NCC to draft cross-media regs

2012/9/13: The National Communications Commission (NCC) yesterday said it would set up a special task force to draft regulations governing cross-media ownership

The decision comes in the wake of calls by civic groups following protests that the Want Want China Times Group’s purchase of China Network Systems’ (CNS) cable television services would create a media monster. Calls for stricter regulatory action have intensified after media reports that Fubon Group, which already owns telecommunications and cable television services, intends to buy the Next Media Group — which includes the Chinese-language Apple Daily (Taiwan), Sharp Daily and Next Magazine — for NT$9.5 billion (US$316 million).
