officially renamed Hutchison Global Communications
Hong Kong, 20 August 2002 - Hutchison Global Crossing has changed its English name to Hutchison Global Communications ("HGC"). HGC's Chinese name "
" remains unchanged. The change in the company name has no impact on the existing contracts, businesses, or day-to-day operations of the company.
The change follows Hutchison Whampoa Limited ("HWL") repurchase of Asia Global Crossing's 50% interest in HGC in April 2002. Following the repurchase, HGC has become a wholly owned subsidiary of HWL.
As in the past, HGC will continue to expand its full fibre optic network and provide to customers a wide range of innovative telecom services including ultra-high speed broadband access, data and voice transmission and international calling services.
