What IDICAMChile - Cámara Chilena de Infraestructura Digital does

IDICAM Chile - Cámara Chilena de Infraestructura Digital is a membership-based trade association (cámara gremial) founded in 2019 and headquartered in Santiago, Chile. It serves as the principal industry body representing Chile's digital infrastructure sector, with a member roster that spans telecommunications operators (Claro Telefónica, VTR Mobile, Mundo Pacífico), global tower companies (American Tower/ATC Chile, SBA Communications), fiber operators (ONNETFIBRA, Ufinet, Internexa), the national research and education network (Reuna), and academic and digital inclusion organizations (Instituto INACAP, Infocap Jesuitas Chile). The organization's stated mission is to promote financing for digital infrastructure investment in low-coverage areas, democratize technology access, and communicate the socioeconomic impact of telecommunications.

The association operates through policy advocacy, direct regulatory engagement with SUBTEL (Chile's telecom regulator), Senate committees, the Ministry of Energy, and municipal governments, and convening multi-stakeholder initiatives such as the Ley Chao Cables (Law 21.172) cable management and public space recovery program. Its core offerings are membership services and a portfolio of owned media channels including a blog (Blog IDICAM), a video library (Videoteca), the "Chile Tecnológico" podcast on Spotify, and an email newsletter. The association has 5 employees and is led by President Rodrigo Ramírez Pino, former Viceminister of Telecommunications of Chile, and Executive Director Corina Gómez.

Its business model is membership dues-based; no fees are publicly disclosed and there is no commercial product revenue. Engagement with public policy is the primary value driver, with the organization functioning as the recognized convening and advocacy body at the intersection of government, private capital, and public interest in Chilean digital infrastructure.
