Is this one government owned too? I know I should do my own research. If yes, you can't go wrong.

China has a vast untapped mobile market. Many folks don't have phones yet. Enter CHT - a provider of mobile lines. Sounds like a match made in heaven to me. To boot, it has a strong 5.2% dividend.

CHT is the only island-wide mobile wireless provider in Taiwan, and has the best reputation for reception. After tracking this for 4 consecutive up days from $19 to $20, a climb to its 52-week high of $22 seems quite likely - especially with its 5% dividend.(Disc: I don't own CHT, but would buy this as a near-term 'recession hedge')

It’s wiser to term Chunghwa Telecom as a ‘one-stop shop’ that serves all of a customer's telecom needs with the ease of one bill. Chunghwa Telecom, the only integrated provider of fixed-line, wireless, and internet/data services in Taiwan, enjoys a dominant position in each of its key business lines in telecommunications market. As measured by the number of subscribers, it lead the peers, with a market share of 40% in mobile, 85% in broadband, and more than 95% in the fixed-line segment. CHT was privatized in 2005, with the government retaining 42.2% of the company's ordinary shares.

Taiwan, with one of the highest fixed-line penetration rates in Asia, is now experiencing rapid adoption of wireless communications and internet services, including broadband access services. Consequently, mounting demand for wireless and broadband in Taiwan has offset declining fixed-line business, which has helped Chunghwa Telecom maintain growth over the past few years.

Though, the sector faces a high degree of wireless penetration i.e. 87%, the company is aiming to grab a higher market pie with the launch of its third-generation (3G) mobile services. Though, mobile services contributes about 40% of company’s revenues, but with a market share of 50%, the company's fastest-growing business unit is internet and data services. Chunghwa expects to drive future revenue growth by rolling out more customized services for broadband and wireless markets and is migrating broadband customers to higher-speed Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) services to maintain stable pricing levels.

We see CHT's defensive characteristics as prominent, given a sound estimated dividend yield for 2007, though troubled with a share-buyback effort. Cash build-up amid a debt-free balance sheet, easily cover its capital spending needs, rendering significant scope to enhance shareholder value. We think that these characteristics, combined with its extensive and high-quality networks, build Chunghwa Telecom a fair enough stock to go
