Wharf T&T Limited (Chinese: 九倉電訊有限公司), is, as of 2010, the second largest fixed line telecommunication operator in Hong Kong.[1]

History
Established in 1995 as New T&T Limited,[2] it was one of the first[citation needed] telecommunication operators to be offered a fixed line license after the Hong Kong Government decided to open this market to competition;[6] Cable & Wireless Hong Kong Telecom had heretofore enjoyed a monopoly.[4] The next year New T&T Limited was offering IDD service and residential fixed-line services.[7]
Making its first net profit in financial year 2001,[8] it was soon after renamed Wharf New T&T Limited.[9]
Another name change, in 2003, yielded Wharf T&T Limited.[10]
By 2006, the company decided to differentiate its offerings by providing some services through a different unit; Wharf T&T would focus on business clients and subsidiary i-Cable Communications, residential ones.[11]
In 2007, it founded Wharf T&T eBusiness Limited, a subsidiary that delivers broadband applications and web applications to SME customers.[12]
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries include COL Limited, which provides IT services to businesses having more than "36 years experience in the IT sector";[2] i-Cable Communications, which provides residential services;[11] and Wharf T&T eBusiness Limited (WeB), which was established in January 2007 and is an Internet service provider catering to SMEs.[2]
