This paper, based on an analysis of the business patterns and international voice strategies of fixed and mobile operators, aims to study the international telephone markets and competition situation accorss Taiwan Strait. France Telecom is used here as a case study. The study of the period is between 1993 and 2008 which leads to the following conclusions: (1) Mainland’s efforts to balance settlement difference results in a disparity in telephone traffic load, (2) connection expense is the main cause for settlement difference, so operators depend exceeding quota on their net cost, (3) network telephone offers no free access to fixed mobile and mobile phone users, so developing countries still rely very much on traditional fixed-line service, (4) convergence is the most effective means to saving fixed mobile correspondence and increasing the value of users. Some suggestions have been made according to this study: (1) in accordance with the effect caused by fixed mobile substitution, the government should soon revise the policy of fixed mobile transferring to mobile phone connection expense and promote fair market competition, (2) due to the fact that convergence service has gradually become the mainstream, the government must team up with operators to stimulate competitive power, (3) telecoms operators should strive to join in related international alliance to construct IP speech transmission network and thus to connect with the new global network without delay.
