The gala launch of Hongkong Telecom's Interactive TV video-on-demand service was held last Monday night, the same evening as the Academy Awards in Los Angeles.

Like the Oscars, the iTV ceremony in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre was a star-studded event. It included Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa and Andy Lau, star of sci-fi thriller Armageddon.

In the film, Lau played a computer wizard, "Dr Ken", allegedly modelled on William Lo, managing director of Hongkong Telecom IMS and the man behind iTV.
