Shortly after in May 2019, the then-newly appointed NCC acting chairperson said the commission would propose a bill for regulating OTT media services. On an aspirational level, some stakeholders perhaps see the bill as a legal instrument specifically for streaming services to potentially stem piracy. Both the bill unveiled in June 2020 and the new bill, as presented in NCC statements, refer to this objective. For understandable reasons, the government has been careful about how “local content requirements” are worded. The existence of “made in Taiwan” content on Netflix and Disney+, again in the absence of government requirements, also suggests otherwise.
