007 New T&T licence to make a killing
Article Abstract:
Fixed network operator New T&T attributed its success to its aggressive advertising of IDD 007 service. But the advertising effect may be too strong as its market survey showed customers perceived it as a primarily IDD provider. The company plans to change this perception by creating a new image as a HK$2 bn telecom network investor. As part of Wharf Group, it is able to share synergy with Wharf Cable as cable telephony has come into existence. It is reviewing its company structure and trying to establish measurement to ensure efficiency. The company only focuses on core product which is fixed network service. *
