| As we all know, as a general-purpose technology, information technology for today’s society acts as the body’s nervous system, and way of life for our production produced a disruptive change. Many studies have confirmed that the new information technology is the engine of economic growth, a country’s level of development of information technology and the country’s international competitiveness is closely related, therefore, in the context of trade liberalization in the information industry on how to formulate reasonable industry standards and relevant laws and regulations, good information infrastructure, the development of national information industry is particularly important.The same as with other countries, Taiwan’s telecommunications industry began to run exclusively by the government, following the United States and Japan in the1980s, the liberalization of the telecommunications industry have implemented reforms, Taiwan’s telecommunications industry has also started a process of liberalization, mainly progressively relax market access, improve competition in the industry related laws and regulations, in ten years, the telecommunications industry has boomed, therole for economic growth have become increasingly prominent, from the perspective of overall economic benefit analysis, then, the telecommunications industry invest each NTS1dollar that has increased NTS2.79dollars GDP overall effect of the domestic telecommunications industry is one of the substantial economic growth momentum.However, in2002Taiwan’s accession to WTO (Word Trade Organization, referred WTO), the telecom industry has experienced unprecedented challenges, on the one hand, WTO trade agreements inherent in the patent system makes Taiwan’s competitive advantage has been weakened, on the other hand, the liberalization of trade in services makes the telecommunications industry directly exposed to international competition, making the telecommunications industry suffered a huge impact, WTO dispute settlement cases occurring trend is increasing year by year, the fact that Taiwan’s existing telecommunications industry standards and related industries policies must adapt to make adjustments to the WTO framework to promote the development of Taiwan’s telecom industry and to further realize its pivotal role in Taiwan’s economy.It is membership in this paper for Taiwan’s accession to the WTO, the liberalization of trade in services in the context of the impact on the telecommunications industry carried out a detailed analysis, we selected Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile FET and three telecom companies representatives, using data envelopment analysis, examines three companies from AD2000to AD2012technical efficiency and scale efficiency, technical efficiency was found to perspective, Taiwan’s telecommunications industry, three major telecom operators the average overall efficiency is95.1%, which means that Taiwan’s three major telecom operators in the industry that can improve business performance space for about4.9percent of room for improvement in order to achieve maximum efficiency of the average total. Because of this improvement compared to26%a decade ago to have made great progress, but its growth rate has been slowing down phenomenon. Observation on the scale efficiency-oriented Taiwan three indicative operators to invest resources overall operating result of approximately0.1%of inefficiency, which means that Taiwan’s telecom market has grown to saturation level.The first problem is Taiwan’s telecom industry market trading mechanism and liberalization policy has been a complete planning and related regulations could not keep up the pace of technological progress, this paper liberalization of the telecommunications industry in Taiwan road the problems and coping strategies were detail. As the telecommunications industry itself characteristics and the next year is expected to release fourth-generation broadband communication services spectrum and operating licenses, how to get rid of the current difficulties faced by the telecom industry, which includes how to improve technical efficiency and scale efficiency of operations needed to improve environment and industrial structure constraints, while changes in these factors will affect this year will be apparent willingness to compete for spectrum licenses and operations teams have far-reaching value judgments. Taiwan is currently the most obvious first question is how the spectrum licenses and licenses of the spectrum of the resulting value of the spectrum after the judgment and whether free trade and other market trading mechanism and Telecom Act three methods discussed how technology related with dressing and other issues, this Taiwan’s telecommunications capacity problems and whether the direction of the future development and integration of advanced countries have a profound impact.The second problem is to solve the last mile network mechanism, because this problem with new customers get the absolute impossibility of inter-relationships, which is the new fixed-line operators are the lifeblood of customer and market expansion in the telecommunications network architecture capture network operators to enter the user terminal equipment must be connected via a user retrieves the last mile network, however, by the year2000by the Department of Taiwan’s telecom industry DGT (China Telecom (shares) liberalization of the predecessor company) monopolized by each user to use any telecommunications service are provided this paragraph must be unconditionally line, so at this stage China Telecom provides local telephone penetration rate is close to99%, in other words, China Telecom has a monopoly last mile network users to retrieve close to99%, unless it is the year2000after the construction of the building has no free carriers obligations. since Taiwan opened the fixed line market since the year2000, but at that moment all the new operators to enter the market in the last mile unable to break through, the new building last mile network to obtain shipping cost and subsequent maintenance with far higher than expected, although the new telecom operators in this harsh environment struggling for a decade, and finally in the year2010finally acquired by commercial extinguished, so that the current fixed-line market is still a monopoly operator of the phenomenon still continued, which is Taiwan’s users have been burdened with first-class telecommunications charges but have to accept the three streams of network quality of service can not solve the crux of the phenomenon, which will be telecommunications market to solve an important mechanism for joint oligopoly.Finally, is the digital convergence policy must be adjusted as soon as possible, so as not to cause the investment decision-makers at a loss wavering, became Taiwan’s cable TV market is determined with the letter market obstacles, especially digital content service providers in the cable television industry has been confined to the bulk. As the broadband telecommunications industry has naturally monopolistic characteristics, features vertical integration, the public nature of the three major characteristics of the community, the cable industry with similar characteristics. Because Taiwan’s digital convergence wavering policy making digital content size and content of the service will have a huge swing, and in order to enhance the value of the telecommunications industry services to meet the global telecommunications industry development trends, so when the telecom industry policy can not be ignored There are three main characteristics of the telecommunications industry structure, whereby the transmission network must be explored important-the cable industry. How to cable television systems into telecommunications networks to form a more complete transmission network shall have full consideration, in other words, this trend must observe harmony services provided by the network to the user’s point of view, must not be due to the use of different phenomenon of network technology to provide services that meet users’ usage behavior change must occur, so after careful study of the production of electrical cable transmission network, found that the two issues must be discussed regulatory side, one of which is the obligation of equality continuation of its Second, the subscriber loop open obligations. And if the technology could face two major network systems integration this can dramatically reduce the threshold of new entrants into the industry, in other words, the market can be integrated into more service providers. Another face is in the cable industry in the digital content services are also waiting for the digital convergence method can be trimmed to provide services in the telecommunications transmission network for service users, where the meaning is the quality of content and digital services diverse, as is the use of the transmission network is not the focus of telecommunications transport networks or cable systems. So if they can effectively transfer the effective integration of the physical network and thus reduce the distress produced in Taiwan broadband telecommunications operators to solve the threshold and repeat investment will significantly enhance the value of Taiwan’s broadband telecom industry. |
