accounts receivable originating from commercial operations, is derived from the terms of payment that must be
offered, due to the nature of the telecommunications industry, to direct customers, intermediaries, and other national and international operators with whom reciprocal connection agreements are held. Risk management for accounts receivable is designed to minimize exposure, insofar as possible given market conditions. Risk management processes are differentiated according to debtors profiles, in line with segmented portfolio controls: these include people, businesses, corporations, telecommunications companies,
correspondence, distributors, large retailers, and other channels for the distribution of goods and services.
For each segment, there are prospective and predictive models that make it possible to devise policies depending on the origin of the debt. These range from the
prepaid services used for the highest risk customer/product combinations, all the way to the establishment of credit limits, with and without collateral guarantees,
credit insurance, and other alternatives, evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
_Liquidity Risk
In terms of providing the required liquidity to meet financial obligations in a timely manner, Entel pays future expiries in advance, seeking an option on the market
that can provide funds in a timely manner. During 2011, the amortization installment due in June 2012 was paid in advance, thus avoiding the potential risks of the
debt market.
For more detail, the expiry dates of financial liabilities are detailed in note 15.

from allocations and adjustments made by the company in calculating its profits for the 2004 and 2005 tax years and judged as improper by the service.
The final stage in this process corresponds to the filing of a claim against the tax court, dated November 7, 2007 which is currently awaiting judgment.
2) Adjustments 33 to 36, September 1, 2009. These adjustments request the payment of Th.CLP $4,657,018 of tax plus adjustments for inflation, interest and fines,
derived from allocations and adjustments made by the company in calculating its profit for the 2007 and 2008 tax years and judged as improper by the service.
The service issued resolution 59-2010, dated January 7, 2011, which only partially accepted the request for the revision of the tax audit presented on November 13,
2009. A claim was made against this resolution in the tax courts arguing it must be fully accepted given the arguments put forward.
_The subsidiary Call Center S.A. was notified on April 30, 2008 by the Inland Revenue Service as per summons No. 26, April 29, 2008. This summons challenges the

f.
Management Processes
During the final quarter of 2011, the Department for Telecommunications and Sernac, the Chilean consumer office, initiated processes for the inspection and investigation of events that affected service standards and/or their conditions of sale for services provided by Entel PCS. The results of these processes may lead to some
form of sanctions. While it is not possible to determine their effects at this moment in time, it is estimated that the effect on the company’s income will be minimal.
A summary of these events follows: i) In the second week of October, the supplier BlackBerry experienced an international problem with its network for certain
users in various countries, including Chile. The problem resulted in delays to its services and also affected our mobile subsidiary concession holder for around
three days. ii) Suppliers of complementary services operating in the mobile market and providing information services to customers through received messages
are under investigation. In this case, and given that the messaging service generated charges for each message received, it is being verified if the conditions under
which they were contracted complied with the basic information required to allow customers to make a correctly informed decision. An agreement has been reached through a mediation process with Sernac to reimburse certain sums to customers who received complementary services they did not contract within a period
of 90 days. Compliance will then be accredited by Sernac through a report prepared by an external auditing firm determined by the company. iii) The interruption
experienced in the provision of the messaging service provided through the mobile network during a general power cut that affected a large part of the country.
During this period backup equipment failed to function correctly, however the interruption did not affect public mobile telephone services and the mobile service
network for Internet access, and lasted for less than two hours. Charges have been prepared by the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications and the company
has presented its defense claiming these should be rejected for a number of reasons.
For the first two events, the company has made provisions for the estimated compensation to be paid to customers (Th.CLP $450,000 and Th.CLP $115,000, respectively). For the third event, no provisions have been made since the duration of the interruption was less than the time established for sanctions to be applicable.
Report 2011
The service issued resolution 59-02, dated August 31, 2009, which only partially accepts the request for the revision of the tax audit presented on September 9, 2009.
A claim was made against this resolution in the tax courts arguing it must be fully accepted given the arguments put forward.
g. There are management restrictions and limits on financial indicators imposed by the syndicated loan contract led by Citibank Citibank, N.A., credit contracts with
Scotiabank & Trust (Cayman) Ltd. and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., and the contracts for issuing the dematerialized debt certificates. The most significant
of these stipulate that:
_No merger or consolidation with another company is allowed unless the company survives and none of the restrictions established in debt covenants are exceeded.
_The company or its subsidiaries may not sell assets without considering:
i) The asset’s fair value.
ii) Sales or leasing operations for assets must not exceed 35% of assets in each year, except when dealing with obsolete or unnecessary inventory, cash or cash
equivalent operations, customer agreements, and other operations in the normal course of business.
iii)
206
_Assets must not be pledged, with the exception of existing pledges as of August 13, 2007 that do not exceed USD $60 million, for securing operations, leasing or
credit letters, deferred taxes, duties on new acquisitions, or projects in excess of certain amounts specified for each case.
Report 2011
Any sale of shares in the subsidiary Entel Telefonia Personal S.A. must guarantee retention of at least 50% of the shares and the possibility of having a majority
on the board of directors.
_The consolidated debt ratio must not exceed 4.0:1. In order to determine the ratio, only financial debt is taken into account (excluding debts arising from goods
and services in the line of business) in relation to total operating revenue for each period, plus depreciation, amortization, and other expenses that do not represent
cash flows (EBITDA).
_The consolidated interest hedge ratio must not be less than 3.0:1. For this purpose, the relationship between the EBITDA and net financial expenditure is considered, both being calculated for the twelve months preceding the end of each quarter.
In the event of non-compliance with any of these requirements, creditors may demand payment of all amounts owed, without the possibility of complaint, lawsuit,
or protest on the part of the debtor. As of December 31, 2011, the company has satisfied all these requirements.
29. THIRD PARTY GUARANTEES
The Group’s companies have not received any sureties from third parties for assets, loan operations, or to guarantee any other type of obligation.
30. ENVIRONMENT
The company has not made any disbursements for environmental regulations.
31. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Group companies have not undertaken any activities of this nature during the periods covered by the financial statements considered in this report.
However the parent company maintains a valid contract with the principal public agency responsible for the promotion of innovation (Corfo Innova Chile Committee)
to promote business innovation, innovative entrepreneurship, technology diffusion and transfer, and public innovation. The expenses incurred to this date in the
context of this initiative do not yet qualify as research and development expenditure as such.
In the context of this contract a modern Innovation Center was launched at the end of 2010, focusing on the creation of high-tech projects with the joint participation
of customers and technology partners.
32. SANCTIONS
207
33. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 9, 2012, the unilateral retraction of the controller of GTD Teleductos S.A. to merge the company with Entel S.A. was acknowledged in line with the Memorandum of Intent signed on November 28, 2011.
Between January 1, 2012 and the date on which these financial statements are published, no subsequent events have occurred that could significantly affect the
values contained therein.
Report 2011
The Group companies and their directors and managers have not been subject to sanctions of any nature by the Chilean Securities and Insurance Supervisor or any
other regulatory authorities.

Ebitda rose from CLP $466,018 million to CLP $515,200 million between 2010 and 2011. This represents an increase of 15.5%.
Evolution in Financial Ratios
Over the last two financial years, the financial ratios of the Entel Group have remained within ranges that indicate an extremely solid financial position.
The debt ratio at the end of 2011 was 101.53%, remaining within levels that tend to balance internal and external sources of finance. The improvement observed
with respect to the end of 2010 is a result of a 7.1% increase in equity while total debt has decreased by 2.2%.
Neither debt levels or financing costs have been affected by the volatility of the exchange rate during the last two years, this being neutralized by the Group’s exchange rate hedge policies. The policy is based on using derivative instruments to hedge exposure.
The value of the US Dollar has seen both positive and negative variations during each of the last 24 months, with an annual variation of -7.71% for 2010 and 10.94%
for 2011.
Liquidity ratios have also remained stable, with a one to one relationship between current assets and liabilities.
There have been no significant variations in the composition and level of debt, as well as the ratio for short-term and long-term debt at the end of the annual periods.
209
However there is a slight decrease in profitability between the 2010 and 2011 figures, essentially caused by market conditions that resulted in an increase in market
share for the mobile businesses within a highly dynamic industry.
Ebitda, as mentioned above, increased by 15.5% from one year to the other.
The ratio of financial expenditure hedging remained at a high level of solvency: hedges of this expenditure for income before taxes increased from 20.95 to 22.26
times in the last 12 months.
The performance of this ratio is even more significant when the net financial cost is taken into account (i.e. compensating revenue and financial expenditure), since
when measured in this way, it has risen from 24.19 to 31.23.
Similarly, if the calculation is carried out based on cash flows, considering income before depreciation, the value increases from 52.11 to 69.39.
The following are taken into account when calculating the ratios for the hedging of financial expenditure: interest from bank loans, differences in rates from the
application of interest rate hedge contracts, and interest from financial leasing contracts. The interest calculations are carried out based on effective rates, in line
with the procedures of the amortized cost method (IAS 39).
The Group’s total assets have increased by 4.6% between 2010 and 2011, equivalent to Th.CLP $69 million.
The largest change is in Property, Plant and Equipment, with a net increase of Th.CLP $79 million. This rise corresponds to an increase in investment over and above
depreciation for the period.
For the 2011 financial year, gross investment was Th.CLP $358 million, including postpaid customer handsets.
Report 2011
Efficiency and profitability ratios remained at satisfactory levels, both in terms of profitability and return on equity and assets.
Investments were mainly focused on more advanced services, such as mobile telephony, data center platforms, networks for wholesalers services provided over
the wireline network, operational continuity service platforms, and broadband Internet.
Of the total investment made, almost 70% was focused on subsidiaries providing mobile services. The subsidiaries invested Th.CLP $139 million in network infrastructure and Th.CLP $112 million in handsets provided to postpaid subscribers.
The investment over the last twelve months includes investments for the Digital Infrastructure for Competitiveness and Innovation project, designated for promotional initiatives such as Todo Chile Conectado. Almost Th.CLP $64 million was invested in this project, Th.CLP $16 million of which came from government subsidies.
Entel was awarded the project at the end of 2010 by the Telecommunications Development Fund Council and aims to provide Internet access in approximately
1,500 rural areas with state subsidies applicable to areas with low coverage. The 3.5G network will be used for these purposes since it is already in operation in the
majority of the areas to be covered.
Investments made during the last twelve months include Th.CLP $15 million in real estate for advanced payments for work on one of the Parque Titanium towers
that will house the Group’s headquarters.
In terms of current inventories, these are mainly made up of mobile handsets for prepaid customers. Their level, activity and rotation are determined based on
growth projections of the portfolio in addition to requirements for the renewal of equipment.
Market Analysis
210
The Entel Group operates in a highly competitive market for the various services it provides.
Report 2011
There have been no major changes in terms of the large number of active competitors in the telecommunications market during the last year.
The starting operations by VTR and Nextel, the two new mobile operators with frequencies for 3G telephone services in 2010, has yet to have no significant effect.
Once these new operators are fully active, in combination with the recent implementation of number portability, the range and depth of competition for services
will increase. Effects on the market and prices are difficult to predict, especially given the requirement that new operators ensure the profitability of any resources
deployed, both their own and subcontracted. Their networks will have to compete with current operators in terms of scale and coverage and they will need to undertake significant marketing activities to attract customers.
The Entel Group recently signed a domestic “roaming” agreement with Nextel, which it will provide with access to its mobile networks in regions where it has no
coverage.
The Group is favorably positioned to deal with the challenges that lie ahead. In terms of mobile services, which represented almost 78% of revenue in 2011 and have
a market share of almost 40% of active subscribers, the Entel brand maintains a strong position, with high levels of customer preference. To the present date, these
factors have been decisive in determining policies regarding market share and composition of the customer portfolio (postpaid and prepaid).
This was confirmed during the first nine days of number portability, which came into effect on January 16, 2012. The behavior observed among mobile users during
this period was highly positive. There was a positive balance of net movement, with Entel recording 60% more incoming customers than outgoing ones; the situation
was the opposite for the remainder of the industry.
It should be noted that in the mobile services area Entel has been ranked first for nine years in a row in the Mobile Services Customer Satisfaction index, organized
by the organization Procalidad and Capital magazine.
Entel has also been recognized by Cisco as Service Partner of the Year for the Southern Cone of Latin America for the leadership that has secured its position as
the leading supplier and system integrator in Chile.
The market policies employed have been successful in providing differentiated service to postpaid customers whose service level usage (MOU) and average revenue
(ARPU) are greater than those of prepaid customers.
Similarly, the policies employed have driven the increase in the number of subscribers to Mobile Broadband (MBB) services, which exceeded 945,000 contracts in
December 2011, including cards for business applications, an increase of 72% with respect to the same month of the previous year.
In general and in line with the market share analyses carried out by Group companies over the last twelve months, some variations have been observed in the
companies’ market share for both mobile and wireline services.
The most significant variation corresponds to the increase in the Group’s share of active mobile customers from 37% to 40% during 2011.
New business activities being developed by the Group have continued to see improvements in its position, especially with its focus on the business segment and the
provision of integrated voice, data and Internet solutions, and IT services.
The migration from national and international long distance services to mobile and IP services has continued although the reduction in the number of primary areas
from 24 to 13 in October had limited impact on volumes of traffic. These services represented 2.5% of the Group’s revenue for 2011.
In its international operations, the Group currently has presence in Peru, whose markets, resource requirements, and management activities are aligned with current strategic goals. In Peru, the Group’s business activities are focused on wireline services for enterprise customers in Lima, as well as domestic and international
Call Center services.
The most significant variations in volumes and prices will be discussed further on in reference to changes in sales revenue.
211
The market risks faced by the Group companies are discussed in note 27 to the consolidated financial statements.
The note comments on the technological, regulatory, exchange rate, credit, interest, and liquidity risks, in addition to the control and mitigation policies employed.
The permanent analysis of technological and market trends continued to benefit from a partnership with the UK-based operator Vodafone Group, a world leader in
mobile telecommunications. Through this partnership, the Group’s mobile subsidiaries are able to share best practices in customer services, access new voice and
data products with international access, are able to expand the coverage and quality of their roaming services, and maintain leadership in the development of value
added services for Advanced Digital Mobile Telephony, also known as 3G.
As has been previously observed, Entel’s market recognition is shown by it having come first in the Mobile Services Customer Satisfaction ranking organized by the
organization Procalidad and Capital magazine for nine years in a row, and having been recognized by Cisco as Service Provider Partner of the Year for the Southern
Cone of Latin America for the leadership that secured its position as the leading supplier and systems integrator in Chile.
In terms of regulatory material for the services the Group provides at a domestic level, a range of reforms that will affect competition, accelerate Internet penetration, and control the deployment of antennas in urban areas have been enacted or are in the advanced stages of the legislative process.
As noted in the notes to the financial statements, these reforms include the establishment of mechanisms to provide improved information to allow users to compare the market for Internet services, the elimination of the national long distance category, the uniformity of telephone numbers, number portability for mobile and
fixed services, the incorporation of infrastructure suppliers, and the stimulation of increased broadband access by means of demand subsidies.
In December 2011, the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications published the invitation for a new tender for spectrum on the 2600 MHz band, used in the
majority of countries for the development of LTE technology (Long Term Evolution or 4G).
Report 2011
Analysis of Market Risk
In consideration of the aforementioned regulatory changes, the diversity and scale of the Entel Group allows it to mitigate against the consequences of potentially
adverse regulations as well as create new business opportunities. Overall however, in the context of a regulated industry, it is impossible to rule out changes that
may impact on income or limit possibilities for growth.
Evolution in Sales Revenue
In the Income Statement, The Group’s revenue is represented by Revenue from Ordinary Activities, Other Revenue, and Other Earnings (Losses). Revenue increased
by 14% between 2010 and 2011, as per the following breakdown:

M.CLP$
As can be observed, the growth of mobile services continues to represent the main source of increases in the Group’s revenue.
The above, together with the focus on services with increased margins caused Ebitda to increase by Th.CLP $49 million pesos (equivalent to 15.5%).
The increase in sales mobile services was in line with growth in the customer base, both in terms of voice services and innovative value added services (VAS), and
Mobile Broadband (MBB).
For mobile services, the Group maintained its strong position sustained by higher commercial activity and service quality that helped to secure the preference of
its users. As of December 31, 2011, the customer base had 9,347,434 users, an increase of 24% with respect to the same date for the previous year. The number of
mobile broadband customers grew to 945,429, an increase of 72% over the last twelve months.
Call Center services grew as a result of increased activity, both in Chile and Peru.
Revenue from integrated voice, Internet and data networks provided to the business segment, together with IT services, have shown strong growth driven by new
customer contracts.
The reduction in long distance services was due to drop in the level of traffic and the reduction in tariffs for national services.

The growth in operating costs is largely a result of growth in the customer base and higher operations volume.
The increase in charges for depreciation is particularly relevant to mobile customers and related to strong growth in postpaid customers, as well as increased
investment in the 3.5G mobile networks, sales costs for prepaid equipment (whose numbers also saw significant growth) access charges and correspondence services associated with the increase in the level of traffic for mobile services, and sales commissions. There was also higher expenses on staffing costs, particularly
in the context of severance payments arising from the integration of the mobile and wireline areas.
Pre-Tax Profit
COMMENTS ON CASH FLOW STATEMENT
Cash generation sources have exhibited the following trends during 2010 and 2011 for each of the financial activities examined:
Operating activities saw strong growth in net revenue cash flow, rising by Th.CLP $19 million from Th.CLP $491 million to Th.CLP $510 million.
Growth in operating activities was largely a result of the item Amount Charged to Customers, which grew by 14%. This was partially offset by the increase in payments to suppliers and employees.
Investments showed an increase of Th.CLP $87 million in net outward flows from Th.CLP $318 million to Th.CLP $405 million. This increase is concentrated on
purchases of Property, Plant, and Equipment, and largely stems from investments in infrastructure and handsets for mobile services.
Finally, in terms of financing activities, there was no significant change in the net outward flows, which remained around Th.CLP $160 million. These flows tended
to compensate for the increase of Th.CLP $34 million in Dividends Paid with the reduction in flows for Net Debt and Other Cash Outgoings.
As a consequence of these changes, the final available balance at the end of each of the periods for Cash and Cash Equivalents decreased from Th.CLP $75 million
to Th.CLP $23 million, remaining at a level that satisfactorily meets the Group’s cash flow forecast.
FULFILLMENT OF COMMITMENTS
The Group companies are up to date in terms of the fulfillment of all commitments to third parties.

2) Shareholding of Coigüe in Entel Following the Merger
As a product of the Merger and subject to legally required expert reports and the agreements that must be passed by extraordinary shareholder meetings for Entel
and GTD in which the Merger will be approved, the direct and indirect shareholding of Coigüe in Entel stock will be 9.8% (Coigüe Shareholding Following the Merger).
The Coigüe Shareholding Following the Merger may only be altered: (i) as a result of a due diligence process by the GTD group and Entel and its subsidiaries (Entel
Group), whose scope and limitations will be established in the final contracts; or (ii) by any dividend payment or reduction in capital agreed after June 30, 2011, the
date of the financial information used to determine the Coigüe Shareholding Following the Merger.
The board agreed that the due diligence process for Entel should be carried out after adopting all the safeguards for access to information and confidentiality established by current legislation and the regulations of the Chilean Securities and Insurance Supervisor (SIS), authorizing the executive management and Entel attorney
to prepare the information and sign the contracts guaranteeing its provision.
3) Conditions of the Merger
The Memorandum of Intent stipulates that the Merger must meet the following conditions, in addition to any that may be present in the final contracts:

c)
An agreement will be signed by shareholders that will not represent a joint action agreement with respect to Entel and will govern matters covered by this type
of shareholder agreement, mainly related to the assignability of shares and other items regarding relationships between Altel y Coigüe in their capacity as parties
to the agreement (Agreement), which contains the following items relevant to Entel:
I.The right of Coigüe to choose one (1) director from the nine (9) directors of Entel with the support of Altel, provided it maintains a minimum percentage of stock
or meets a threshold granting it access to this right, this being established by mutual agreement in the Agreement.

agreement between Altel and Coigüe.
The board of directors agrees to begin to process the Memorandum of Intent insofar as it concerns Entel, especially regarding the provision of and handling of
information, reports, invitations to the board, and the next extraordinary shareholders meetings that must agree the Merger, and other steps and stages required,
without affecting this material being definitive and binding, for the effective signing of the announced Merger Contract.

on November 28, 2011, and reported as a material event on the same date (Memorandum of Intent).
In light of its relevance, it is deemed the agreed modification constitutes a material event for Entel, as detailed below:
1) The Memorandum of Intent reflects the willingness of Coigüe in its capacity as controller of GTD Grupo Teleductos S.A. (GTD) and Altel, to undertake the merger
by absorption of GTD (being dissolved) with Entel (remaining) (the Merger) however it does not constitute a legally binding contract.

and binding agreement before December 23, 2011, although this deadline may be extended by mutual agreement.

for the Merger to January 13, 2012.
With respect to the financial effects of the material event being disclosed on the assets, liabilities, or income for Entel, these were discussed in the material event
