Taiwan Mobile once again applied to NCC for an extension on the deadline to return excess spectrum, but the request was rejected by the NCC commission on June 27th. With the countdown to the June 31st deadline for returning 10MHz of excess spectrum approaching, the outcome is highly anticipated. Taiwan Mobile has indicated that the lawsuit is ongoing and will continue to communicate with the NCC and the National Communications Commission on this matter. Taiwan Mobile is facing penalties for non-compliance, with potential fines of up to 30 million NT dollars and a maximum penalty of 5 million NT dollars if the excessive spectrum use continues after July 1st. Last year, the NCC allowed Taiwan Mobile to merge with Taiwan Star and Far EasTone to correct excess spectrum by the end of June this year. Taiwan Mobile has yet to return the 10MHz of excess spectrum below 1GHz.
