The six prospective licensees are those listed by the Joint Liaison Group in the announcement, namely, Hutchison Telephone Company Limited, Mandarin Communications Limited, New World PCS Limited, P Plus Communications Limited, Pacific Link Communications Limited and Peoples Telephone Company Limited. All of them have expressed keen interest in being offered a PCS licence.
"We are pleased to offer the licences to the six top-ranking applicants who have committed themselves to very high quality proposals. We believe their participation in the mobile industry will enhance competition and bring great benefits to existing and future customers," Mr Arena said.
The prospective licensees are requested to confirm within four weeks from today their acceptance of the offer, following which they may commence their plans to provide service in accordance with the licence requirements. They will also be required to lodge a performance bond for adherence to the commitments in their proposals.
TA will publish in full the licence, including the special licence conditions and the performance bond, of each licensee as soon as all of them have taken up the
licences.
