Wharf T&T Limited (Chinese: 九倉電訊有限公司), is, as of 2010, the second largest fixed line telecommunication operator in Hong Kong.
A member of The Wharf (Holdings), one of the largest conglomerates in Hong Kong, it was formerly known as New T&T Limited (Chinese: 香港新電訊有限公司) and Wharf New T&T Limited (Chinese: 九倉新電訊有限公司).
Established in 1995 as New T&T Limited, it was one of the first telecommunication operators to be offered a fixed line license after the Hong Kong Government decided to open this market to competition;Cable & Wireless Hong Kong Telecom had heretofore enjoyed a monopoly. The next year New T&T Limited was offering IDD service and residential fixed-line services.
Making its first net profit in financial year 2001, it was soon after renamed Wharf New T&T Limited.
Another name change, in 2003, yielded Wharf T&T Limited.
By 2006, the company decided to differentiate its offerings by providing some services through a different unit; Wharf T&T would focus on business clients and subsidiary i-Cable Communications, residential ones.
In 2007, it founded Wharf T&T eBusiness Limited, a subsidiary that delivers broadband applications and web applications to SME customers.
