Introducing cable television into Hong Kong: Political and economic implications

Tuen-yu Lau

Telecommunications Policy, 1988, vol. 12, issue 4, 379-392

Abstract: This paper seeks to evaluate and predict the impact of the introduction of cable television into Hong Kong, a densely populated and highly dynamic Asian metropolis currently under British administration. The discussion will focus on how the coming of cable communication will impact on the ownership and economic structure of the broadcasting industry, with particular reference to international participation; public policy issues concerning economic structure and programming of the cable system; and the implications for the period of Hong Kong's political transition from the UK to China.
