Peter Wong, Chief Executive Officer of HGC, said: "We are proud to be the first fixed-line network operator in Asia to launch such an innovative program with partners like Senvid. Network operators should no longer compete solely on price but on creating additional value for customers through innovative ideas. We reviewed many different applications and found Senvid and the MioNet solution to deliver significant customer value at an excellent price point. We believe this strategic direction for HGC creates a significant competitive advantage and dramatically enhances our service offering.

MioNet "Lets Share" functionality provides our business customers with one of the latest productivity-enhancing applications. MioNet is the perfect complementary service for HGC as MioNet transfers data directly and securely between computers fully utilizing the symmetric nature of our high-speed fibre network. Our customers can now collaborate with the worldwide MioNet community of users who are currently sharing files, folders, and webcams. The successful launch of MioNet "Lets Share" and WorkTools@HGC in Hong Kong also creates the opportunity for potentially extending such services to our business customers in China and throughout the region," said Mr. Wong.
