years AGO

April 1936 DECENTLY the Hong- kong Government grant- ed the Hongkong Telephono Co Ltd a franchise for ex- perimental purposes. to operate telephone-radio Hervice in the Colony.

The service offered the public was one whereby the hired Telephone Company out loud speaker sets to subscribers who then ceived the radio programme by telephone wire instead of picking them up themselves from the air.

Reception

re-

was therefore always constant and free from interference, and other disabilities.

The subscriber was not put to the expense of buy-

his own ing

radio set, though he was required to obtain a licence in the same WAY as independent lig- teners.

For this service the Telephone Company charged $4 per month and the

attractive scheme was those who wanted only local programmes at a small cost And less trouble.

to

It is now learned that the franchise has been with- drawn and the experiment will be terminated as from the end of this year.

Government yesterday offered no reasons as to the withdrawal, but it is under- stood that Government con- siders that the Telephone Company has not made the fullest use of the franchise. So far as is known there is the no other candidate for franchise and so the pro- mised service in to lapse.
