The Government of Taiwan wants to create the world’s biggest WiMax net, for which it has formed an alliance with Intel and has contributed 209 million dollars. It aims at turning Taiwan, where the use of WiMax is very widespread, into one of the main centres of development of products based on this new technology.The country is the world’s main chip manufacturer, and its industry is specialised in laptops. Wi-Fi nodes are widely found in Taipei, and since they are provided by the Administration, most of them are free. The Government’s aim is to install Wi-Fi aerials in the island’s strategic points to offer Internet access to the 23 million of Taiwanese inhabitants.
