This paper discusses the legal ramifications after the Supreme Court in Taiwan reviewed the National Communications Commission (NCC) Organization Act and decided the selection of the NCC Commissioners was unconstitutional (J.Y. Interpretation No. 613), and focuses on the formulation of a new selection model which could be accepted politically and legally. It will begin with a historical review of the establishment of NCC and disputes between the governing political party and the majority members of Legislative Yuan in how to manage the media industry and issues surrounding the selection of NCC commissioners, then, it will point out the obstacles to deal with old regulatory agencies which still have some uncharted authorities over the NCC jurisdiction. Additionally, there are many existing Acts such as Broadcasting, Cable, and Satellite Acts which all must be combined to face the era and challenges of media convergence. It concludes with a new model for dissolving the present legal concerns and expects that the future NCC is truly independent as it was originally designed.
