Taipei City has entered a new era of fourth-generation WiMax technology, wireless telecom service provider VMAX Telecom Co. Ltd. announced March 9. VMAX, licensed by the Cabinet-level National Communications Commission to offer mobile telecom services in the northern parts of Taiwan proper as well as outlying Lienchiang County, held a news conference at the Taipei City Hall yesterday. In the future, company officials said, everyone in Taipei can enjoy “broadband, high-speed and real-time” Internet services using a WiMax enabled notebook computer. Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin, who attended the conference, noted that at present 85 percent of the capital city’s population uses the Internet. This shows that the public has a huge demand for online information, he explained. The city’s efforts in building a citywide Wifly broadband network have been successful, Hau said, adding that Taipei will showcase its experience at the Expo 2010 Shanghai. Taipei is the world’s first city to launch 4G WiMax services, he said. “Taipei has become a real ‘city of technology.’”
