The Internet and Its Legal Ramifications in Taiwan
The Internet and its Legal Ramifications in Taiwan George C.C. Chen* INTRODUCTION The growth of the Internet over the last decade has been an astonishing phenomenon. Used by only a few academics in the late 1980s, it now has up to 65 million users worldwide.' Taiwan has followed the Internet trend eagerly, and already has approximately 500,000 users. Ever since United States Vice President, Albert Gore announced the U.S. National Information Infrastructure (Nil) project in Septem- ber 1993, many other countries have followed suit, initiating similar projects to establish a comprehensive information infrastructure. Many governments regard such development as a prerequisite for continuing national advancement in the 21 st century, and view success in this area as closely tied to the competitiveness of a nation's industry and the welfare of its people. In order to promote such a project, in June 1994, the Republic of China on Taiwan (hereinafter referred to as Taiwan) established an NII Special Project Committee2 (hereinafter referred to as the NII Committee) under the Executive Yuan.3 Under the NII Committee's direction, many activities are underway that are intended to serve as the foundation of Taiwan's development into a regional * Attorney-at-law; Director of Science & Technology Law Center (STLC), Institute for Information Industry in Taiwan; Secretary General of the Information Product Anti-Piracy Alliance of the Republic of China; Legal Member of the Private Sector Advisory Committee on National Information Infrastructure (NII) in Taiwan. STLC is Taiwan's only research organization fully focused on Internet and NII related legal issues. -

Analysis and AssessmentFor Iraqi Communication Technology
International Journal of Social Sciences & Educational Studies ISSN 2409-1294 (Print), September 2015, Vol.2, No.1 Analysis and Assessment for Iraqi Communication Technology Development Marwan Al-Khalidy1 1 Department of Law, Ishik University, Erbil, Iraq Correspondence: Marwan Al-Khalidy, Ishik University, Erbil, Iraq. E-mail: [email protected] Received: June 20, 2015 Accepted: August 21, 2015 Online Published: September 1, 2015 Abstract: The communications in Iraq has been fluctuated for decades. In fact, this fluctuation constitutes a reality that the country has been facing such as the security issues, the economic blockade imposed on the previous regime, and all the exceptional circumstances. This paper illustrates the nature and reality of communication in Iraq after 2003. While the sophisticated technology works very well all around the world, Iraq still does not keep the work up to improve its communications. This paper tackles the most important communication problems in Iraq after 2003, and the possibility to process good services to customers, either by developing the governmental combinations, or/and by enforcing telecommunication companies to provide their best services to their customers. This paper answers the following the questions: Are the telecom/communication companies serve good qualities to the customers? If not, why? Who is the responsible? Are these companies at least doing their best to serve good qualities? Or are they just profitable companies? Why have these companies not started using the optical fiber cables instead of the copper one? Is the government seeking to compel such companies to serve good services? Whether the Iraqi government plans to develop the landlines services so it would compete with the telecom companies? What is the role of the Communication and Media Commission (CMC)? Keywords: Telecommunications Companies, Landlines development, Optical Fiber Cables, Copper Cables, Communication and Media Commission, Costumers Services. -
