History
Established on 16 February 1995 as a subsidiary under New World Development, New World PCS introduced the New World Mobility brand in 1997. By 2004, ownership of the MNO was held by New World Development through its publicly traded intermediate holding company, New World Mobile Holdings. Before this arrangement, New World PCS Holdings—directly overseeing New World PCS—and New World Telecommunications functioned as sister entities under New World Telephone Holdings, which was itself a subsidiary of New World Development.
In 2006, NWPCS combined operations with Hong Kong CSL to create CSL New World Mobility, an intermediate holding company with a share distribution of 76.4% owned by Telstra and 23.6% by New World Development. This consolidation terminated NWPCS’s status as a direct subsidiary of both New World Mobile Holdings and New World Development.
By 2008, the company formerly known as New World PCS Limited adopted the name CSL Limited, while the previous CSL entity became its subsidiary. Nevertheless, the New World Mobility brand persisted under New World Mobility Limited—a joint venture involving CSL Limited—until it transitioned into Sun Mobile in 2014.
