This is great> CDMA technology, said to offer better communication at a low price, shares radio frequencies digitally and allows many users on the network simultaneously. Hsieh declined to say how much the CDMA system would cost but said it was appropriate for Taiwan's crowded telecommunications market, where Chunghwa and six private vendors launched GSM systems under major liberalisation policies in 1998. "We have undergone a half year of evaluation which revealed good prospects and maturity of CDMA in terms of technology," he said. Hsieh said U.S. research estimated global CDMA subscriptions would swell to 65 million by 2000 from 23 million in 1998.
