Taiwan's National Communications Commission (NCC) on July 7 came up with a draft new regulation on setting up and operating mobile communication base stations which adds provisions specifically for femtocells to facilitate installation of such home-use wireless access points to improve indoor transmission of mobile communication signals, according to NCC.
The NCC will hold public hearings to discuss the draft rules and expects to propose a final version in two to three months, the agency indicated.
Of about five million household users of fixed-line broadband Internet-access service in Taiwan, 40% may be willing to install femtocells, equivalent to about two million potential users, according to Chunghwa Telecom (CHT). CHT has trial-run networks of femtocells supplied by Alcatel-Lucent and Sagem and expects to start sales promotion of femtocells as early as the end of 2010, the company noted.
