The entire online IBD story is: Date: 4/27/98 Taiwan Chipmakers To Put $79 Bil Into New Facilities The investment drive, to be made over the next 13 years, will likely secure Taiwan's status as the world's top chip supplier. United Microelectronics leads the investment stampede with plans for $18.8 billion for two wafer plants. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Acer and Macronix International are among others. Projects include wafer fabrication, packaging and testing plants. Normally IBD reports in US$ unless it states otherwise. Story is in the Front Page section. $79 over 13 years or about $6B per year is probably about the same order of magnitude as INTC alone will invest during that same time. FWIW, Ian.
