HKBN Wins Dual Awards from Telecom Asia Awards 2018

Best Broadband Carrier and Best MVNO across 14 Asia/Pacific Markets

HONG KONG, June 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- HKBN Group ("HKBN" or the "Group") is proud to announce the win of two prestigious awards - Best Broadband Carrier and Best Mobile Virtual Network Operator ("MVNO") - from Telecom Asia Awards 2018.

Telecom Asia Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious telecom industry awards in Asia Pacific, which aim to recognise excellence in innovation and achievements in the industry. Shortlist from this year's Telecom Asia Awards includes 54 telecom companies across 14 Asia-Pacific markets nominated by Telecom Asia readers, editors and an independent judging panel. The winners were chosen by the independent judging panel on the basis of innovation, financial performance, technology, market leadership and corporate governance.

HKBN is the fourth-time winner of the Best Broadband Carrier Award and a new champion of the Best MVNO Award. HKBN Co-Owner and COO NiQ Lai said, "These prestigious awards recognise our strong growth and continued efforts to bring disruptive innovations and benefits to both our residential and corporate customers. Our Co-Ownership aligns the interests of our Talents and shareholders, and therefore HKBN is run with an 'owner' and entrepreneurial mindset for outstanding business execution to exceed customer and investor expectations."

"We hope these awards will inspire other new entrants to take a far more disruptive approach in their home markets, rather than a traditional mini-incumbent-me-too market positioning. In living our core purpose to 'make our Hong Kong a better place to live', we hope to inspire the world to become a better place to live, via better-value telecom services," added Lai.
