The Senate approved the Telecommunications bill with all the reforms that telephone companies, as well as television and radio companies, had approved by consensus. The bill was sent with the new modifications back to the Chamber of Deputies. Nevertheless, the Executive Branch has said it would observe the bill, if eventually passed by the Chamber of Deputies. Senator Bautista Rojas Gómez (PLD-Salcedo) and Eduardo Estrella (PRSC-Santiago) are opposed to it. Rojas Gómez said that as approved by the Senate, the bill does not take into consideration the interests of consumers.
