Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong, which runs the city’s second-largest wireless network operator, is heating up the market for next-generation mobile services with an over-the-top deal backed by Television Broadcasts (TVB).

The two companies said on Tuesday that TVB’s mobile OTT offering, myTV Super Basic Pack and its Premium Subscription video-on-demand service -- worth HK$380 a month -- will be made available free of charge to new and existing 4G subscribers of 3 Hong Kong, the mobile arm of Hutchison Telecom, for a year from Wednesday.

“Our smooth and stable network, together with abundant bandwidth from our 4.5G network, provides the capacity needed to build an OTT service platform, so we are now ready to carry all kinds of dynamic mobile apps,” Hutchison Telecom chief operating officer Jennifer Tan Yuen-chun said.

OTT applications deliver movies, television shows and other video content over the internet, bypassing traditional commercial distribution via terrestrial broadcast, cable or satellite network operators.
