As Taiwan’s operating licenses for GSM 2G mobile communication will expire June 30, 2017 and 2G services will end beginning July 1, 2017, the National Communications Commission (NCC) has urged mobile telecom carriers to gradually shift their 2G subscribers to 3G or 4G through appropriate measures to make sure that the shift is smooth without causing any impacts and disputes.
There are about 500,000 2G subscribers currently, NCC said.
Appropriate measures include making 3G/4G pricing schemes available for 2G subscribers the same as or very close to charge rates specified in these subscribers’ existing contracts, and the services corresponding to 3G/4G pricing schemes should be equal or better than existing 2G ones, NCC noted.
Since Asia Pacific Telecom is setting up a GSM network on a 900MHz frequency band unit with bandwidth of 5MHz specifically for providing voice communication services for its 4G subscribers, Asia Pacific Telecom can talk with other 2G operators to absorb their subscribers as an alternative to shifting to 3G/4G.
