PCCW Mobile HK Limited previously known as Mandarin Communications Limited, was a subsidiary of PCCW (via HKT) involving mobile network operator of 2G and 3G in Hong Kong. It was previously owned by a Caymans-incorporated Hong Kong listed company Sunday Communications until 2006.
The company also owned the license of internet service provider and international direct dialing of Hong Kong.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]PCCW Mobile HK, previously known as "Mandarin Communications"[2] (registered Chinese name 匯亞通訊有限公司;[2] trading as SUNDAY[3]), was a Hong Kong company that was incorporated in 1994. Mandarin Communications launched its 2G GSM 1800 network in 1997.[4][non-primary source needed]
Mandarin Communications was a subsidiary of the listed company Sunday Communications since 2000. In 2004, the company signed a contract with Huawei, a Chinese telecommunications company, for the supply and installation of a 3G network to SUNDAY,[5] as well as purchasing the shares of its parent company Sunday Communications.[6] The group acquired the 3G license of Hong Kong via Sunday 3G (Hong Kong) Limited (stylized as SUNDAY 3G),[7][8] a wholly owned subsidiary of Mandarin Communications.[1]
However, the parent company, Sunday Communications, was acquired by PCCW in 2005,[9] and the subsidiary, Mandarin Communications, was renamed to "PCCW Mobile HK Limited" in 2007,[2] after Sunday Communications selling Mandarin Communications and other businesses to its parent company in 2006.[10][non-primary source needed] PCCW made this acquisition to return to mobile business after it sold Hong Kong CSL Limited to Australia's Telstra in 2001–02.[11][12]
Nevertheless, after PCCW, via its subsidiary HKT, re-acquired CSL (known as a different legal person, CSL Limited, at that time) and its parent company CSL New World Mobility from Telstra and New World Development in December 2013,[13][14][15][16] PCCW ceased to use the brand PCCW in its mobile network operator services, which the legal person of PCCW Mobile HK was renamed to CSL Mobile Limited instead, in 2014.[2][17][non-primary source needed]
