National Communications Commission (NCC) denied punishing users of parallel import Wiis |
Ó
The National Communications Commission (NCC) has denied that it ever said it would punish users of parallel import Wiis. The whole confusion started when commission spokesperson Howard Shyr stated that the government needed to check and
certify products such as Wiis. This was to insure that the products do
not
interfere with any telecommunications system or pose health hazards.
Certain media representatives misinterpreted this statement to mean
that the NCC would
penalize Wii users.Obviously, this is not the case as Mr. Shyr responded to this issue by saying "Regulating consumers' use of the product and the importation of electronics equipment are two different things." He followed up on this by adding, "We have made it clear that we do not punish consumers. Should they have any doubts, they should check if there is any legal certification label attached to the products."
Despite the recent issue regarding the Nintendo Wii, Taiwan's sole distributor (Hakuyu Ltd.) still could not confirm when the long-awaited game console would hit local shelves. Wii gamers in Taiwan have turned online to import the consoles from various dealers. If it's any consolation to those in Asia waiting for a local release, the Wii has not been released anywhere in Asia except in Japan (which happened December 2006).
