With China now one of the most important centres for manufacturing, CPCNet chief executive Stephen Ho Wai-chung said high-speed, cheap network access to southern China would become increasingly important.
China, he said, would become connected to the world, just as the world was being connected to China.
'China has become the world's manufacturing zone. Things in China have now become incredibly frantic because of China's entry into the WTO [World Trade Organisation]. Many industrialised countries are there now,' he said.
To emphasise that CPCNet's expertise was not merely technology-centred, the company shouted it from its Web page. 'Our Web site says: 'Connecting the world to China',' said Mr Ho.
CPCNet specialises in managed networks, running virtual private networks (VPNs) on standard Internet-protocol (IP) technology - a much cheaper solution than using a leased line.
'We have been able to convince regional companies to work with us. The business of creating secure VPNs is encouraging. Right now we have seven pops [points of presence] in China, serving more than 30 cities,' he said.
