I wonder if this is a wireless deployment? That is probably the quickest way to deploy. If we take a page out the cellular book, where some countries skipped the landline phase almost completely and went straight to cell, will the same thing happen with broadband?
The article needs paid subscription, couldn’t read, but that is awesome how the whole country has broadband.
Chris, sorry about the paid subscription part. This came off a news alert from Google. Try searching there. There was just two paragraphs. I basically made it even shorter.
I am one of the beneficiaries of Taiwan broadband living here now for 20 years. Most is land line but there are wifi and coming wimax systems.I need to re-evaluate my isp and see which one has the best package for me now.
