Looking for clues: 1) They once were in trials with C&W cwplc.com 2) HKT 54% owned by C&W hkt.com 3) Guangdong and NN newbridge.com 4) Hunan and NN newbridge.com And considering: <<<Hongkong Telecom is 54 per cent owned by Cable and Wireless plc. Other major shareholders are China Everbright Holidings Company Limited, a significant enterprise under the leadership of the State Council of the PRC, at 7.6 per cent and China Telecom, the major telecoms oprator of China Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, at 5.4 per cent. The remaining shares are public, held by both local and international investors. Shares are listed on the Hong Kong, New York and Pacific stock exchanges. Hongkong Telecom last year had turnover of HK$33 billion (US$4.2 billion), and has market capitalisation of some HK$220 billion (US$28 billion)>>> this is perhaps the most likely tie to the rumor since NN does have a contract with Hunan Province in China and it's likely C&W is involved at some level. 5) C&W uses MainStreetXpress newbridge.com 6) List of NN's presence globally newbridge.com As for the rumor, I'd dismiss it until it's given credence by an official announcement.
