Hong Kong Mobile - History and Development

Hutchison Telecommunications (Hong Kong) Limited (“Hutchison Telecom Hong Kong” or “HTHK”) launched one of the first mobile telecommunications networks in Hong Kong in 1983 and over the next 20 years built one of the largest and most successful 2G mobile network in Hong Kong – one of the most competitive mobile markets in the world.

Hutchison Telecom Hong Kong launched the market’s first 3G network using the 3 brand, with our network rapidly expanding to reach over 99% of the territory. In a highly competitive market such as Hong Kong, differentiation is crucial. The ability to deliver reliable and innovative new services, like 3G, to the entire territory is important to our customers and critical to the success of our business. With over 2.5 million combined customers and about 1.15 million 3G customers as at 31 March 2008, 3 is a leading telecommunications business and the number one provider of 3G services in the territory.
