Key Message

==> picture [21 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [21 x 18] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [21 x 18] intentionally omitted <==

Taiwan Mobile will be the only telco among the big three in Taiwan to be able to have partnerships on 5G network/spectrum sharing and create incremental benefits. 60MHz of spectrum in the 3.5GHz frequency band is sufficient for Taiwan Mobile’s 5G business in the next ten years. In due course, we won’t have capex inefficiency issues that others may encounter.

We believe we have a sensible 5G winning strategy in view that our total 5G spectrum and capex spend in the 20-year spectrum concession period may be the least among the big three without sacrificing 5G network quality. Progressing on the 5G journey, our overarching goal is to maximize related investment returns.
