 "Changed and Unchanged" - New Lifestyle Service Provider
This presentation will look at how CHT has transformed its strategy and tactics in the last three years. With bold moves like NGN investment, VoIP on MSN, femtocell application, CHT needed to make changes and face the challenges from CSP and other non CSP competition to maintain and grow its revenue but still keeping its promise for "Quality and Commitment to Customers".
Other achievements, such as the launch its first CSR annually book of 2008 and the impact of its "Go Green" efforts to be more environmentally friendly throughout its operations, will also be explained.
From 2006 - 2008, CHT and TMF worked together on the Catalyst Project. In 2008, CHT won the Excellence Awards - Best Catalyst Project.
Dr. Shyue-Ching Lu has been Chairman of Chunghwa Telecom since August 2008. Before that, he was the President since 1996. Prior to Chunghwa Telecom, he served as the Deputy Director General of Directorate General of Telecommunications (DGT), Director General at Department of Posts and Telecommunications, Ministry of Transportation and Communication, and Managing Director, Telecommunication Laboratory.
During these years, Dr. Lu was involved in transforming DGT, a government agency, into a state-owned enterprise- Chunghwa Telecom (CHT). After this restructuring, the state-owned CHT immediately faced the competition from liberalized mobile market. Under Dr. Lu’s leadership, CHT managed to compete effectively and maintains the leading position in the mobile market.
Dr. Lu also contributed to the privatization of CHT, when in 2003 successfully listed on the NYSE. Dr. Lu has a Ph. D degree in Electrical Engineering.
