Abstract :
Telecommunications in Taiwan dates back more than 100 years and is provided by a government-owned organization. With the worldwide trend of liberalization and globalization of the telecom business, Taiwan cannot isolate itself from the international arena and must face the challenge of increased competition. The author first introduces the current status of the telecommunications industry in Taiwan, and then describes some technical innovations and a series of policies implemented by the government. In addition, telecom service projects and future prospects are also presented
