Taiwan’s plans to restructure its regulation of the cable-TV industry were the focus of a day-long seminar in Taipei this month before 100 industry leaders, government officials, academics and foreign experts.
NCC Chairman Howard Shyr told delegates at the opening session that NCC saw the advance of digital technology as opening the door for development of Taiwan’s TV industries. Great changes continue to sweep the communications industry, he said, with convergence of the telecommunication and the broadcasting sectors. In this environment, NCC was seeking to use the trends for the benefit of Taiwan’s consumers and producers.
“Ensuring opportunities for varied services while improving customer satisfaction and increasing revenue are key issues,” he said.
Casbaa hosted the seminar together with Taiwan’s NCC, which is considering options for the restructuring.
During the day-long discussions, representatives of the international pay-TV industry made clear their view that Taiwan’s regulatory approach was in serious need of reform and liberalisation. With the government-imposed cable price cap fixed in place for 14 years, they said there was little incentive to develop new content or invest in new technologies for Taiwan’s TV market.
