FarEasTone Telecommunications (FarEasTone; {{zh|c=遠傳電信股份有限公司|p=Yuǎnchuán Diànxìn Gǔfèn Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī}}) is a telecommunications company based in Taiwan. It is the second largest telco in Taiwan after Chunghwa Telecom.

History

FarEasTone was founded in October 1996 by the Far Eastern Group, in a joint venture with AT&T. The company was awarded two wireless (GSM 900 and GSM 1800) service licenses in January 1997. The following year, FarEasTone launched its service and became the first company to introduce a fully integrated dual-band system.[2]{{rp|7}}

FarEasTone was the first Taiwanese company to offer the Java 32K SIM Toolkit, mobile banking, mobile commerce, real-time access to financial, entertainment and headline news, mobile fax/mail, logo download and e-coupons. In March 1999, after fourteen months in business, FarEasTone achieved one million revenue-producing customers, faster than any other GSM operator.[2]{{rp|7}}

The company was listed on the Taiwan OTC Stock Exchange in December 2001 under the ticker code 4904 and was officially listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in the electronic sector in August 2005. In September 2006, FarEasTone began providing 3G WCDMA services.[2]{{rp|7–8}}

On December 16, 2009, FarEasTone acquired WiMAX licenses,[2] and from December 22 began offering WiMAX transmission services. On October 30, 2013, Taiwan's LTE standard license bidding closed with FarEasTone paying NT$31.315 billion for the LTE frequency bands (700 MHz A2/1800 MHz C3, C4), with a total bandwidth of 30 MHz.[3] FarEasTone launched LTE services on June 3, 2014.

Mergers and acquisitions

The parent company of {{Interlanguage link multi|KG Telecom|zh|和信電訊}}, NTT Docomo, reportedly proposed in 2003 that KG Telecom and FarEasTone swap shares in a merger.[8] A deal was reached in that July,[9][10] only to fall through in August.[11] Another round of negotiations produced a second agreement in October 2003.[12][13] In April 2004, the merger was finalized,[14] and became the largest ever acquisition in the Taiwanese telecom industry.[10] In February 2005, Far EasTone bought a 55.3% stake in Arcoa. In May 2005, Far EasTone formally merged with Yuan-Ze Telecom. In May 2007, the company bought a 51% equity interest in Q-ware Communications to extend the scope of its wireless communications services.[2]

In August 2007, Singtel transferred its 24.5% stake in New Century Infocomm Tech company for a 3.5 per cent share of Far EasTone.[15] On April 30, 2009, it was announced that China Mobile would invest up to 12 per cent into the company.[16] The amount of foreign ownership was projected to be: NTT DoCoMo at 4.1 per cent, SingTel at 3.5 per cent, China Mobile at 12 per cent. On April 27, 2012, Singtel sold its 3.98% share of Far EasTone.[17] On April 18, 2013, China Mobile announced the termination of a stake in Far EasTone, though the parties signed a bilateral cooperation agreement.[18]

A Wall Street Journal article said on July 5, 2015, that there was a consortium seeking to buy cable television company {{Interlanguage link multi|China Network Systems|zh|3=中嘉網路}} from the private equity firm MBK Partners LP, led by the company and Morgan Stanley.[19]

Subscribers and market share

The total number of subscribers between the Company and KGT was 6.13 million at the end of December 2008. In the Taiwan mobile market (2 & 3G) the market shares were as follows: Chunghwa Telecom at 35%, FarEasTone at 25%, Taiwan Mobile at 24%, Asia Pacific Telecom and Vibo Telecom at 10%, and PHS at 6%.[20]{{rp|55}} The company, along with other leading Taiwan companies, has recently (April 29, 2016) been raising prices.[21]
