This study, in collaboration with Taiwan’s Institute of Economic Research, assesses Taiwan's advancement in 5G and explores the preparatory measures for 6G. Background research highlighted Taiwan’s advantageous position to adopt and develop 6G technology. The team conducted expert interviews and surveys to evaluate the state of 5G and public perceptions of 6G in Taiwan. The analysis shows that 5G still has significant work to be done, and the public is concerned about privacy and security in 6G systems. During interviews with 5G experts, the team identified the paramount importance of using densification and satellite technology to enhance connections and bridge the digital divide. Insights from the survey lead to recommendations around public transparency.
