In Thailand, the market is quite
sophisticated, so we have introduced
CDMA1X, which is almost like 3G,
though not quite. Because of our
track record and pedigree (we’ve
introduced 3G not just in Hong Kong
but through our parent in Europe
and Australia), we can introduce new
technologies as they develop and at
the right time for particular markets.
At the end of the day, the customer
does not care about the kind of tech-
nology used. We are focused on being
the leader for a particular market –
delivering innovative services that are
right for those particular customers
at the time.”
With its valuable footprint in
emerging markets, Hutchison
Telecom is making an important
social impact, with many of
its customers enjoying mobile
communications for the first time at
affordable prices.
Customers in more developed
markets have also seen significant
benefits in both quality and price,
with Hutchison Telecom leading the
way in introducing the latest services
and technologies.
With a global subscriber base now
exceeding 11 million and steadily
rising revenues, Hutchison Telecom
will keep customers – and investors –
talking for a long time to come.
