According to a number of Taiwan media reports, taiwan's telecommunications industry caused an "earthquake", and the veteran operator Taiwan Big Brother announced the acquisition of small operator Taiwan Star for NT$28.2 billion (about 6.5 billion yuan). The acquisition was made in the form of a new share offering.
Taiwan Star is a new operator founded in the 4G era, formerly known as Weibao Telecom. From 4G to 5G, they have played the role of price butchers, but in terms of share, they have not posed a substantial threat to Chunghwa Telecom, Yuanchuan Telecom, and Taiwan's big brother.
After the merger, Taiwan's large subscribers will reach 9.77 million, surpassing the 9.13 million households of Far-Haul Telecom and the Asia-Pacific Telecommunications Union, ranking second only to the 10.67 million households of big brother Chunghwa Telecom.
At the same time, this is the closest user scale after the privatization and restructuring of Taiwan's telecom operators.
In addition, after the merger, Taiwan University has a 100HMz bandwidth, which can immediately shut down a 3G network and reduce thousands of 4G base stations, plus reduce the deployment of 5G base stations, saving more than 100 million kWh of electricity bills per year. After the merger, Taiwan's large 5G base stations will reach 11,000.
Taiwan University Chairman Cai Mingzhong said that after the merger of the two sides, a "5G Taiwan team" will be formed.
Lin Zhichen, general manager of Taiwan University, said that by 2023, Taiwan University will become the largest telecom operator in Taiwan Province by revenue.
Chunghwa Telecom responded that it is a very normal business practice to combine vertical and horizontal in the market, and it is happy to give blessings to the transaction and welcome the healthy competition in the future of the market.
At this point, the new operators emerging in Taiwan Province in the 4G era have all declared their challenges failed. Taiwan Province has once again restored the pattern of Chunghwa Telecom, Yuanchuan Telecom, and Taiwan' three-legged grandstanding. (C114 Namsan)
