Large OTT TV operators subject to new regulations under NCC’s latest draft actBy Shelley Shan / Staff reporterLarge over-the-top (OTT) television operators would be required to register with the government and subject to other special obligations under a new draft act regulating Internet audiovisual services (網際網路視聽服務法草案), the National Communications Commission (NCC) said yesterday. The OTT TV operators regulated by the draft act are those that establish service bases in Taiwan or have substantial ties with the nation, he said. The draft stipulates obligations common to all OTT TV operators and obligations that only apply to registered operators, Wong said. Overseas operators without local agents or operators failing to register as required would face penalties, he said. The draft act provides tax incentives for operators that produce local content, as long as the incentives comply with tax laws, Wong added.
