Hong Kong has five mobile operators in a crowded market, which has continued to remain competitive through preparedness among the operators to restructure and be innovative. The number of operators has dropped from eight to five through a series of acquisitions. Competition was also given a real boost with the introduction of mobile number portability service in 1999. The vibrant market has also been well supported by the operators’ keenness to value add to their service offerings through fixed-line and mobile services. This has resulted in an increasing number of operators offering triple-play and even quadruple play services in a bid to drive up ARPU. This report provides details of the players in the Hong Kong telecommunications market together with relevant statistical information.
