Chunghwa IPTV Grows 150%

Chunghwa Telecom's IPTV subscriber base grew from 99 thousand at the end of 2005 to 249 thousand at the end of 2006, an increase of 150 percent. The number of broadband subscribers in Taiwan grew to 4.4 million. The company added 197 thousand new ADSL subscribers and 169 thousand new FTTB subscribers during the year.

Chunghwa seems to have resolved the technical issues that held it back in 2004 and 2005 and is making good progress with its MOD IPTV service. Its subscriber growth should be as good or better than last year.
