Taiwan – The nation’s telecom association, led by Chunghwa Telecom Co has inked memorandums of understanding with its Chinese counterpart to enhance cooperation in various areas, including building undersea cables across the Taiwan Strait, according to the Taipei Times. Taiwan Telecommunications Industry Development Association said it had reached a major consensus with China’s telecom association, whose members include China Mobile Ltd, to build a mechanism for telecom companies in Taiwan and China to exchange information and to collaborate. The associations said they would support telecom companies providing voice roaming on 3G technology and to cooperate in providing more value-added services, the Taiwanese association said in a statement. More companies are pursuing cross-strait cooperation opportunities since China launched its 3G services last year.
