HONG KONG, Sept. 19 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- City Telecom
(HK) Limited's (NASDAQ:CTEL) wholly owned subsidiary, Hong Kong
Broadband Network Limited ("HKBN") today announced a revolution in
Hong Kong's broadband market, being the FIRST Internet service
provider in Hong Kong to launch Fiber-To-The- Home (FTTH)
residential broadband services, "FiberHome100". Significantly, HKBN
has turned traditionally cost prohibitive FTTH technology into
affordable mass-deployed residential service, at US$48.5 service
fee for its 100Mbps access service. After the breakthrough launch
of bb1000 in 2004, HKBN is again delivering the future today.
Effective immediately, HKBN will offer residential FTTH broadband
services ranging from 100Mbps to 1Gbps, namely, FiberHome100,
FiberHome200 and FiberHome1000, at US$48.5, US$88.2 and US$215.4
respectively. Living the vision of technological advancement, HKBN
will phase out our entry bb10 service (symmetric 10Mbps service),
ceasing to accept new subscriptions for this service. As such, our
entry service will now be our bb25 (25Mbps symmetric service). In
Hong Kong, as early as 2002, HKBN already envisioned the future
need for bandwidth, and invested more than HK$2 billion in network
infrastructure, set to offer symmetrical broadband service up to
1Gbps. Enabled by pioneering technologies, FTTH is the art of our
advanced network platform with minimal extra investment and upgrade
work. With the technology leap from Fiber to the Building to FTTH,
end-users can enjoy the full benefits of Future Technology today.
Not only does the use of optical fiber allow easy bandwidth upgrade
beyond 1Gbps, but the reliability of the broadband service will
also be enhanced considering the fact that optical fiber device are
passive devices that do not require electricity. HKBN is delighted
to announce yet another technological and market breakthrough.
Chairman of HKBN, Ricky Wong, said, "High speed broadband service
(FTTH) is a foreseeable inevitability that we had prepared for 3
years ago. Holding onto to the belief that a service provider
should deliver the best and most up-to-dated services available to
the public, we are pleased to be able to launch the
massively-deployed FTTH version of 100Mbps, 200Mbps and 1000Mbps in
Hong Kong, which also contribute to further enhance Hong Kong's
role as Asia's telecommunications hub." For enquiries, please
