A. A. Shabayek, Kin-man Wan · 2001
Hong Kong is an unique city in being very well served by robust communications networks; in particular the telephone and cable television networks can provide high capacity optical fibre links to virtually all premises at low cost. Hong Kong needs to make the best use of the ever-advancing information and communication network to improve products as well as services for public and private sectors. With the network in place, the missing link is integrating different elements in the system. Integrated multimedia system is an example of a niche market that is yet untapped. This paper focuses at the elements that encompass the integration of multimedia infrastructure for Hong Kong industry and service and also outlines applications demonstrating the linkage of different networks.
