Another piece in today's Financial Times on PCCW.

The URL for the FT is

ft.com

It crashes my computer. But maybe someone else would try it and see what's on FT online. The Lex Column's heading is "King Kong." Here's an excerpt from the first para of the piece:

"In many way, Pacific Centry Cyberwork's $36bn takeover of Hong Kong Telecom is even more remarkable than America Online's acquistion of Time Warner... The victory is a stunning coup for Richard Li, Pacific centrry's controlling shareholder, who has not only traded his highly valued paper for hard assets but also furthers his grand ambition: to offer broadband interactive services across Asia."

Here's another relevant URL.
