Taiwan APBW confident on 3G success
December 17, 2002
Taiwan mobile phone operator Asia Pacific Broadband Wireless Communications
(APBW) expects its 3G business to be profitable in its first year
of operation. The operator is aiming to launch 3G services in April
next year on its cdma2000 1x network.
Wang Lin-tai, executive vice-chairman of APBW, said the firm would
be the first to adopt CDMA technology in Taiwan and also the first
to launch 3G services. He said other operators are uncertain over
their 3G progress.
APBW is looking for around 800,000 3G subscribers in the first
year and expects the number to double to more than 1.5 million the
following year.
Mr Wang is confident that consumers from other operators will switch
to their 3G network because it offers new services such as video
streaming and live TV news and stock updates. APBW is hoping 3G
services will bring the ARPU (average revenue per user) to NT$1,000
from the NT$700 to NT$800 that 2G carriers are currently receiving.
Taiwan awarded five 3G licenses in February. The other winners
were Chunghwa Telecom, Yuan-Ze Telecom (Far EasTone), Taiwan Cellular,
and Taiwan PCS.
