China Mobile Hong Kong Company Limited (CMHK, ) operates as a fully owned subsidiary of China Mobile. Since its inception in January 1997, it holds the distinction of being the first PCS service provider in Hong Kong and remains the region's leading telecommunications company.
History
CMHK originated in June 1994 under the name PEOPLES Telephone Company Limited and secured its PCS license by September 1996. It was a pioneer in Hong Kong, introducing the first open portal WAP service in May 2000.
On 25 February 2004, following a change in ownership to China Resources, it was renamed China Resources Peoples Telephone Company Limited. After acquisition by China Mobile in October 2005, it was rebranded as China Mobile Peoples Telephone Company Limited in April 2006. By March 2006, the company had been delisted and fully incorporated as a subsidiary of China Mobile.
The current designation, China Mobile Hong Kong Company Limited, was adopted in December 2008, while maintaining the "Peoples" brand identity.
In December 2012, CMHK achieved a global milestone by launching the first TD-LTE/LTE FDD fusion (4G) network designed for roaming. The following year saw the introduction of a new corporate brand alongside its commercial brand "and!".
