Virgin Mobile Chile

Virgin Mobile Chile is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Virgin Mobile Chile rather than just read about it. In short: Virgin Mobile Chile is a mobile network operator in Chile using the Movistar mobile network. Virgin Mobile Latin America (VMLA) launched operations in Chile in April 2012, having received regulatory approval from Chile's telecommunications regulator as well as signing an agreement with Movistar, one of the country's leading mobile network operators.

Key takeaways

Virgin Mobile Chile belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Virgin Mobile Chile to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Virgin Mobile Chile from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Virgin Mobile Chile is a mobile network operator in Chile using the Movistar mobile network. Virgin Mobile Latin America (VMLA) launched operations in Chile in April 2012, having received regulatory approval from Chile's telecommunications regulator as well as signing an agreement with Movistar, one of the country's leading mobile network operators. VMLA announced in June of this year its plan to become Latin America's leading mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). Since then, the company has made significant progress towards its goal of beginning commercial operations in many countries. Chile will be its first commercial operation in early 2012. Richard Branson commented: "We are excited to have made such good progress towards launching our first mobile business in Latin America in Chile."This is an exciting project for Virgin and we believe Virgin Mobile Chile customers will be delighted by the services we will be offering them at launch." “We are very appreciative of Subtel’s (Chile’s Subsecretaría de Telecomunicaciones) prompt approval of our application," said VMLA's chairman Phil Wallace.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Virgin Mobile Chile

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Virgin Mobile Chile claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Virgin Mobile Chile before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Virgin Mobile Chile ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Virgin Mobile Chile

In research: Virgin Mobile Chile appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Virgin Mobile Chile in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Virgin Mobile Chile is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Chilean companies established in 2012, Mobile phone companies of Chile, Telecommunications companies established in 2012, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Virgin Mobile Chile outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
