About This Item
Hong Kong: Communications Association of Hong Kong, 2007. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/fine. Although Hong Kong today is a leading telecommunications hub, it has not always been that way. The author with the help of over a hundred interviewees, with a length of experience in the industry, manages to record the ups and downs, false starts and triumphs from the introduction of the telegraph in the 1870s to the hosting of ITU Telecom World, the international industry's premier event, in 2006. Very Good Hardback in a Fine Dust Jacket. The text is in Chinese and English 200 pages with many black and white and colour photographs. Weight: 1.5 kg Post free within Malaysia, but may incur additional charges when posted elsewhere. A front end paper has been removed and there are minor signs of damp on the end papers. Otherwise the book looks new.
