(Translation of a report originally issued in Spanish – see Note 2)
1. We have conducted a review of the interim consolidated financial situation of Telefónica Chile S.A. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and corresponding interim consolidated comprehensive income statement for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statement for the six month periods ended as of these dates, Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim consolidated financial statements and their corresponding notes as stated in International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” described in the International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”). Our responsibility is to issue a report about the interim financial situation based on our review. The attached Ratio Analysis and Significant Events do not form an integral part of these financial statements; therefore, this report does not extend to this information.
2. We have performed our review in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards established in Chile for an interim review of financial information. A review of interim financial situation primarily consists of applying analytical review procedures and inquires of employees responsible for financial and account matters. The scope of our review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Chile the objective of which is to express an opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole. Consequently, we are in no position to express an opinion on these interim consolidated financial statements.
3. Based on review, we have are not aware of any significant adjustments that should be made to interim consolidated financial mentioned in the first paragraph, in order to conform with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Report” described in the IFRS.

4. Previously we have audited, in conformity with generally accepted auditing standards in Chile, the consolidated financial statements of Telefónica Chile S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and the consolidated financial statements beginning January 1, 2008 and the corresponding consolidated income statements, statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 which Management prepared as part of the Company's process of conversion to IFRS.

Foreign currency exchange differences are recognized in income for the period under Foreign currency exchange differences.
f) Financial assets and liabilities
All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized at fair value on the negotiation date, which is the date on which the commitment to purchase or sell the asset occurs
i) Financial investments
Marketable financial assets, i.e. investments made in order to obtain short-term yields due to changes in prices, are classified within the category of at fair value with changes in income and are presented as current assets. This category is used for financial assets for which an investment and de-investment strategy is established. All financial assets included in this category are recorded at fair value, which is obtained from observable market data. The resulting gains or losses from variations in their fair value at each period-end are recognized in the income statement whether they are realized or not.
ii) Receivables
Receivables correspond to financial assets with fixed and determinable payments that are not traded in an active market. Trade receivables are recognized for the amount of the invoice and adjusted with an allowance for doubtful accounts.
The allowance is calculated by applying different percentages based on age factors until 100% is reached for debts exceeding 120 days and other specific account analyses.
Short-term trade receivables are not discounted. The Company has determined that the calculation of the amortized cost is the same as the invoiced amount since the transaction has no significant associated costs.

f) Financial assets and liabilities, continued
iii) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents recognized in the financial statements comprise cash and bank checking accounts, time deposits and other very liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. These items are recorded at their historical cost, which does not significantly differ from their realization value.
iv) Interest-bearing loans
Financial liabilities are valued at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the cash received and the reimbursement value is imputed directly to income over the term of the agreement. Financial obligations are presented as non-current liabilities when their expiration term exceeds twelve months.
v) Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to exchange rate and interest rate risks. The Companys objective in maintaining derivatives is to minimize these risks using the most effective method to eliminate or reduce the impact of these exposures.
Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value, which normally coincides with the cost, and subsequently the book value is adjusted to fair value, presenting them as financial assets or as financial liabilities depending on whether the fair value is positive or negative, respectively. They are classified as current or non-current depending on whether they mature in less or more than twelve months. Likewise, derivative financial instruments that meet all requirements to be treated as hedge instruments for long-term items are presented as non-current assets or liabilities, according to their terms.
Hedging of the risk associated to the variation of the exchange rate of a firm committed transaction can be treated as a fair value hedge or of a cash flow hedge.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that have been assigned as and fulfill the requirements to betreated as fair value hedge instruments are recognized in the income statement.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that meet the requirements of and have been assigned as cash flow hedges, being that they are highly effective, are recognized in shareholders equity. The part considered ineffective is imputed directly to income. When the forecast transaction or the firm commitment are recognized in the accounting records of a non-financial asset or liability, net income or losses accumulated in equity become part of the initial cost of the corresponding asset or liability. On the other hand, net income or losses previously recognized in equity are recognized to income in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects net income.
13
2. Significant accounting principles, continued
f) Financial assets and liabilities, continued
v) Derivate financial instruments, continued
Initially the Company formally documents the hedge relationship between the derivative and the hedged item as well as the risk management objectives and strategies pursued when establishing the hedge. This documentation includes identification of the hedge instrument, the hedged item or operation and the nature of the hedged risk. Likewise, it states the manner for evaluating its level of effectiveness in compensating the exposure of the hedged element to changes, whether in its fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged. Evaluation of the effectiveness is prospective and retroactive, both at the beginning of the hedge relationship as well as systematically throughout the period for which it was designated.
The fair value of the derivatives portfolio reflects estimations that are based on calculations made using observable market data, and specific tools for valuation and management of the risk of derivatives widely used by various financial entities.
g) Inventory
Materials for consumption and replacement are valued at their weighted average cost, or net realization value, whichever is lower.
When cash flows related to inventory purchases are the object of an effective hedge, the corresponding net income or loss accumulated in shareholders equity becomes part of the cost of the inventory acquired.
The value of products that are obsolete, defective or have a slow turnover has been reduced to their possible net realization value, which has been determined on the basis of a study of materials with slow turnover.
h) Assets of disposal group classified as held for sale
Assets of disposal group classified as held for saleare measured at the lower of the book and fair values, less the cost to sell. Assets are included in this heading when the book value can be recovered through a sales transaction which is highly likely to take place and when they are immediately available in their present condition. Management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset and must have actively begun a program to find a buyer and complete the plan. Likewise, it must be expected that the sale will qualify for full completion within a year following its classification date.
Property, plant and equipment classified as held for sale is not depreciated
14
2. Significant accounting principles, continued
i) Impairment of non-current assets
At each period-end the existence of possible impairment of non-current assets other then goodwill is evaluated. Should such indications exist, the Company estimates the recoverable value of the asset, which is the greater of fair value less cost to sell or value in use. Such value in use is determined through discounting estimated future cash flows. When an assets recoverable value is below its net book value, impairment is considered to exist.
In order to calculate impairment, the Company estimates the profitability of assets assigned to the different cash generating units based on the expected cash flows.
The discount rates used are determined before taxes and are adjusted by the corresponding country risk and business risk. Thus, in 2009 and 2008 the rate used was 12%. No impairment adjustments were made in 2009 and 2008.
j) Leases
Leased assets for which the renter maintains a significant part of the risks and benefits inherent to the rented property are considered operating leases. Payments made under agreements of this nature are charged to the income statement account in a straight-line method over the term of the lease.
Leased assets for which the significant risks and benefits characteristic of the leased property are transferred to the Company are considered financial leases and the asset and the associated debt are recorded at the beginning of the term of the lease for the amount of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum agreed installments, whichever is lower. Financial costs are charged to the income statement account over the life of the agreement. Depreciation of these assets is included in total depreciation of the Property, plant and equipment heading. The Company carries out procedures to determine whether an arrangement contains a lease. At 2009 and 2008 period-end, no embedded leases were identified.
k) Income taxes
The income tax expense for each year comprises current and deferred income taxes.
Tax credits and liabilities for the current period and prior periods are measured at the estimated amount recoverable or payable to the tax authorities. The Company uses the tax rates and government regulations current as of each period-end to calculate those amounts, which for 2009 and 2008 is 17%.
The deferred tax amount is obtained from analyzing temporary differences that arise due to differences between the tax and book values of assets and liabilities, mainly allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, staff severance indemnities and tax losses. Under Chilean tax regulations tax loss carry forwards can be realized as future tax benefits with no time restrictions.
Under Chilean tax regulations, the tax loss from prior years can be used in the future as a tax benefit without expiration.
15
2. Significant accounting principles, continued
k) Income taxes, continued
Temporary differences generally become taxable or deductible when the related asset is recovered or the related liability is settled. A deferred tax liability or asset represents the amount of tax payable or refundable in future years under the currently enacted tax laws and rates as a result of temporary differences at the end of the current year.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted at their current value and are classified as non-current.
l) Investment in related companies
The Companys investment in the companies over which it exercises significant influence without exercising control is recorded using the equity method. The investment is recorded initially at cost, and its book value is modified based on the participation in the income of the associated company at each year-end. If it records net income or losses directly in its net equity, the Company also recognizes the participation corresponding to it in those items.
m) Intangibles
The following concepts are classified in this heading:
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the surplus of the acquisition cost in comparison to the fair value as of the acquisition date of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. After initial recognition, goodwill is recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment loss.
The Company tests goodwill impairment annually and when there are indicators that the net carrying amount might not be fully recoverable. The impairment test which is based on fair value is performed for each cash generating unit for which the goodwill has been allocated. If that fair value is less than the carrying amount, an irreversible impairment loss is recognized in the income statement.
Software licenses and rights to use underwater cable
Software licenses and rights to the use of underwater cable are recorded at acquisition or production cost, less accumulated amortization and less any accumulated impairment loss.
Software licenses and rights to use underwater cable have defined useful lives and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. As of the balance sheet date there is an analysis as to whether there are events or changes that indicate that the net book value might not be recoverable, case in which impairment tests will be performed.
The methods and periods of amortization applied are reviewed at each year-end and, if necessary, are adjusted in a prospective manner.
16
2. Significant accounting principles, continued
m) Intangibles, continued
The Company amortizes intangibles assets on a straight line basis over the following estimated useful lives: 3 years for software licenses and a maximum of 15 years for rights to underwater cable.
n) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment items are valued at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation and applicable impairment losses. Land is not depreciated.
Acquisition cost includes external costs plus internal costs comprising consumption of warehouse materials, cost of direct labor used in the installation and imputation of indirect costs necessary for the intended use of the asset.
Interest and other financial costs incurred and directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, may be capitalized. Qualifying assets, under the criteria of the Telefónica Group, are assets that require at least 18 months of preparation for their use or sale. At year-end 2007 and 2008 there are no capitalized interests.
Costs for improvements that result in increased productivity, efficiency, or extension of the useful lives of assets, are capitalized as higher cost of such assets when they comply with the requirements to be recognized as an asset.
Repair and maintenance expenses are charged to the income statement account for the year in which they are incurred.
o) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment from the moment in which the assets are in a condition to be used, distributing the cost of assets in a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The Companys average annual financial depreciation rate is approximately 8.77% for 2009 and 7.79% for 2008.
The estimated useful lives are detailed as follows:
Assets | Minimum life or rate | Maximum life or rate | ||
Buildings and components | 40 | 40 | ||
Plant and equipment: | ||||
Central office telephone equipment | 7 | 12 | ||
External plant | 20 | 20 | ||
Subscribers equipment | 2 | 7 | ||
Information technology equipment | 4 | 4 | ||
Fixed installations and accessories | 7 | 7 | ||
Motor vehicles | 7 | 7 | ||
Leasehold improvements | 5 | 5 | ||
Estimated residual values, the depreciation methods and useful lives applied are reviewed at each year-end and, if applicable, are adjusted in a prospective manner.

p) Provisions
i) Post-employment benefits
The Company is obligated to pay staff severance indemnities pursuant to collective negotiation agreements, which are provisioned using the method of actuarial value of the accrued cost of the benefit, using an annual discount rate of 4.8% as of June 30, 2009 and of 6% as of March 31, 2008, respectively, as detailed in Note 4, considering estimations such as future permanence, employee mortality rate and future salary increases determined on the basis of actuarial calculations. Discount rates are determined by reference to market interest curves.
ii) Other provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation, as a consequence of a past event, whose settlement requires an output of resources that is considered probable and can be reliably estimated. That obligation can be legal or implied, derived from, among other factors, regulations, contracts, habitual practices or public commitments that create valid third-party expectations that the Company will assume certain liabilities.
q) Revenues and expenses
Revenues and expenses are recognized in the income statement on an accrual basis, i.e. to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company and can be reliably measured, regardless of the moment at which the financial payment or financing derived from it is generated.
The Companys revenues are produced mainly by providing the following telecommunications services: traffic, connection charges, monthly fees for the use of the network, interconnection, network and equipment rental, sale of equipment and other services, such as value added services (data or text messaging, among others) or maintenance. Products and services can be sold separately or jointly, in commercial packages.
Income from traffic is based on the call initiation establishment tariff plus tariffs per call, which vary depending on the time consumed by the user, the distance of the call and type of service. Traffic is recorded as income as income as it is used. The amount corresponding to traffic that has been pre-paid and is pending use generates deferred income which is recorded in liabilities. Prepaid cards usually have an expiration period of up to twelve months, and any unused prepaid traffic is recognized directly in income when the card expires, since as of that moment the Company has no remaining obligations to provide the service.
In the case of sale of traffic, as well as of other services, through a fixed tariff for a certain period of time (flat rate), income is recognized using the straight-line method over the period of time covered by the rate paid by the customer.
Income from connection charges generated when customers connect to the Companys network is deferred and recognized in income over the average estimated term of the duration of the relationship with the customer and varies depending on the type of service. All associated costs, except those related to extension of the network and administrative and commercial expenses are recognized in the income statement when they are incurred.

p) Revenues and expenses, continued
Monthly fees are recognized in income using the straight-line method in the corresponding period. Rentals and other services are recognized in income as the service is provided.
Income from interconnection of fixed-mobile and mobile-fixed calls, as well as from other services used by customers, are recognized in the period in which those calls are made.
Commercial package offers that combine different elements, in the areas of telephone service, internet and television, are analyzed to determine whether it is necessary to separate the different elements identified, applying in each case the appropriate revenue recognition criteria. Total income from the package is distributed among its identified elements by function of their respective fair values (i.e. the fair value of each individual component in relation to the total fair value of the package).
All expenses related to these mixed commercial offers are recognized in the income statement as they are incurred.
r) Significant estimates
Below we show the main assumptions, judgments and other relevant sources of uncertainty in the estimations made as of the closing date, which could have a significant effect on the financial statements in the future.
i) Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
The accounting treatment of investment in property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets considers estimations made to determine the useful lives used to calculate depreciation and amortization.
Determination of useful lives requires estimations regarding expected technological evolution and alternate uses of the assets. The hypothesis regarding the technological framework and its future development implies a significant degree of judgment as the moment and nature of future technological changes are hard to foresee.
ii) Deferred taxes
The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on estimations of future income. That recoverability depends in the last instance on the Companys capacity to generate taxable income throughout the period in which the deferred tax assets are deductible. The analysis takes into consideration the foreseen schedule for reversal of deferred tax liabilities as well as estimated taxable profits on the basis of internal projections which are updated to reflect the most recent operating trends.
Determination of the adequate classification of tax items depends on various factors including estimation of the time and realization of deferred tax assets and the expected amount of tax payments. Actual income tax collection and payment flows could result in an amount different than the estimations made by the Company as a consequence of changes in government legislation or unforeseen future transactions that could affect tax balances.

r) Significant estimates, continued
iii) Provisions
Due to the uncertainties inherent to the estimations necessary to determine the amount of provisions, real disbursements could differ from the amounts originally recognized on the basis of the estimations made.
The amount to be provisioned is determined on the basis of the best estimation of disbursements that will be necessary to cover the corresponding obligation, taking into consideration all the information available as of the closing date, including the opinion of independent experts such as legal advisors and consultants.
iv) Recognition of revenues: Agreements that combine more than one element
Commercial package offers that combine different elements are analyzed to determine whether it is necessary to separate the different elements identified, applying the appropriate revenue recognition criteria in each case. Total income from the package is distributed among its identified elements based upon their respective fair values.
Determination of the fair values of each of the elements identified implies the need to perform complex estimations due to the nature of the business.
A change in the estimation of the relative fair value could affect the distribution of revenues among the components and, as a consequence of this, revenues for future years.
v) Post-employment benefits
The cost of defined benefit post retirement plans as well as the present value of the obligation is determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the interest rates of corporate bonds in the country with an AA rating. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific country. Future salary increases and pension increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the specific country. Further details about the assumptions used are given in Note 22.
vi) Financial assets and liabilities
Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, it is determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flows model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair values of financial instruments.

s) Methods of consolidation
Consolidation has been carried out by applying the following methods of consolidation: Global integration method for companies over which control is exerted, whether through effective dominion or due to the existence of agreements with the rest of the shareholders.
All balances and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in the consolidation process. Likewise the margins included in the transactions performed by companies that are dependent on other Company companies for goods or services that can be capitalized have been eliminated in the consolidation process.
The consolidated income statement and the consolidated cash flow statement gather, respectively, the revenues and expenses and cash flows of the companies that stop forming part of the Company up to the date on which the participation has been sold or the company has been liquidated.
The value of the participation of minority shareholders in the equity and income of the dependent companies consolidated through global integration is presented under Minority Participations and Income Attributable to Minority Participations, respectively.

3. First-time application of IFRS
Telefónica Chile prepared financial statements in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in Chile (Chilean GAAP) up to the year ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements as of June 30, 2009 have been prepared under IFRS comparative to 2008.
The Company has presented financial information to its parent company in Spain under IFRS, for consolidation purposes, since the year ended December 31, 2005, considering January 1, 2004 as the transition date.
Transition of the consolidated financial statements of Telefónica Chile to IFRS has been carried out through the application of IFRS 1: First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, applying the exemption provided in paragraph 24 a), and considering first-time application adjustments retroactively from the date adopted by the parent company, Telefónica S.A., i.e. January 1, 2004.
IFRS 1 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from general requirements. The main exceptions applied by Telefónica Chile are detailed as follows:
- IFRS 3: Business Combinations has not been applied to the acquisition of subsidiaries or interest in associates that occurred prior to January 1, 2004. |
- IAS 16: Property, plant and equipment and IAS 38: Intangible assets continued to be carried at their respective carrying amounts (deemed cost) under former Chilean GAAP without restating them to fair value at January 1, 2004. |
- IAS 19: Actuarial gains and losses accumulated from pensions and other benefits have been recognized directly in retained earnings as of January 1, 2004 |
- IAS 21: Accumulated foreign currency translation from all foreign operations are considered to be zero as of January 1, 2004 |
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements under IFRS required a series of modifications in the presentation and valuation of the standards applied by the Company until December 31, 2008, since certain IFRS principles and requirements are substantially different from equivalent local accounting principles.

c) Explanations of the main differences
i) Price-level restatement
Chilean GAAP requires that the financial statements be adjusted to reflect the effect of the loss in the purchasing power of the Chilean peso in the financial position and operating income of the reporting entities. The method described below is based on a model that requires calculation of net income or loss due to net inflation attributed to the monetary assets and liabilities exposed to variations in the purchasing power of the local currency. Historical costs of non-monetary assets and liabilities, shareholders equity accounts and income statement accounts have been restated to reflect the variation in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the date of acquisition up to year-end. The gain or loss in the purchasing power included in net income or losses reflects the effects of Chilean inflation on the monetary assets and liabilities maintained by the Company.
IFRS does not consider indexation due to inflation in countries that are not hyperinflationary, such as Chile. Therefore, income statement and balance sheet accounts are not restated for inflation purposes, and variations are nominal. The effect of price-level restatement mainly affects assets, depreciation and shareholders equity items. The effects of the application of price-level restatement described above are included in the reconciliation.
ii) Deferred taxes, complementary accounts
As of January 1, 2000, the company records income tax in accordance with current provisions as of that date, recognizing (using the liabilities method) the effect of deferred taxes for temporary differences between the financial and tax base of assets and liabilities. The effects of deferred tax assets and liabilities not recorded prior to January 1, 2000, were recorded as a transition provision for each heading. Those complementary assets or liabilities are amortized against income during the estimated periods of reversal corresponding to underlying temporary differences to which deferred tax assets or liabilities are related. The effects of the complementary accounts described above are included in the reconciliation.
iii) Capitalization of interest
Under Chilean GAAP, all interest on debt directly associated to construction projects is capitalized including interest, price-level restatement, and related foreign currency results. Up to the end of 2002, all the Companys debts were considered to be directly associated with construction projects. Capitalization of interest costs associated with projects under construction is optional when they are incurred on debt that is not directly related to such projects. In 2003 under Chilean GAAP, the Company discontinued capitalization of interest on its construction in progress since it has not incurred new debts that could be associated with such construction and the short-term nature of the items that are currently being included in the category of construction in progress. Under IFRS, capitalization of interest is necessary for interest that could have been avoided if the expense for the associated asset had not been realized. Qualifying assets, under the criteria of the Telefónica Group, are assets that require at

least 18 months of preparation for their use or sale. The effects of the previously described recognized income are included in the reconciliation.
The effects of the application of price-level restatement described in the paragraph i) Property, plant and equipment and their accumulated depreciation are included in the reconciliation.
iv) Minimum dividend
In accordance with the requirements of Law No. 18,046, the Company must distribute a minimum cash dividend equivalent to 30% of net income. Considering the cash situation, projected investment levels and the solid financial indicators for 2005 and following years, on April 14, 2005, the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting modified the dividend distribution policy and agreed to distribute 100% of net income generated during the respective year. For IFRS purposes, it must be accrued to recognize the corresponding decrease in equity as of each balance sheet date. Under the previous regulations, these dividends were not recorded until they had the final approval of the Shareholders Meeting held generally in April of the following year. The effects of the adjustment of these dividends in consolidated equity are shown in the reconciliation.
v) Post-employment benefits
In employment contracts and collective negotiation agreements the Company has committed to making a lump payment to each employee upon termination of his or her employment, whether due to death, termination, resignation, or retirement. Up to November 30, 2004 the Company determined these obligations using the present value method, on the basis of current salaries and an estimation of the average working life of each employee at the end of the year, applying a 7% discount rate.
As of December 2004 the Company changed its estimation method by incorporating certain additional variables through an actuarial valuation. This method uses variables such as personnel turnover ratios, average salary increase, workforce mortality and average years of service as underlying estimations. In previous years, the costs resulting from these changes in estimations were recognized as deferred expenses and amortized over the period of future permanence of the employees. For IFRS purposes, those costs were recognized directly in retained earnings on that date. The effects of amortization of the deferred charges described above are included in the reconciliation.
During 2006, the Company evaluated the interest rate used for actuarial calculations, which resulted in a reduction of the discount rate to 6%. The cost resulting from this additional hypothesis change was deferred and amortized over the period of future permanence of employees. For IFRS purposes, those costs have been adjusted against Other Reserves in Equity.
This adjustment as well as the effects of the amortizations of the deferred described charges previously, they are included in the reconciliation.

3. First-time application of IFRS, continued
c) Explanations of the main differences, continued
vi) Effect of deferred taxes due to IFRS adjustments
Under IFRS, companies must record deferred taxes in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes, which requires a focus on assets and liabilities for the accounting and reporting of income tax under the following basic principles: (a) a deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for estimated tax purposes attributable to temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards; (b) measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on the provisions of the enacted tax law, and the effect of future changes in laws or tax rates are not anticipated; and (c) the measurement of deferred tax assets is only recognized if on the basis of the weight of the available evidence it is probable it will be realized. The effects of deferred tax assets and liabilities adjustments due to conversion are included in the reconciliation.
vii) Goodwill
Since January 1, 2004, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value, and the surplus of the purchase price of the investment over the fair value is recorded as goodwill. Under the previous standards, resulting goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over a maximum period of 20 years. The adjustment presented in the reconciliation reverses the effects of amortization of goodwill not accepted under IFRS.
4. Accounting changes
a) Accounting changes
During the periods covered by these consolidated financial statements, accounting principles have been applied consistently.
b) Changes in estimations
i) Turnover rate
During the first half of 2008 the turnover rate used to calculate staff severance indemnities was evaluated. After completing this evaluation, the Company decided to increase the turnover rate from 2.3% to 5.5% . As a result of this modification, in 2008 the Company recorded a charge to equity in the amount of ThCh$5,356,385 presented in Other Miscellaneous Reserves.

a) Lawsuit against the State of Chile
i) Having exhausted all administrative remedies aimed at correcting the illegal actions taken in the tariff setting process of 1999, in 2002 the Company filed a lawsuit for damages against the Government in the amount of ThCh$181,038,411, plus readjustments and interest, covering past and future damages incurred up to May 2004.
As of June 30, 2009, the judicial process is at the sentencing stage.

iii) The amount of damages claimed, consisting of both companies having been forced to pay to transfer their telecommunications networks due to the construction of public works concessions protected by the Concessions Law, is detailed as follows:
a.- Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A.: ThCh$1,929,207
b.- Telefónica Larga Distancia S.A.: ThCh$2,865,209
On March 24, 2008, the final first instance sentence was issued rejecting the complaint without costs. This sentence has been appealed.
b) Lawsuits
i) Voissnet S.A.
On July 12, 2007 Voissnet filed a complaint before the Antitrust Commission (TDLC) against Telefónica Chile for alleged cross subsidy in the joint commercialization of its broadband and fixed telephone services, taking advantage of its dominant position in those markets.
Telefónica Chile in its answer requested that the complaint be rejected, with costs, since the voice and broadband package offers are due to a competitive dynamic, and said that it has not incurred in practices that are contrary to the practice of free competition. The evidence stage has been completed.
On August 29, 2008, Voissnet filed a second complaint against Telefónica Chile before the TDLC, this time for alleged bundled sale in the commercialization of broadband with telephone services.
Telefónica Chile answered the complaint and requested full rejection, with costs. The TDLC decided that both processes should be combined.

ii) Manquehue Net
On June 24, 2003, Telefónica Chile filed a forced contract compliance with damage indemnity complaint against Manquehue Net in the amount of ThCh$3,647,689, in addition to the sums accrued during substantiation of the proceeding, before the mixed arbitration court of Mr. Victor Vial del Río. On the same date, Manquehue Net filed a complaint regarding compliance with discounts (in the amount of Ch$2,295 million), in addition to a complaint regarding the obligation to perform (signing of 700 service contract).
On April 11, 2005, the Arbitrator issued the first sentence accepting the complaint made by Telefónica Chile and sentencing Manquehue Net to pay approximately Ch$452 million and at the same time accepted the complaint of Manquehue Net condemning Telefónica Chile to pay Ch$1,021 million.
Telefónica Chile filed appeals against both sentences, currently pending before the Santiago court of Appeals
iii) Lawsuit filed by Telmex Servicios Empresariales S.A.
Telmex Servicios Empresariales S.A. filed a complaint before the TDLC against Telefónica Chile,for alleged anti-competition actions related to the process of awarding concession of the 3,400 3,600 MHz band for local wireless public service, requesting that it be condemned to pay a government fine in the amount of 18,000 UTA.
On January 30, 2009 the Antitrust Commission rejected the complaint, without costs. Telmex filed an appeal before the Supreme Court, which is currently pending.
Telefónica Chile and Telefónica Larga Distancia were sued by Telmex Servicios Empresariales S.A. before the TDLC (Case No. C 181-2008) for the execution of acts contrary to free competition in providing long-distance services through the Telefónica Chile prepayment card denominated Tarjeta Línea Propia (TLP), requesting a fine of Ch$9,036 million for each of the companies.
The complaint was answered, requesting full rejection, with costs.

iv) Other lawsuits
During the last quarter of 2007, resolutions passed by the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications were issued, in which fines were applied due to non-compliance with the previous resolutions, which altogether amount to Unidad Tributaria Mensual (UTM, an inflation-indexed monetary unit used for tax and fine purposes) 33,700. Telefónica Chile has filed appeals against those resolutions, which are currently in process and pending sentence. It should be noted that the resolutions consider daily fines, which as of December 31, 2007 are estimated to amount to close to UTM 1,200.
Management and its internal and external legal counsel periodically monitor the evolution of the lawsuits and contingencies affecting the Company during the normal course of its operations, analyzing in each case the possible effects on the financial statements. Based on this analysis and the information available to date, management and its legal counsel believe that it is unlikely that the Companys income and equity will be significantly affected by loss contingencies that could eventually represent significant liabilities in addition to those already recorded in the financial statements.
v) Labor lawsuits
During the normal course of operations labor lawsuits have been filed against the Company, which to date do not represent significant contingencies.
vi) Tax processes
There are certain current tax proceedings arising from settlements claimed, the amounts of which are being discussed.
c) Financial restrictions
In order to be able to develop its investment plans, the Company has obtained financing both in the local and foreign market (note 20), which establish, among other things, clauses on the maximum indebtedness that the Company can incur. The maximum debt to equity ratio established is 2.50.
Non-compliance with this clause implies that all obligations assumed in these financing contracts are considered to have expired.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company complied with the financial restriction.

27. Environment
In the opinion of management and its legal counsel and since the nature of the operations of the Company does not directly or indirectly affect the environment, as of the closing date of these financial statements, the Company has not committed resources or made payments derived from non-compliance with municipal ordinances or those of other supervising organizations.
The Company reviewed its real estate lease agreements with private entities and government agencies involving locations where certain of the Companys assets are installed, such as digital switchboards, radio stations, antennas and other equipment regarding potential obligations at the end of the term or expiratoin of the lease contract considering the term of the contracts and renewal conditions. No significant obligations were identified on the basis of these contracts since:
· The Telecommunications Law in Chile states that the Company, as a public service supplier, has a right to maintain its assets on third party property and cannot be forced to remove then without its consent.
· On the basis of historical evidence, most of the lease agreements are renewed. For the leases that were not renewed significant withdrawal costs were incurred.
28. Financial risk management
a) Competition
Telefónica Chile faces strong competition in all its business areas and believes that this high level of competitiveness will be maintained. In order to confront this situation, the Company permanently adapts its business strategies and products, seeking to satisfy the demands of its current and potential customers, innovating and developing excellence in its attention.
b) New tariff decree
Approximately 8% of the Companys income for 2009 is subject to tariff regulation. Tariff setting for the new 5 year period, beginning in May 2009, could affect its income and level of market competitiveness.
c) Technological changes
The telecommunications industry is a sector that is subject to quick and important technological progress and the introduction of new products and services. It is not possible to be certain about what the effect of such technological changes on the market or on Telefónica Chile will be or to be certain that the disbursement of significant financial resources will not be required to develop or implement new and competitive technologies, nor can the Company anticipate whether those technologies or services will be substitutive or complementary to the products and services it currently offers. Telefónica Chile is constantly evaluating the incorporation of new technologies to the business, taking into consideration both the costs and benefits.
66
28. Financial risk management, continued
d) Level of Chilean economic activity
Since the Companys operations are located in Chile, these are sensitive to and dependent on the countrys level of economic activity. In periods of low economic growth, high unemployment rates and reduced internal demand, there has been a negative impact on the local and long distance telephone traffic, as well as on the level of customer default.
e) Financial risk management objectives and polices
The Companys main financial liabilities, in addition to derivatives, comprise bank loans and bond obligations, accounts payable and other accounts payable. The main purpose of those financial liabilities is to obtain financing for the Companys operations. The Company has trade receivables, cash and short-term deposits, which arise directly from its operations. The Company also has derivative transactions.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Companys Management supervises that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with defined policies. All activities derived from risk management are carried out by specialist teams with adequate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Companys policy that there is no commercialization of derivatives for speculative purposes.
The policies for managing such risks, which are reviewed and ratified by the Board of Directors, are summarized below:
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of fluctuation in the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument due to changes in market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risks: interest rate risk, exchange rate risk and other price risks, such as equity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans, deposits, investments held for sale and derivative financial instruments.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of fluctuation in the fair value of future cash flows of a financial derivative due to changes in market interest rates. The Companys exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates is mainly related to the Companys long-term debt obligations with variable interest rates.
The Company manages its interest rate risk maintaining a balanced portfolio of loans and debts at variable and fixed interest rates. The Company has interest rate swaps in which it agrees to interchange, at certain intervals, the difference between the amounts of fixed and variable interest rates, calculated in reference to a notional agreed upon capital amount. These swaps are designated to hedge underlying debt obligations.

28. Financial risk management, continued
e) Financial risk management objectives and polices, continued
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the future fair values or cash flows of a financial instrument may fluctuate due to exchange rates. The Companys exposure to exchange variation risks is related mainly to its operating activities (when income or expenses are denominated in a currency other than the Companys functional currency). The Companys main risk lies in its obligations, and these are 100% hedged.
It is the Companys policy to negotiate the terms of hedge derivatives to match the terms of the hedged items in order to maximize the effectiveness of the hedge.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterpart may not fulfill its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, which leads to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (mainly due to receivables and credit notes) and from its financial activities, including bank deposits, transactions in foreign currency and other financial instruments.
Credit risk related to customer loans is managed in accordance with the policies, procedures and controls established by the Company to manage customer credit risk. Customer credit quality is evaluated in an ongoing manner. Outstanding customer charges are supervised. The maximum exposure to credit risk as of the report presentation date is the value of each class of financial asset.
Credit risk related to balances with banks, financial instruments and negotiable values is managed by the Finance Management Department in conformity with the Companys policies. Surplus funds are only invested with an approved counterpart and within the credit limits assigned to each entity. Counterpart limits are reviewed annually, and can be updated during the year. The limits are established to reduce counterpart risk concentration to a minimum.
Liquidity risk
The Company manages its commitments so that cash at the beginning of the year plus cash generated during the next twelve months must be capable of covering its financial obligations during the same term.
The Company monitors its risk of lack of funds using a recurrent liquidity planning tool. The Companys objective is to maintain a short-term investment profile that minimizes the need to obtain external short-term financing.
Capital management
Capital includes shares and equity attributable to the parent company less unrealized net income reserves.

Relevant Industry Aspects
During the first quarter of 2009 there was continued development of Mobile Broadband, a product offered using 3G technology by the three current mobile operators: Movistar, Entel and Claro. This service has mainly had an impact on customers that value connectivity in movement and has also reached customer segments that were not serviced by fixed broadband.
In the residential area almost all fixed operators already have package service offers (voice, broadband and TV). A similar situation can be observed in small and medium companies with offers of voice and broadband plans, while in the corporate area operators offer integrated solutions that allow companies to consolidate their IP networks to transmit voice and data and facilitate integration toward business processes based on information technology. Transversally, mobile communications have become massive in the social and corporate areas of the country.
A competition model based on network infrastructure which mainly uses ADSL, coaxial, fiber optics and wireless (3G, WiMax, PHS) was maintained at a domestic level.

3. ANALYSIS OF INCOME FOR THE PERIOD
EVOLUTION OF THE STRUCTURE OF OPERATING REVENUES AND COSTS
Operating revenue
The new revenue structure has been evolving coherently with the voice, broadband and television package services strategy, through a flexible offer where customers create the combination of services that best accommodates their needs. In this manner, the Company has managed to go from a single-service line of business to a multiservice line of business.
This is evidenced when we analyze the evolution of revenues in the period from January to June 2009 in relation to January to June 2008, where it is clearly seen that the flexibility and packaging of multiple services offered by the Company has partially offset the drop in revenues from traditional telephone services resulting in a decrease of only 3.1% in comparison to the same period in 2008.
In accordance with the comment on Operating Revenues, increased revenues from flexible plans, broadband, corporate and television businesses, have partially reverted the downward tendency of previous years and offset the drop in revenues from traditional telephone services (fixed and variable charge).
Change in Accounting Standards (implementation of IFRS in the recording of CPP)
Due to the change in accounting standards, the presentation of Fixed-Mobile Interconnection (CPP) services are considered under operating revenues and operating costs, separately, which differs from local accounting principles applied in Chile until the year ended December 31, 2008 which allowed netting of Access Charges, Interconnections and Others.
Lower income was recorded in this period related to the effect of the 46% reduction included in the fixed-mobile tariff decree.

Consolidated reasoned analysis |
Telefónica Chile and Susidiaries | 11 | |
Consolidated reasoned analysis |
Operating Costs
The Companys service structure has stabilized. This structure is composed of a variable part that is directly associated to the behavior of the BA minute plans and Pay TV which are added to the Companys fixed costs. It should be noted that for this period there is a lower cost due to the effect of the fixed-mobile tariff decree which decreased the CPP tariffs by approximately 46%, added to lower depreciation cost.
3.1 OPERATING INCOME
As of June 30, 2009, operating income reached Ch$ 40,003 million, representing a 11.3% increase in relation to operating income obtained in the same period in 2008.
A. Operating Revenues
Operating revenues in the 2009 period reached Ch$ 352,344 million, an 3.1% decrease in relation to the same period the year before, where they reached Ch$ 363,624 million. The companys strategy, focused on the change in the business structure, has allowed it to strengthen its growth in Broadband, Pay TV and Corporate Communications, which together with Flexible Plans have partly neutralized the drop in revenues from the traditional Fixed Telephony business together with the drop in revenues related to fixed-mobile tariff decree.
i. Revenues from Fixed Telephony: These revenues have decreased by 5.2% in comparison to the same period the previous year, mainly because:
Telephone Services (Voice), represents 46.7% of consolidated revenues and shows a 13.1% drop in comparison to the previous period, originated by:
Fixed charge which corresponds to the fixed monthly charge for connection to the network, with an 9.9% drop, mainly explained by migration of customers to flexible plans.
Variable charge corresponding to charges per minute (SLM), decreased by 20.9%, which shows the effect of lower revenues derived from a decrease in traffic per line and migration of customers to flexible plans.
Flexible plans the growth in customers with Flexible Plans, leveraged by migration from traditional telephone services and new customers obtained increased by 3% in comparison to the previous period.
Access charges, interconnections and others represent 16.5% of consolidated revenues and show a 25.7% decrease, mainly due to the decrease in revenues from fixed-mobile access charges, which is related to the decrease in tariffs due to the new fixed-mobile tariff decree.
ii. Broadband: Has shown sustained growth in the last few years reaching revenues of Ch$62,766 million in the 2009 period, with a 14.5% growth in comparison to the same period in 2008, mainly due to the 8.5% increase in the customer base.
Telefónica Chile and Susidiaries | 12 | |
Consolidated reasoned analysis |
iii. Pay TV: Three years after the launching of Pay TV services, revenues represent 6.4% of operating income and amounts to Ch$ 22,605 million as of June 30, 2009 in comparison to the same period in 2008 where revenues from these services amounted to Ch$ 19,006 million. The customer base has grown by 11.2% in comparison to the previous year.
iv. Long-distance Revenues: the 1.6% decrease in comparison to 2008 is fundamentally explained by the 10.1% and 4.5% decrease in domestic and international long distance, respectively. This effect was partially offset by the 22% increase in revenues for the concept of media rental and private services in comparison to the same period the previous year, mainly influenced by greater capacity rental.
Although income for the concept of international long distance services has decreased, there has been an increase in the amount of minutes assessed (see table 1 page 7), due mainly to the increase in Contracted Multicarrier revenues, whereas DLD traffic decreased y 2.3% in line with the drop in revenues.
v. Corporate Communications: This business revenue increased by 5.4% in comparison to the 2008 period, mainly due to a 28.9% increase in data services, effect that is partially offset by the 18.2% decrease in revenue from dedicated data circuits.
B. Operating Costs
Operating costs for the period reached Ch$ 312,341 million, decreasing by 4.7% in relation to the 2008 period. This is mainly explained by: i) the decrease in Other Operating Costs has been influenced by the effect of the fixed-mobile tariff decree, ii) the decrease in depreciation related to more fully depreciated assets in relation to the previous year and iii) effect that is partially offset by higher payroll expenses related to the readjustment of salaries due to collective agreement reached the first quarter of this year.

Consolidated reasoned analysis |
3.2 NON-OPERATING INCOME
Non-operating income obtained in the period ended June 30, 2009 shows a deficit of Ch$12,424 million, which implied a 25.4% decrease in comparison to the previous period. The most significant effects are generated by:
a) Foreign currency translation As of June 30, 2008 the foreign currency translation expense was ostensibly greater than this year. The main reason for this difference is that during the first half of 2008 there has a high degree of variation in the inflation rate (variation in the UF from Jan-Jun 08 = 3.2%) which had an impact on the debt denominated in UF, which during this period amounted to over 40% of total financial debt. However during the first half of 2009 over 85% of the debt after hedges was covered for the years inflation risk.
b) Financial expenses decreased by 8.7% in the 2009 period, mainly due to i) prepayment in May of the debt with Calyon Bank in the amount of US$ 100 million, ii) lower interest paid related to the progressive drop in the interest rate during the first half of the present year, iii) effect that was partially offset by the increase in interest related to the issuance of Series N and M bonds in April 2009 in the amount of UF 5 million (equivalent to Ch$106,000 million) and ThCh$ 20,500.000 respectively.
c) Other non-operating expenses increased in relation to losses due to alienation of property, plant and equipment of Telefónica Chile and its subsidiary Telefónica Multimedia.
3.3 NET RESULT FOR THE PERIOD
As of June 30, 2009, net result reached net income of Ch$ 22,483 million, whereas in the 2008 period net income reached Ch$ 17,926 million. The higher result obtained in 2009 is derived from greater operating income due to the 4.7% decrease in operating costs, in comparison to the previous period and a lower non-operating deficit, which decreased by 25.4% in relation to the previous year.
3.4 RESULTS OF THE LONG DISTANCE BUSINESS
As of June 30, 2009, the Company recorded net integral income of Ch$13,092 million, an 11.5% decrease in comparison to the same period in 2008. This effect is driven by a decrease in operating revenues in response to the contraction in the demand for Domestic Long Distance Services, mainly prepay lines for massive consumption and international hubbing. In addition there is an increase in tax expenses due to the respective deferred tax reclassifications for the current period.

Consolidated reasoned analysis |
From the previous table we emphasize the following:
The common liquidity index shows a decrease due to the 71.75% increase in current liabilities, related to unguaranteed financial obligations (Series N and M bonds) entered into during the second quarter of the present year.
The indebtedness index increased mainly due to the short-term obligations commented in the previous paragraph.
6. SYNTHESIS OF MARKET EVOLUTION

7. ANALYSIS OF MARKET RISK
Financial Risk Coverage
With the attractive foreign interest rates in certain periods, the Company has obtained financing abroad, denominated mainly in dollars and in certain cases at floating interest rates. For this reason the Company faces two types of financial risks, the risk of exchange rate fluctuations and the risk of interest rate fluctuations.
Financial risk due to foreign currency fluctuations
The Company has exchange rate coverage instruments, the purpose of which is to reduce the negative impact of the dollar fluctuations on its results. The percentage of interest bearing exposure is defined and continuously reviewed, basically considering the volatility of the exchange rate, its trend, and the cost and availability of hedging instruments for different terms.
The main hedging instruments used are Cross Currency Swaps, and UF/peso and dollar/peso exchange insurance.
As of June 30, 2009, the interest bearing debt in original currency expressed in dollars was US$ 952 million, including US$ 400 million in financial liabilities in dollars, US$ 514 million in debt in unidades de fomento and US$ 38 million in chilean pesos. In this manner US$ 400 million correspond to debt directly exposed to the variations of the dollar.
Simultaneously, the Company has Cross Currency Swaps, dollar/peso exchange insurance and assets in dollars that resulted, as of the closing of the first quarter of 2009, in close to 0% average exposure of the foreign currency financial debt.
Financial risk due to floating interest rate fluctuations
The policy for hedging interest rates seeks long-term efficiency in financial expenses. This considers fixing interest rates to the extent that these are low and allowing floating rates when the levels are high.
As of June 30, 2009 the Company ended with a local floating interest rate exposure of 47%.

Regulatory Framework
1. Tariff System
According to Law No. 18,168 (General Telecommunications Law), the prices of public telecommunications services and of intermediate telecommunications services are freely established by operators, unless there is an express qualification from the Antitrust Commission (formerly the Antitrust Resolutive Commission), stating that the conditions existing in the market are not adequate to guarantee a freedom of prices regime. In this case, the maximum tariffs for certain telecommunications services must be subject to tariff regulation.
Through Report No. 2 of January 30, 2009, the Antitrust Commission, decreed tariff freedom for the following services: Telephone Line Service (formerly Fixed Charge), Local Measured Service, Telephone Connection Charge and Public Telephones. In addition, price regulation is maintained for all companies for the services of Local Tranche, minor customer telephone services, including: disconnection and reconnection, enabling access to domestic and international long distance service, and complementary services, Detailed Local Measured Service, diagnostic visit and others. The tariff regulation for network unbundling services for all fixed companies is also maintained.
Additionally, maximum prices for interconnection services (mainly access charges for network use) are by law subject to tariff regulation for all industry operators. Tariffs are set on the basis of the procedures stipulated by that legal provision.
According to the General Telecommunications Law, the structure, level and indexation of maximum tariffs that can be charged for regulated tariff services, are set through a Supreme Decree jointly issued by the Ministries of Transportation and Telecommunications and of Economy, Development and Reconstruction (hereinafter, the Ministries).
The Ministries set the maximum tariffs on the basis of a theoretically efficient company model.
1.1. Regulated tariffs for local telephone services
Tariff Decree No. 169, for the 2004-2009 five-year period, applicable to Telefónica Chile, was approved and published in the Official Gazette on February 11, 2005, retroactive since May 6, 2004.
In accordance with the procedure established in the law for setting tariffs for the 2009-2014 five-year term, the main stages of the procedure, which are indicated below, were fulfilled and therefore the Ministries dictated supreme decree No. 57, of May 6, 2009, which sets, among other things, the services denominated Local Tranche, Access Charge and other minor local telephone services. In addition Bitstream services are regulated and on the other hand a tariff is established for the introduction of the number portability system. The mentioned tariffs come into effect retroactively as of May 7, 2009. Regarding Fixed Charge, SLM and Public Telephone (TUP) tariffs, they are subject to tariff freedom by resolution of the Antitrust Committee.

Some of the main activities of the tariff process mentioned include: i) definition of the Final Technical-Economic Bases, through Exempt Resolution No. 562, of 2008, issued by Subtel, which kept in mind the proposal made by Telefónica Chile, not requiring the formation of a Commission of Experts. The mentioned Bases define the conditions to which Telefónica Chile must adhere to submit its Tariff Study. ii) Telefónica Chile S.A. submitted the Tariff Study for the 2009-2014 period to the Ministries on November 7, 2008 iii) On March 7, 2009, the Ministries remitted the Objections and Contrapositions Report iv) Telefónica Chile requested the establishment of a Commission of Experts, which was formed on March 16, 2009 and subsequently made a unanimous pronouncement on the matters consulted by Telefónica Chile. v) On the basis of the responses of the Commission of Experts, on April 6, 2009, Telefónica Chile remitted its Modifications and Insistence Report, and vi) the Ministries subsequently dictated the mentioned Supreme Decree No. 57.
The mentioned Decree No. 57, is currently undergoing the legality control process by the General Controllership of the Republic.
1.2. Tariff Flexibility
By means of Resolution No. 709 of October 13, 2003, the then Resolutive Antitrust Commission decided to: Accept the request of Telefónica Chile S.A. only in respect to it being necessary to clarify Resolution No. 686, of May 20, 2003, in the sense that lower tariffs or different plans may be offered, but the conditions of these that protect and provide due guarantees to the user from those in dominant market positions, must be regulated by the respective authority.
The Official Gazette of February 26, 2004, published Decree No. 742, which establishes the regulation regulating the conditions under which various plans and joint offers can be offered by the dominant operators of the local public telephone service. Subsequently, through Decree No. 160, of February 26, 2007, published in the Official Gazette of May 8, 2007, the mentioned regulation was modified to eliminate certain previously required obligations. Among these is the obligation that existed as a prior condition to launch joint offers with other telecommunications services in the market, of inviting third parties as well as certain specific obligations to provide information to customers.
The tariff flexibility allows Telefónica Chile to offer its customers various commercial plans, other than the regulated plan.
Exempt Resolution No. 1,418, of November 25, 2008, issued by the Undersecretary of Telecommunications establishes the average monthly level of consumption for High Consumption Plans for 2009, leaving it without modification at the previously set level of 5,000 monthly minutes.
1.3. Tariff setting for Mobile Telephone Companies
Through decrees from the Ministries of Transportation and Telecommunications and of Economy Development and Reconstruction the maximum tariffs for access charges for the 2009-2014 period were established on January 24, 2009, in addition to modifying the hourly structure.

Telefónica Chile made the necessary adjustments in its billing systems in order for the new tariffs to be transferred to the customers, without requiring a rebilling processes, since mobile companies agreed to immediately apply the new.
2. Modifications of the Regulatory Framework
2.1. Bill creating the Panel of Experts
The purpose of the project is to create a panel of experts, of a technical nature, composed of seven professionals appointed by the Antitrust Commission which will be in charge of resolving litigations and disagreements between a Company and the regulator, in order to reduce the judicialization of various regulatory processes in the telecommunications sector.
The project is in the Senates first constitutional stage.
2.2. Bill: Network Neutrality
The Bill on Network Neutrality establishes, among other matters, that it will govern the telecommunications public service concessionaries and suppliers of Internet access, which supply access to the network. That bill prohibits arbitrary blockage, interference, discrimination, obstruction or restriction of the right of any Internet user to use, send, receive or offer any content, application or legal service through the Internet; the faculty of suppliers to take measures or actions to manage network traffic and management, as long and its purpose is not to perform actions that affect or can affect free competition; the faculty of suppliers to preserve the privacy of users, antivirus protection and network security; setting a deadline of 90 days for the Undersecretary of Telecommunications to dictate a Regulation that establishes the minimum conditions for providing Internet access services, as well as the actions that will be considered practices restricting the liberty of use of contents, applications or services provided through the Internet.
This bill is at the second constitutional stage, to be seen jointly by the Transportation and Telecommunications and Senate Economy Commissions.
2.3. Standard setting the procedure to increase the prices of local public telephone services
Through Exempt Resolution No. 2620 issued on May 20, 2009, published in the Official Gazette on June 5, 2009, Subtel established the term, format and conditions that local public telephone service concessionaries must fulfill in order to modify the service tariffs charged to subscribers. It mainly establishes that any variation in prices applied by the concessionaries that imply an increase must be informed 40 consecutive days in advance.
