Development Strategies
Facilitate the establishment of info-comm
infrastructure by the fulfillment of telecom
liberalization.
 Promote innovation and new services through
competition
 Open and promote access points to the public
 Encourage favorable local service tariff for
Internet services (i.e., special dialing number)
 Enforce cost-based tariffing in leased lines

CHT: ADSL ( 1.5M/8M), G.Lite (1.5 Mbps), IDSL (64/128K)
ADSL networks have been actively constructed since 1999. Coverage of
end-office with ADSL technology has reached 87%, and planed to reach
100% by the end of 2000. To date,
there are about 13,000 subscribers.



Broadband network deployment

19 units of ATM switch has been deployed since 1998,
76 more will be deployed by the end of 2000

SDH networks have been rolled out in the toll and local
inter-office trunk networks since 1999
Int’l interconnections

connect to 69 countries/areas and 90 operators

with total capacity of 28,525 voice circuits (64K/circuit)

Broadband Network Deployments
of the New Entrants




Adopt high technologies and flexible platform techniques
to deploy integrated broadband info-comm networks.
Construct high-capacity fiber networks to offer highspeed multimedia-type transmission.
Utilize the Internet protocol (TCP/IP) to carry voice,
data and diversified value-added services over the same
network.
Broadband local access networks:


FTTX (Fiber to the Building, Fiber to the Curb)
HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coaxial)
LMDS (Land Multi-point Distribution Services, Wireless)
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Loop)

Conclusions

E-Commerce development relies on a perfect and welldeveloped info-comm infrastructure.

To cater for the diversified and multimedia
communication needs in the information society of the
21 century, we must encourage private telecom
companies to construct modernized, broadband,
ubiguitous networks .

Liberalization and Competition will continue to provide
conducive environment for investment.

Based on greater competition and liberalization, we will
ensure that Taiwan will be broadband ready

for becoming a network-based information society
