3G And FttX At A Tipping Point To Drive ARPU
Taiwan has one of the most advanced telecommunications networks in Asia. Increasing land and labour costs have forced Taiwan to concentrate on technology, and it is now a leading high-tech centre in Asia Pacific. With excellent telecommunications infrastructure in place and the innovative use of breakthrough information technologies, the country continues to be well placed to drive both mobile and data communications services. Annual telecommunications service revenues are around NT$400 billion (US$12 billion) and investment in telecoms infrastructure remains substantial.
Market Highlights:
- Taiwan's mobile operators had signed up close to 21 million 3G subscribers going into 2012. 3G handset users account for more than 70% of all mobile subscribers;
- The new operators, Vibo and APBW gained close to 65% of net additions during 2011, increasing the pressure on the three big players;
- Chunghwa Telecom's Optical Era Project involves an investment of approximately US$1.8 billion to construct an island-wide fibre-optic network over five years. Entering 2012 the company provided fibre access to 2.4 million residential and business subscribers.
- WiMAX networks became operational in 2010 but slow uptake resulted in the first industry consolidation towards end 2011 with the original six players becoming five;
- The NCC continues to delay awarding two mobile TV licences.
