ABC Communications (Holdings) Limited

ABC Communications (Holdings) Limited

A pioneer in mobile communications, ABC was founded by Mr. George Ho, founder of Hong Kong's first commercial broadcasting station. The Group commenced business in Hong Kong in 1971 as one of Asia's first wireless messaging operators. It co-founded in 1992 SmarTone Telecommunications Limited, which launched Asia's first GSM service in Hong Kong. In the nineties, the Group has also made strategic investments in a number of leading mobile service operators in the region including Taiwan cellular operator Far Eastone. The Group is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange ( Stock Code 30).

Through the years, ABC pioneered many real-time wireless data services including a cooperative project with Reuters to launch Asia's first alphanumeric forex and gold pager in 1984; the territory's first real-time stock pager in 1986; in 1990 another first - a wireless horse-racing data service under licence from the Hong Kong Jockey Club; and in early 1997, Asia's first high-speed wireless data service, QuickSilver, that delivered financial updates several times faster than any other wireless product then on the market.

Following the disposal of its more mature telecommunications investments in Hong Kong, ABC has since 1999 evolved from a pure mobile services company to a technology Group with close to 80% of its staff engaged in software development and information technology. The Group currently has two principal operating subsidiaries, QuotePower International Limited and ABC QuickSilver Limited
