Taiwan s DSL broadband market began to accelerate rapidly last year, with 130,000 ADSL subscribers in December, and roughly 300,000 by April. Broadband s phenomenal growth is making it the main stream of the Internet access market, said Trend Micro s CEO Steve Chang. When Trend Micro anticipated the industry s direction, we drew on our core competencies, such as central management technology, and the specialized skills we developed in the Internet antivirus market, to create our GateLock broadband solution. In the past, we had great success with on-line virus scanning delivered through HiNet to its subscribers, Chang continued. Now we re thrilled to be working with Taiwan s telecommunications giant Chunghwa again a great beginning for Trend Micro in the 21 st century.
