How IoT Can Help Develop Africa and African Businesses

Africa is home to some of the fastest-growing economies in the world. However, many businesses and organizations face significant challenges when it comes to growth and innovation. IoT technology has the potential to address these challenges by providing real-time data, increasing efficiency, and improving decision-making.

For instance, IoT can be used to monitor and manage supply chains, reduce energy consumption, and improve the efficiency of manufacturing processes. This can help businesses reduce costs, increase productivity, and improve their bottom line. Furthermore, IoT technology can be used to improve healthcare, education, and agriculture, which can have a significant impact on the development of African countries.

• In line with CKHGT’s “asset light” strategy to improve operational efficiencies while unlocking WINDTRE’s network business’ value
• Creates the first independent wholesale mobile network services provider in Italy
• Improves WINDTRE’s capital allocation and allows WINDTRE to further its strategic focus on core product offerings

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 12 May 2023 – CK Hutchison Group Telecom (“CKHGT”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited, and EQT Infrastructure, part of the global private equity firm EQT, have agreed to form a new company (“Company”) that will provide wholesale mobile and wholesale fixed communications services in Italy.

CKHGT’s Italian mobile business, WINDTRE, will transfer its active network equipment and wholesale mobile and wholesale fixed communications services business in Italy to the new Company, which will be 60% owned by EQT Infrastructure while CKHGT will hold 40%. A board will be formed to oversee the Company. It will consist of four members nominated by EQT Infrastructure and CKHGT (two each respectively) as well as several independents. The enterprise value of the new company is EUR3.4 billion.

WINDTRE will be the anchor tenant of the newly formed Company, signing a long-term service agreement, providing continuity for its retail customers, while benefiting from innovative technologies, cash flow advantages, as well as providing services to its retail customers on a state-of-the-art network. WINDTRE will focus on servicing its retail customers while expanding its revenue streams beyond its core retail offering of fixed and mobile services. CKHGT will benefit from an investment in an independent network business that will be better able to tap into the wholesale telecommunications market and attract B2B customers and IT servicers looking for a partner for their IoT, public network and 5G projects. Furthermore, customers of the new Company will have the assurance of collaborating with a mobile network operator with its own separate management independent of WINDTRE.

“This is part of our Group’s ‘asset light strategy’ for us to recoup the cost of our network investment. At the same time, WINDTRE will benefit from having a partner to own and maintain a state-of-the-art network which will benefit our customers while having certainty on its cost base for OPEX and CAPEX,” said Canning Fok, Group Co-Managing Director of CK Hutchison and Managing Director of CKHGT. “Our partner EQT is a renowned investor in this infrastructure investment space, and we look forward to working with them for a very long time.”

The transaction is subject to certain procedures and regulatory approvals and is expected to close in six to nine months.

Consumers are Fed-up of Unfinished Renovations Cases

With reference to wide-spread media reports, there have been countless cases of incomplete design and construction projects, where customers have nowhere to appeal and pursue the issue in recent years.

Since design and construction projects usually involve engineering expertise, it is difficult for any ordinary consumer to be equipped with the necessary knowledge to understand the project details, cost and charges. Besides, as the industry has a large number of construction professionals, the manual skills and workmanship of different masters may vary greatly. It is now near impossible for customers to judge how to choose the right interior design company that meets their needs and requirements.

While there is room for improvement in the regulatory and supervision mechanism of the design and decoration industry under the Hong Kong laws and regulations, it makes it difficult to put an end to the incidents of unfinished decoration projects and payment disputes, with which the public from time to time suffers from misrepresentation, fraud, and financial losses during a renovation project. Since the amount in dispute is usually higher than $75,000, which cannot be recovered through the Small Claims Tribunal, and must be referred to a more complicated process through the district court for any claimed amount higher than $3,000,000.

However, this will inevitably create another huge amount of legal fees which an ordinary citizen may not be able to afford. As a result, despite of the decoration company’s irresponsibility and deception, many people would have no choice but to settle the dispute through private negotiations and forgo their own legal rights to pursue the matter, while suffering losses in many cases. This has damaged the reputation of the industry and shed the ethical and professional renovation companies in an undesirable light.
