Taiwan APBW confident on 3G success December 16, 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. 3gnewsroom.com
