碩士 === 元智大學 === 資訊社會學研究所 === 95 === Number portability will change the telecommunication market and create a more effective environment between the incumbent and other new carriers, which will weaken the incumbent’s advantage and afford the other new carriers a better condition to enter the market. Nevertheless, in the beginning, the huge amount of number portability cost might burden the operators from actively providing the service. Some developed countries, such as the America, the United Kingdom and the Honk Kong, all have drawn up the principles of cost recovery of number portability in order to make sure the service would come to the aim of promoting the telecom market competition. With reference to Taiwan’s regulation about the cost recovery of number portability, would the regulative method effectively realize the purpose of encouraging the market competition? This is the main issue needed to be conferred in this research. This study takes the America and Hong Kong as the research reference. First, the research deeply elaborates the principles of cost recovery in the America and Hong Kong and then reviews on Taiwan’s regulation about the cost recovery. After generalizing and analyzing the outcome, it will address the suggestion of future law amendment and practicable aspect on the number portability.
