Taiwanese mobile operators are aiming for mass user migration to 5G networks in 2021, following confirmation that a special government budget of approximately NT$15.5 billion has been allocated to a subsidy scheme for 5G network deployment between 2021 and 2022. It is forecasted that 5G users will account for 30% of total mobile broadband subscribers in 2021, compared with approximately 6% in 2020.

The government has confirmed the Office of Communications (Ofcom) as the regulator of the online harms regime. As Ofcom's name has been bandied around throughout the whole consultation, the decision to stick with an existing regulator is not in itself that surprising, although the final response to the Online Harms White Paper does contain some eye-catching detail, including regarding the 'teeth' that the regulator will have to bring companies into line.
