Dear Sirs,
LICENCE TO BUILD A SWITCHED BROADBAND NETWORK PRIMARILY BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY FOR CABLE TV

Hong Kong
Kong Telephone Telephone
intends to build a switched broadband network under the 1979 Exemption Order for the purpose of carrying Cable TV and other services. This would be available to Cable Television Hong Kong or other customers for carriage of Cable TV channels.
Hong Kong Telephone, as the exclusive franchisee for the supply and operation of public telephonic communication
in Hong Kong, owns and operates the local network providing a wide range of telephonic and non-telephonic services to the Hong Kong community. Under the terms of the 1979 Exemption for Licensing Order Hong Kong Telephone is exempted from the need to hold a licence under section 8(1) a of the Telecommunication Ordinance where Hong Kong Telephone provides a non-telephonic service using any part of the public telephone system.
The Hong Kong Telephone switched broadband network would be integrated with the existing optical fibre main trunk network and as such capable of being used in the future for new interactive two way services as and when
when these are introduced. (e.g. Teleshopping, Telebanking, Telemetry and Remote Control, Video Services, etc.)
