Taiwan's largest mobile carrier introduces MMS to fuel 3G


HONG KONG, Feb 13, 2003 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- Taiwan Cellular Corporation
(TCC) , the largest mobile carrier on the island, is introducing high- speed
multimedia services like video and audio streaming to fuel its growth within the
next few years, Taiwan media reported.

TCC was looking at rolling out its third-generation wireless system this year,
although no fixed timetable had been set yet, the company said.

TCC Vice President Julian J.H. Lee told local media that TCC is going to launch
a WCDMA (wireless code division multiple access) standard for 3G.

"We are also going to see a lot of new applications, especially on data
transmissions services, to enter the market," Lee said.

TCC Chief Executive Officer Joseph Lee said he expected "a little bit" of growth
in the wireless operator's business this year.

With a customer base of 6.2 million people, the company would stick to its tried
and tested strategy to retain and attract clients, he added.
