The Taiwanese government is looking to award six 4G licences by 2013, two years ahead of schedule, according to local website CENS.com.
The government was previously expected to wait until July 2015 to issue those licences because it was planning to retrieve spectrum for 2G operations that expire in June 2015, explained the report.
By bringing forward the date for the issuance of licences, the government is reportedly hoping to catch up with South Korea, where 4G services are being rolled out.
Taiwan is looking to offer capacity in either the 700 MHz band, currently utilised by the military, or in the 2.6 GHz band, which is unallocated.
The chosen spectrum will be allocated alongside frequencies in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz, currently used for 2G operations, wrote CENS.com.
