In the light of the UK's pro-competitive stance on
telecommunications and determination to ensure that overseas
Governments open up their own markets, it would be extremely
difficult for Ministers to press the Hong Kong Government to
continue Cable & Wireless's current monopoly position.
However, Ministers should be aware of the importance of the
Hong Kong telecommunications market to Cable & Wireless and
their equipment suppliers and the considerable UK interest, at
stake. If the Hong Kong Government moves to end the current
monopoly, these interests are likely to lobby DTI Ministers to
intervene on their behalf.
