let market decide number of telecom operators: democrat
Article Abstract:
Hong Kong telecom users would like to see quality improvement in fixed telecommunication network services. The Democrat party urged the government to set full liberation on Hong Kong's and external telecommunications. The number of fixed telecommunications network providers should be set by the market itself instead of the government's policy. In reality, electronic commerce, Internet telephone, IDD, video-on-demand and other value-added services have space for further development in future. Telecom operators should focus on value-added services on telephone lines rather than its conventional uses. As a result, competitions would be an incentive for growth in telecommunications market. *
