Significantly, HKBN has turned traditionally cost prohibitive FTTH technology into affordable mass-deployed residential service, at US$48.5 service fee for its 100Mbps access service. After the breakthrough launch of bb1000 in 2004, HKBN is again delivering the future today. Effective immediately, HKBN will offer residential FTTH broadband services ranging from 100Mbps to 1Gbps, namely, FiberHome100, FiberHome200 and FiberHome1000, at US$48.5, US$88.2 and US$215.4 respectively. ... Chairman of HKBN, Ricky Wong, said, "High speed broadband service (FTTH) is a foreseeable inevitability that we had prepared for 3 years ago. Holding onto to the belief that a service provider should deliver the best and most up-to-dated services available to the public, we are pleased to be able to launch the massively-deployed FTTH version of 100Mbps, 200Mbps and 1000Mbps in Hong Kong, which also contribute to further enhance Hong Kong's role as Asia's telecommunications hub."
