Taiwan Telecommunications Industry Development Trend

The export output in 2005 is US$14.7 billion which is 96% of the total production 76% of the manufacturers output is OEM/ODM-oriented business Dual developments of broadband Internet equipment and wireless consumer communication products Growing reliance on Mainland China due to market and cost consideration Taiwans communications manufacturers are subject to the standards of US, Japan, and European countries due to the membership restriction posted on Taiwan by ITU Key components are controlled by foreign communications components suppliers and very few are made domestically
