These Regulations shall become effective on the day of promulgation(2020/11/26).
In order to accomplish the goal of “facilitating fair market competition” and prevent significant market powers from abusing powers and compromising effective market competition, Article 27 of the Telecommunications Management Act specifies that “to ensure effective competition in the telecommunications service market, the competent authority is entitled to adopt control measures for significant market powers in the specific telecommunications service market if necessary,” as well as other factors to be considered when delimiting the scope of the specific telecommunications service market. Also, Article 28 defines an enterprise with significant market power and authorizes the competent authority to develop
“rules governing the significant market power determination standards, procedures and cancellation; date of promulgation; and other related matters.”
Consequently, these Regulations have been established according to Paragraph 6, Article 28 of the Telecommunications Management Act, specifying the administrative procedures for certifying significant market powers, and relevant special control measures set forth in Section 2, Chapter 3 of the Telecommunications Management Act.
With the policy goals above in mind, these Regulations specify the principles of market definitions, criteria to define significant market powers, and administrative procedures to define specific telecommunications service market and significant market powers.
