Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 交通運輸研究所 === 85 === Recently, the number of Internet users has been drastically increasing dueto the popularity of the commercial application of Internet. To meet the need of users, a new service - Internet Service Provider (ISP), whose main service is to provide enterprises and the public to use Internet, is developed. Therefore,realizing the characteristics of Internet users and ISP will help the providers to develop proper operation strategies. This research investigates the characteristics of Internet users and the ISP market through a questionnaire survey. The ISP market is then segmented and the strength/ weakness,opportunities/threats for each segmented market are analyzed.Operation strategies for each market are developed using SWOT analysis. Finally, fuzzy AHPis employed to combine the opinions of specialists, scholars and providers to decide the appropriate operation strategies.The result divides ISP into two types: Type I providers have backbone network framework, and the priority of their operation strategies is to enhance the network technology and functions, emphasize both on localization and internationalization,innovate marketing and cooperatewith competitors,etc.Type II providers do not have backbone network framework,so the priority of their operation strategies is to integrate network services, cooperate with relative businesses, agent selling, and organize trade alliances, etc.
