TAIWAN'S INTERNET USERS TOTAL 14.76 MLN IN 2007: III
Monday February 4, 2008, 11:15 am
TAIPEI, Feb 4 Asia Pulse - The number of Internet users in Taiwan reached 14.76 million in 2007, an increase of 1.7 per cent over the year-earlier level, the Institute for Information Industry (III) estimated Saturday.
The estimate was based on a survey conducted last August by the institute's Foreseeing Innovative New Digiservices, which revealed that 64.4 per cent of individuals in Taiwan have access to the Internet, up 0.6 percentage points from the previous year.
Internet use is more common among residents in northern Taiwan than in other parts of the country, with 66 per cent of northern Taiwan residents and 73.6 per cent of those in Taipei City being Internet users, the survey results show.
Home was mentioned by 88.2 per cent of users as where they usually use the Internet, compared with offices by 33.7 per cent of users and schools or research institutes by 25.5 per cent of users. Less than 16 per cent of users said they use Internet cafes or other public establishments for surfing the Web.
Respondents who had used the Internet at home during the month before the survey was conducted went online on 21.8 days of the month on average, with each spending an average of 16 hours online per week.
Classifying home Internet users according the amount of time they spend online, 43 per cent are defined as heavy users who are online more than two hours per day and 31.9 per cent are light users who are online no more than one hour per day.
The survey, carried out last Aug. 4-23, was part of a study on the status of broadband, mobile and wireless use among Taiwan households in 2007. A total of 2,751 households responded to the survey.

New Delhi - With Internet speed slowing to a crawl across much of India, some of the country's call centers have been forced to close up shop for hours, if not days. One airline has added extra staff to its telephone service – assuming that many of its customers will no longer be able to book flights over the Internet.
The disruption of service resulted from breaks last week in three vital undersea Internet cables that connect South Asia to the outside world. By and large, India's technology and call-center industries have weathered the crisis well, reverting to backup satellite systems, or different routes along undamaged cables.
But for the average consumer, as well as for smaller businesses that lack substantial resources, the "impact has been horrendous," says Deepak Gupta of the Business Process Industry Association of India, which works with many of India's outsourcing firms.
Early estimates suggested that half of India's Internet capacity vanished after the first two cable lines were cut Wednesday. In other countries, such as Egypt, the figure was as high as 70 percent. The two Mediterranean cables cut Wednesday carry the bulk of the region's Internet traffic, and the cables may have been cut by ships that dropped anchor out of port because of storms.
Much of this traffic has now been rerouted along Pacific cables. Because of the redirected traffic, a third cable cut, discovered Friday in the Gulf region, has had no effect. Some 90 percent of India's bandwidth has been restored and cable repairs are expected to take two weeks, but bad weather has prevented a repair ship from setting off to mend one of the cables.
For some businesses, the cut meant a slightly degraded service – poorer reception for call-centers that use Internet telephony, for example. But for larger businesses that carry the bulk of outsourcing from the United States and Europe, there was virtually no disruption.
"We have diversity in path and providers globally, and hence we have not lost any connectivity to our offices or customers," according to an e-mailed statement by Infosys, one of India's largest Information Technology companies.
The impact has been greatest on the average Indian Web surfer, who saw delays increase dramatically, as well as small to mid-size outsourcing operations. Some of these call centers have been closed for days, says Mr. Gupta. Using Internet cables for phone conversations requires huge capacity. When that capacity diminishes and there is no backup plan, Gupta says: "You can't hold a conversation."
On the first day after the cut, one of India's largest papers, the Hindustan Times could not run the daily stock quotes because of the crash. SpiceJet, a low-cost Indian airline has doubled the number of employees at its telephone call center, anticipating problems with online booking.
For the most part, experts say, Indian companies have coped well and have learned the lessons of a similar cut that occurred along the Pacific route during a 2006 earthquake.
"This is a reminder of the need to come up with redundancy plans," says Rajesh Chharia, president of the Internet Service Providers' Association of India. "This problem should not happen again."

Internet Governance
"Internet governance" is a broad term used in many different contexts, applying to activities as diverse as coordination of technical standards, operation of critical infrastructure, development, regulation, and legislation, among others. Internet governance is not restricted to the activities of governments. Many different types of stakeholders have a role in defining and carrying out Internet governance activities and ISOC has always been an active leader in such discussions.
World attention turned to the concepts of Internet governance with the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), held in Geneva 2003 and Tunis 2005, and the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), which the United Nations created to continue the work of WSIS. While WSIS was convened within formal international protocols, the IGF is intended to bring together stakeholders from government, industry, and civil society to discuss Internet governance issues. IGF will consist of annual meetings between 2006 and 2010, with discussions on a range of important issues in the areas of ICTs, the Internet, and economic development.
The Internet Society has been fully engaged in the Internet governance debate since the very first discussion, as a firm advocate of multi-stakeholder, democratic, and transparent participation.
