Entel Chile (Abbreviation for Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones SA de Chile ) is the largest Chilean provider of telecommunications and Internet connections .

Entel was founded on August 31, 1964. In the beginning, Entel belonged to the state of Chile and was privatized in 1986.

Entel was created in 1964 on the basis of the CORFO (Corporación de Fomento de la Producción) telecommunications plan , which was supposed to ensure the transmission of data and calls over long distances. CORFO is based on a law of 1939, which deals with the state regulation of industrial tasks.

In 1968 a satellite receiving station was built in the city of Longovilo in the Región Metropolitana de Santiago . From 1970 to 1974, the television and telecommunications tower Torre Entel ( Centro Nacional de Telecomunicaciones ), Entel's telecommunications center , was built in Santiago de Chile .

After privatization, Entel PCS and EntelPhone were created in 1996, offering licenses for telephone, mobile telephony and Internet connections.
