Taiwan's Internet is like this-Taiwan Internet, Taiwan, Internet, YouTube, facebook-IT information Taiwan's Internet is like this

Taiwan, which has only 23 million people of the island, though separated only by the narrow Strait of only 130-kilometer, and continental shared continental shelf, appeared totally different with the Mainland's Internet ecosystem.

Once your as "Asian Tigers" Taiwan, nowadays the development of the Internet City, three or four lines, but the city's version of Internet professionals who live there have to admiring the city's Internet boom.

Perhaps in many people's eyes, Taiwan is starting an Internet desert. However, this is a small island, but Internet is of major importance on the Mainland.

Walking in Taiwan streets, in addition to drying clothes not on the street, mainland tourists often seen walking in Puxi, Shanghai's illusion. In any case, this is China, have contacted most of the people on the continent have a strong sense of identity and interest.

Here, however, is the world of the Internet. You hardly see the city popular micro-credit, micro-blogging, iPhone, strife-riddled with Line is, Youtube, and Facebook ... ... Quick, quick, hot Internet products in China, Taiwan what it looks like?

Operator: "State" private "peaceful" coexistence

Three hour to fly from Beijing to Taipei, after cross-strait direct flights, you will find that seems out of reach of the original Taiwan is so near, but open the phone you will also find here is completely different from the Mainland's Internet presence.

No China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom, at Taipei's airport have the shortcut handling Taiwan calling card service, Taiwan five large operators: Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan mobile and far Eastone Telecommunications, Wei Bao telecommunications and Asia Pacific Telecom can be dealt with.

Asia-Pacific telecom CDMA2000 operators (compatible telecommunications mobile phone), the other four are WCDMA network (Unicom mobile phone compatible), but no China Mobile TD-SCDMA network, China Mobile users, if the Hong Kong, Macao and roaming, you can use Taiwan's GSM network, GPRS data transmission just to put up with 2.5G.

Taiwan is to allow the entry of private operators market, eco-responsible, competitive market environment is complex in the city, but the price is relatively cheap.

Far Eastone Telecommunications, 5th provisional price for 300 new Taiwan dollars (about 62.5 dollars), including NT $ 50 prepaid unlimited Internet traffic (although small 2G flow did not watch each month is enough, but no traffic restrictions on the 3G is really cool! )

Video: YouTube is what?

Online video is the Internet's largest, accounting for China's Internet and mobile Internet for the longest time, and the maximum bandwidth, the video site hit a billion of it out drama hits.

But "in video on the Web episodes of" the matter, Taiwan has not been formed of ethos: Taiwan and international standards, and strong sense of copyright does not make mainland development early pirated video content market "original sin", much less powerful video companies to aggregate most of the video content.

In Taiwan, the biggest video website is YouTube--and, as everywhere in the world, and in second place was PPS, most "play party" collection on the PC client, and spirited love Qiyi, youku, the unheralded.

Social networking: FACEBOOK and Line bisects the world

"Add my Facebook (FACEBOOK), right? "FACEBOOK has unified the Taiwan social-networking market, but FACEBOOK have unified global, so accept it and the United States, Japan and South Korea, in passing the intimacy of Taiwan was expecting.

Compared to mainland China renren and kaixin these "social networking", this market is probably Taiwan only better than the city's network services.

While in the mobile Internet field from Korea NHK Line is most popular, if you use the app to view the side of the mutt in Taipei, a great number of users are traveling to Taipei for the Mainland, and the similar micro-based communications position in the Mainland, Line and Taiwan people, especially the young of the mobile station identification number.

Figures show that in June 2013, the Line has been covering the Taiwan user 70% above, about 17 million people. Also in the nearly two years of Taiwan power actually penetration is rising, just can't get rid of subordination to the Line position for app in the popularity of Formosa, daily influx of Taiwan credited with 5,000 visitors.

Taxi software: the well-fed don't know how the

Took a taxi in Taipei is a wonderful experience.

Car clean, spacious, and waved-stop, and because the high rate of idle running, it's easy to get a taxi (Taiwan taxi). Taiwan taxi fares within 1.5 km of 70 new Taiwan dollars (about 15 million), each 300.5-meter new Taiwan dollars (about 1 million), the fee is much higher than in first-tier cities of the continent.

In Taipei, a taxi belonging to public transport, the Government also offers subsidies for drivers (similar to Beijing's subway). Good service, good cars, drivers ' income security, and Taiwan there are taxis software living space?

Different Internet companies advertise heavily with the Mainland, in addition to carrier, Taiwan rarely seen Internet advertisement, 4 days in Taipei have no more than 10 Internet advertisements, there have been a taxi software ad (the highest frequency of occurrence was millet), taxi software there are some markets in Taipei.

In Taipei, a taxi software is more for "go out and have a car waiting for", or you need to carry your bag and took a taxi to the airport. In Beijing, the software even taxi drivers are often powerless.

In terms of tariff subsidies, taxi software is quite different on both sides – on the Mainland, drops, fast race to throw money to the driver and passenger subsidy in Taiwan, passengers without subsidy, drivers have to pay to use the software by taxi, to undertake long-range passenger (Beijing, commonly known as the "great work").

Another difference is that because Taiwan is not a "PayPal" online payment products, although early NFC mobile payments, but not universal, taxi fee is still relying on the lure of cash--no mobile payment pie, take a taxi the enthusiasm of software nature also cuts, reduced to a daily application of APP.

Entrepreneurship: to adapt to the Internet thinking

In Taipei, interviewed celebrities Sina science and Technology Xu Weifeng, Xu Weifeng returned to Taipei home says a lot about Taiwan Internet startup: "Foxconn is typical of Taiwan enterprises, the other is HTC. Foundry, and relied on their money. Taiwan people have a mentality of the Islanders, relatively conservative, was adventurous enough to venture on the Internet. ”

In his view, before the popularization of the Internet, Taiwan relies on electronic contract manufacturing to achieve economic growth, Taiwan entrepreneurs cannot adapt to the Internet's thinking: "many Taiwan entrepreneurs doing business, after full competition, enterprises 5% of gross margins, have been met, and the Internet is making money in the future. ”

In Taipei a few days can be clearly felt, this is not a rush city, where the people are very warm, gentle, unlike Beijing, Taipei, Shanghai, Chengdu, it's more like, life stress, and Xu Xu freely.

"Such as millet and barely profitable hardware, Taiwan people also seem unthinkable. "Xu Weifeng believes that capital environment is Taiwan an important reason for sluggish Internet startup. Like video sites that require high investment, and profits cannot be predicted, Taiwan basically no survival in soil of local companies.

Nevertheless, Taiwan still have a bright tail of the Internet, the ray of light came from the Mainland, and the global convergence.

Compared to city, Taiwan deeper to into has global Internet, and China enterprise, also in active expand overseas market: has common of Culture Foundation, and language based and emotional identity, also has connection global of Internet and economic environment, Taiwan natural became mainland Enterprise entered international market of best springboard, from this point Shang for, Taiwan is a urgently development of Internet Virgin, is China Internet of bridgehead, and future.
