Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan’s largest phones and broadband internet company, unveiled an investment and production slate of two new series and two movies on Tuesday, the first day of the Taiwan Creative Content Fest.

The new titles are part of the giant firm’s effort to build out the creative industries ecosystem and follow a year on from a co-financing deal with Taiwan’s ministry of culture. “Chunghwa Telecom is not just a platform and internet service.

We need to support the content industry,” said Hu Hsueh-hai, president of consumer products. Asserting that “content is king, and channels are queen,” Hu explained the company’s three goals for 2025 in the content sector.

These are to support high-quality content, support top-quality distribution channels (the company claims 10 million mobile users and 4 million fixed-line broadband households); and to prioritize sound business models.
