  6. e-Opportunity Action Plans Provide Digital TV Signals & reception device to Rural Areas. Provide PCs to Student Families in Rural Areas. Connect Broadband Network to All Villages. Establish Digital Opportunity Center in All Counties. Support SME Develop EC. Promote High Value Agriculture Products With EC. Support DOC in 6 APEC Economies. Train Int’l Trainers & Professionals. Minorities Rural SME Int’l

  7. Initial Outcomes • Building 50 DOCs nationwide • Broadband coverage 99.1% • Rebuild 3,200 2nd hand computers, and send them to disadvantage families. • Promote 17,000 SMBs to utilize broadband & e-Commerce Highly remote • In Hualien County Fongbin Township, the mobile medical service with the wireless technology has given doctors the ability to access the patient’s medical records and other resources in the hospital Remote 921 Rebuild project DOC project

  8. Bridging Digital Divide Internationally Russia Vietnam Philippines Papua New Guinea Peru Peru Indonesia Chile • ADOC Project is to build “Digital Opportunity Center” in Peru, Philippines, Vietnam, PNG, Indonesia, and Chile. • In the past three years, Taiwan has been assisting El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Dominican Republic to build 181 IT schools . • Also, Taiwan cooperates with Guatemala, Malawi, and Swaziland to promote IT capacity building locally.

  10. Top Issues from the citizens’ feedback Society • In an aging society, how to better protect the elder and the children ? • How to reduce the inconvenience in life with wireless technology? • How to bridge digital divide and provide digital opportunity? • How to improve our security and safety due to natural disaster and human misbehavior? • How to increase our trust on ICT and yet protect everyone’s privacy ? • How to create a better working environment and more jobs ? Security & Safety Economy

  11. Broadband Pipeline Mobile Applications and WLAN-Cellular Dual Network Gov. • Gov. Service • Surveillance • M-Traffic Service • M-Medicare • M-police WLAN/WiMAX (Wireless Broadband) Broadband Pipeline FTTH/Cable AP AP AP Enterprise • M-Commerce • Teleconf. • … Dual Network Taipei Metro Backbone Cellular ( GSM/GPRS/3G/PHS) Taichung Regional Home • Video/TV • VoIP • Video Phone • Homecare • …. Kaohsiung Metro M-Taiwan : Broadband Wireless Program (2005-2009) 30 Billion NT$ 7 Billion NT$

  12. Key Networking Technologies for Wireless MAN • Alternative Technologies for Wireless MAN • WiFi – IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n • WiMAX – IEEE 802.16-2004, 802.16-2005(802.16e) • WiFi/WiMAX Mesh • Hybrid FTTx/Cable/DSL+ WiMAX+WiFi • 3.5G(HSDPA, HSUPA) • Related Issues: - Too many to choose ? - Is the technology selection a government’s job? - When/whether to adopt a technology?

  13. QoS/Security/Trust Considerations • Alternative of Security and QoS Technologies • Data Protections (MAC layer : WPA, WEP), VPN • Authentication and Roaming: (Web-based, 802.1x EAP ) • Application-Specific Protection (VoIP, DRM) • The Network Infrastructure (AAA server, Roaming server, AP, BS, etc.) • Role of Players • Commercial Operators (Infrastructure Owner) • Virtual Network Operator/ Application Provider • Government (as a Gov. Service Provider) • End Users * Different Player/Services may demand for different levels of QoS, security, and trust

  14. Hybrid Solution for Fiber, WiMAX & WiFi • Simultaneous/hybrid use of Fiber, DSL, WiMAX and WLAN is expected to be most efficient • The use of WiFi alone required large scale deployment of WiFi Mesh or ADSL • Need the Operator to decide WiFi/WiMAX Mesh VDSL or ADSL2+ Fiber to the Curb Remote DSLAM Central Office Fiber to the Building(FTTB) WiMAX Backhaul WiFi

  15. Current Status of M-Taiwan • Establishment of Mobile Cities and Special Zone • 2 Mobile Cities • Taipei • Taichung • Public Safety Related Application services • I-Lan (Traffic/safety monitoring), Lou-Dong (Medical Service in Rural Area)、Hua-Lian (e-Medicine) • 19 Mobile Life Applications : dual-network handset applications, VoIP, etc. • Campus Roaming Project - 61+ Universities/Colleges and 300 + School Hot Spot for Mobile Learning Applications

  16. Health Care Identify/ Authentication Logistics TV Shopping Government Satellite Product Guide Terrestrial/Radio GPRS/WCDMA/ HSDPA/HSUPA WLAN/WiMax Medicine Fixed Networks: xDSL, Cable, FTTx Tour Guide Security Learning Library Information Ubiquitous Network Society: Toward the Safety and Secure Community Building a safety and secure community Satisfy Citizens’Need • Healthcare • Safety • Convenient • Amusement • Smart Traffic Information Promote Killer applications Ubiquitous Network Society

  17. The evolution path to UNS • Starting with e-Taiwan, with strong governance to form a broad national vision. • The success of e-Taiwan Program has relied on a reliable solid broadband Infrastructure and ICT tech. • e-Government as a pilot to lead the information society. M-Taiwan: Any time any where access UNS :Ubiquitous Network Society

  18. Closing Remarks • Bridging digital divide has to be based on the local culture, needs, and brings benefit to the livelihood • Creating synergy from digital service team, volunteers, and local enthusiastic residents is critical for project to success • In order to bridge digital divide and make DOC sustainable, assist community residents to make their livings by using digital information technology Digital divide is not just an ICT problem but also a social one. It should be resolved by grassroots' devotion + government guidance.
