Taiwan expects that broadband satellite Internet service service by United Kingdom (UK)-based OneWeb would cover the entire island by the end of this year. Speaking to the Central news agency on Saturday (June 17), Taiwan's Minister of Digital Affairs Audrey Tang said the satellite service expansion would provide more options for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to Taiwan, adding OneWeb services were only available in the northern part.
