A member of The Wharf (Holdings), one of the largest conglomerates in Hong Kong, it was formerly known as New T&T Limited (Chinese: 香港新電訊有限公司) and Wharf New T&T Limited (Chinese: 九倉新電訊有限公司).
History
Established in 1995 as New T&T Limited, it was one of the first telecommunication operators to be offered a fixed line license after the Hong Kong Government decided to open this market to competition; Cable & Wireless Hong Kong Telecom had heretofore enjoyed a monopoly. The next year New T&T Limited was offering IDD service and residential fixed-line services.
Making its first net profit in financial year 2001, it was soon after renamed Wharf New T&T Limited.
Another name change, in 2003, yielded Wharf T&T Limited.
By 2006, the company decided to differentiate its offerings by providing some services through a different unit; Wharf T&T would focus on business clients and subsidiary i-Cable Communications, residential ones.
In 2007, it founded Wharf T&T eBusiness Limited, a subsidiary that delivers broadband applications and web applications to SME customers.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries include COL Limited, which provides IT services to businesses having more than "36 years experience in the IT sector"; i-Cable Communications, which provides residential services; and Wharf T&T eBusiness Limited (WeB), which was established in January 2007 and is an Internet service provider catering to SMEs.
