Message-Based Service in Taiwan

Abstract

The number of cellular phone subscribers has increased 107% in Taiwan, based on the Directorate General of Telecommunications reports (http://www.dgt.gov.tw/flash/index.html). Meanwhile, Internet users have reached a total of 8.8 million, and mobile Internet users have broken the record of 3 million in 2004. The combination of information and telecommunication technologies has brought people a new communication method—cellular value-added services, which have become a lucrative business for telecommunication providers in Taiwan.
