Digital United, commonly known as SeedNet, is a Taiwanese Internet service provider based in Taipei. The service offers broadband services, including fiber-optic internet and ADSL connections.
It was first a Project SEED (Software Engineering Environment Development), sponsored by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and operated by the Institute for Information Industry to push-start Taiwan's local Internet market.[citation needed]
Digital United was established in 2000.[1] Its major shareholders were Far Eastern Textile (20%), Asia Cement (20%), Singtel (18%), Uni-President Enterprises Corporation (10%), and China Development Industrial Bank (10%).[2] In November, GigaMedia, a subsidiary of the Koos Group, was said to be interested in acquiring the service.[3]
In 2005, Digital United launched a VoIP telephony service using the SIP-based network of American internet service TelTel.[4] In August 2007, Singtel transferred its 24.5% stake in the provider for a 3.5% share of Far EasTone.[5] Later that year, Digital United launched an online music platform to provide value-added services to its broadband Internet access customers.[6]
