Hong Kong - Convergence - Triple Play and Digital TV
The market for triple play and convergence in Hong Kong is supported by a sophisticated telecommunications infrastructure. The country has extensive DSL and cable coverage coupled with a large fibre optic footprint, a valuable precursor to consumer uptake of triple play and IPTV. Television is a substantial market in Hong Kong, with an estimated customer base of almost 2.2 million households (99%). There are over 200 domestic, regional and international TV channels broadcasting in a range of languages, including free-to-air commercial channels, pay TV channels and a variety of FTA satellite channels. Hong Kong was initially unsuccessful in its efforts to bring competition to its pay TV market, which had been dominated by i-Cable Communications. The advent of ADSL-based TV services started to change all this, however. This report provides an overview of the Hong Kong TV market, developments in digital cable and satellite TV, and an overview of the major players.

Hong Kong - E-Services
Whilst the development of e-commerce in Hong Kong has been strongly supported by government policy and legislation, the approach has been somewhat laissez-faire. The biggest boost has been via the strong general development of the Internet. After a period of sluggish growth, e-commerce is starting to grow rapidly, particularly in the area of online banking and financial services. The adoption of the Electronic Transaction Ordinance in 2000 was an important regulatory development, allowing as it did the application of digital signatures, with electronic records and digital signatures having the same legal status as paper-based counterparts. This report covers Hong Kong's e-commerce market.

Hong Kong - Fixed Network Operators
Hong Kong's very liberal telecommunications sector has seen the licensing of a large number of operators in a variety of market categories. The licensing process has started to stabilise as both the local and international telecoms markets sort themselves out. The regulator, the Office of the Telecommunications Authority (OFTA), has worked particularly hard to achieve a fully liberalised FTNS market for Hong Kong, with the final step in this process judged to have been taken in January 2003. This report provides an overview of the main players in the Hong Kong market.
