Smartone - Customer Growth Improves but Remains Sluggish
Smartone is Hong Kong's smallest mobile network by customer numbers, with 11.0% market share at the end of 2008. Its total customer base reached 1.14m, up from 1.11m at the end of 2007, with proportionate growth of 2.8% in the year.

Hong Kong networks to get additional GSM spectrum
Hong Kong's telecoms regulator, the Office of the Telecommunications Authority (ofta) has recently received applications from the operators of the country's GSM networks, requesting the Telecommunications Authority to assign to them spectrum which is currently unused in the bands for 2G services. The reason for the request is that the assigned spectrum (i.e. 7.5 MHz x 2 for PMRS based on the GSM standard and 10 MHz x 2 for PCS) has already been fully utilized in the networks and it would be difficult for them to further re-use the assigned carriers particularly in the Golden Bowl areas. As a result, the network capacity would not be able to cope with the increased traffic demand arising from higher speed data services without sacrificing the service quality. more
