Generally speaking, Kwun Tong is characterised as an old industrial district in Hong Kong with ageing population and old buildings. The recent redevelopment plan of Kwun Tong Yue Man Fong district scheduled in 2007 might bring new business opportunities to small enterprises due to the change of economic activities and socio-demographic profile.

Sam's Forest, a small florist with 3 staff, started operation in August 2006 providing mainly flower arrangement and decoration service for business and personal functions. "I believe it is the right time to start my own business, with the encouragement of the success in the Lunar Year Fairs for 4 consecutive years," said Mr. Sam Li, owner of Sam's Forest.

As a typical SME in Hong Kong, Sam's Forest has stringent budget controls and limited resources but at the same time they have an urgent need for reliable and stable telecommunications services to help them stay competitive in the marketplace.

To survive in this competitive marketplace, Sam's Forest realised that a reliable telephone line and a fast and stable broadband are critical to receive orders for running his business daily and support his business growth. "I need a communications service provider that could provide stable Internet connection to support my online website business at an affordable price and my neighbour shop recommends Wharf T&T SUPERTONE Service to me," Sam said.

Sam's Forest uses Wharf T&T SUPERTONE SME package, including business IP voice line with free usage of Cisco IP phone and unlimited broadband Internet access. This promotion package enables Sam's Forest to enjoy high quality telecommunication infrastructure with possibility of expansion requiring no capital expenditures (CAPEX) investment on IP phone.

"Wharf T&T helps reduce our operating cost on basic infrastructure setting so that I can make a jump start on my business," added Mr. Li. "Even during the telecommunications chaos caused by undersea earthquake, our operation remains intact. We are glad to have Wharf T&T as our telecommunication partner. "
