Around half of Taiwanese Internet users used broadband technology to access the Web as of July, while only 12 percent connected by means of mobile phones, according to a survey released by the Taiwan Network Information Center (????????) yesterday.
The 50-percent broadband penetration rate was unchanged compared with six months ago, a ratio that is fourth-highest in the world behind only South Korea, Hong Kong and Canada, the non-profit research center said at a press conference in Taipei.
Improvement needed
"Despite its popularity, Taiwan's broadband market still needs further improvement in several areas, including fair competition and more digital content to lure more users," said Lu Ai-chin (???), acting executive director of the center.

I don't think more than .005% of Americans have a clue how smart the Chinese are. When I was in the San Jose are back in early 80s, one could see nearly every head of the American hostpitals departmetns, corporate research labs(ATT, Bell, IBM, biotech...), Dept, of Energy, university research centers... most all were/are Chinese/Asian. Which makes a tragety that Bush has spent his 4 years doing nothing for Americas future. Spent all our money. Money that should have been spent on preparing America for the Chinese economic overthrow of America.)
