Efficient Links
Excellent communications have been an important factor in Hong Kong's rise into the top rank of international financial and manufacturing centres. These have enabled the territory constantly to keep a finger on the world's pulse in finance and trade, by day and by night. This efficiency in the age of the computer and video display terminal is not confined to the business community. It applies to the public as a whole, ranging from rapid delivery of mail to the facsimile service by which a family may send birthday greetings to a relative living in the United Kingdom. The Post Office plays a central role, handling daily an average of 1.35 million letters and parcels. The Speedpost service now covers more than 250 cities, and Intelpost, introduced in 1982, is proving equally popular. The territory has over two million telephones, or around 38 sets for every 100 people, and calls by direct dialling can be made to many countries. For the Hong Kong Telephone Company Limited it represents a big advance since 1965 when telephones numbered only 250 000. International telecommunications are provided by land and submarine cables, radio systems and satellite links through the earth station at Stanley. These services are heavily used: Cable and Wireless (HK) Limited handled 36.4 million minutes of outward telex in 1983.
