Launch of bb100 broadband + bbWi-Fi + Samsung GALAXY Tab
GlobeNewswire
2010-11-15


HONG KONG, Nov. 11, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- City Telecom (H.K.)
Limited (HKSE:1137) (Nasdaq:CTEL) and wholly owned subsidiary, Hong
Kong Broadband Network Limited (HKBN) is pleased to announce the launch
of a phenomenal value service package for symmetric 100Mbps broadband,
bbWi-Fi and a perfectly sized 7-inch display - Samsung GALAXY Tab at
HK$269/month (US$35).

In 2004, when we launched our symmetric 100Mbps and 1Gbps to the home
services, broadband was mainly used to connect to a single family PC.
Today, our homes are seeing a proliferation of multiple internet
enabled devices such as individual PCs and laptops, IP-TV, smart phones
and tablets, IP video cameras, game consoles, Wi-Fi TV etc. Compelling
priced at HK$169/month (US$22) and HK$199/month (US$26) for our
standalone 100Mbps and 1Gbps services, the question now becomes "Why
not enjoy this extra bandwidth?", from legacy thinking of "Why do I
need this extra bandwidth?"

"Today, we are pleased to launch pervasive service packages that
include our Fibre-based broadband service, home & outdoor Wi-Fi,
bundled with the latest 7-inch mobile tablet Samsung GALAXY Tab
(http://galaxytab.samsungmobile.com/). Today, the technical
specification of current Wi-Fi '802.11n' standard far exceeds the
limitations of popular legacy xDSL broadband services in Hong Kong,
which are commonly limited to 8Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload.
Upgrading to HKBN's Fibre-based symmetric 100Mbps or 1Gbps broadband
service is the best way to unleash the power of popular smart phones
and tablets, especially in a multiple internet enabled devices home
setting that is so common today," June Lam, Associate Director of
Consumer and Corporate Marketing.
