Hammond-Chambers believes the freer Taiwan's telecom market is, the more chances manufacturing firms here will have to make equipment, generate capital and develop their own products.
In addition, he said the government must seek to create an independent regulatory body, able to make decisions in the best interest of the telecommunications sector and free from the government's agenda.
He said the "independence of the directorate general of telecommunications would represent an important step in Taiwan's evolution in telecommunications. It should then be allowed to operate as a fair and objective overseer of Taiwan's rapidly changing telecommunications environment, unimpaired by political wrangling," he said.
