"Taiwan has been very progressive in its efforts to liberalise the telecommunications industry and to create a positive regulatory regime. Despite the odd bout of bureaucratic bickering, structural reforms have been achieved. At the same time, Taiwan's telecommunication infrastructure has been upgraded significantly, undergoing a series of network modernisation projects over the last decade or so.
Internet growth has been phenomenal in Taiwan. The proportion of the population who are Internet users has exceeded 65%. Some 80% of all homes in Taiwan own PCs and around 70% of homes have Internet connections. The market has moved rapidly away from dial-up access to broadband, mainly on DSL subscriptions, and over 60% of all Internet connections are broadband. The government has committed the country to being on a par with the US by 2010. Going into 2008 broadband penetration had been lifted to over 20%. There are a large number of ISPs, although a handful of big ones continue to dominate the market. For more information, see chapter 6.1, page 32.
Taiwan's mobile market has been a remarkable phenomenon. By early 2002, the country had reached the milestone of one mobile service for every person on the island. After peaking at a penetration of 114% in late 2003, the penetration was sitting at around 105% going into 2008.
Consistent with the performance of its impressive mobile sector, Taiwan moved energetically into the 'next generation' of mobile services. Following the awarding of five licences for 3G services in 2002, one of the new licensees, APBW, launched its CDMA2000 1x service in 2003. The market newcomer passed the 'one million subscribers' milestone in late 2006, having grown fivefold in just three years. Three other 3G licensees launched their 3G services in 2005 and now account for nearly 15% of the total mobile subscriber base.
