Hong Kong is without question one of the fastest growing regions of the world in terms of data growth or in this case "explosion". Recognised as the "gateway to China" the City Country of Hong Kong already has over 15 submarine cables with numerous more being constructed or in the pipeline including Asia Pacific Gateway (APG) and the recently announced massive 120 Tbps Google/Facebook cable Pacific Light Wave. The original telecom hub around Chai Wan is now spilling over to the new tech hub of Tsueng Kwan O (TKO) which boasts over 10 new colocation data centers including Global Switch, NTT, China Unicom, China Mobile, Digital Realty/Savvis, HK Colo, Town Gas Telecom, HSBC and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Other major providers include Mega-i and HK Colo in Chai Wan and Tsuen Wan, and Equinix. HK Telecom is the incumbent with Superloop, Hutchison, Wharf T&T, and HK Broadband the other major players in the market.
