Hong Kong Broadband Network Limited, a subsidiary of City Telecom, launched a pay-TV service, forming the third pillar of its triple-play strategy. The carrier already offers broadband Internet access and local telephony on the same network. The pay-TV service initially is carrying 11 interactive channels, but has the capacity for up to 200 channels. HKBN said the visual quality is comparable to DVD quality. The service is priced at HK$98 monthly and the company is waving the cost of the set-top box and installation during a promotional period.
