The acceptance survey is focusing on 14 counties of southern Taiwan residents. The study showed that regular people highly accepted high technology products and application services. 93.39% of 1606 interviewees have ever used broadband Internet access. Only 2.71% of 1606 interviewees used dial-up Internet access. 36.49% of 1606 interviewees have experience on wireless Internet access. On WiMAX broadband mobile broadband Internet application services acceptance survey, above 50% interviewees are on the study of eight application services.

Based on interviewees’ acceptance, WiMAX application services possibility and content are related. “Whether or not consumers’ needs are satisfied in the existing market”, it will negatively affect interviewees’ acceptance on WiMAX application services. “Product innovation, service function innovation, style improvement and price” will positively affect interviewees’ acceptance on WiMAX application services. Therefore, WiMAX operators have to find out real customers’ needs. Also, they have to develop satisfied function, easily use and convenient product to satisfy new customers and create new market. Or provide, low cost for business operation, reasonable accounting mechanism, and economical application services monthly rate, for customers’ recognition and develop business opportunities fast.
