The Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) is inviting the public to participate in choosing a common brand for free Wi-Fi services in Hong Kong.
“The Government is collaborating with the industry to set up a common brand for promoting the Wi-Fi services that are provided either completely free of charge or free for a limited period of time by the public and private sectors in Hong Kong,” a spokesman for the OGCIO said.
The Wi-Fi brand, with a common brand name and a unique identity, is envisioned to make it easier for the public and visitors to identify the free Wi-Fi hotspots in the territory, and enhance Hong Kong's position as a highly connected city.
The OGCIO has provided a total of five brand identities for the public to vote for online, all of which use the name Wi-Fi HK.
"The common Wi-Fi brand is meant for every Hong Kong citizen. So we hope to engage the public in the selection process," the spokesman added.
Members of the public can select their favorite brand identity by casting their vote on the OGCIO website.
The public voting is open until 6 April
