Mega Broadband in Hong Kong
-- -

One of the most distinctive regions in the world, Hong Kong—which translates to "fragrant harbor"—is comprised of 262 islands, with the Pearl River Delta to the east, and the South China Sea along its western and southern edges. In addition to its unique geography, the region also enjoys a high degree of autonomy from the Chinese government, with its own police force, legal system, customs policy and even monetary system.

Its lush landscapes and booming economy make the region ideal for tourists, who've come to appreciate both the dizzying array of skyscrapers in the financial districts and the hilly mountains that have left some territory undeveloped. Since the region has the greatest concentration of corporate headquarters in the Asia-Pacific region—its Pacific Place is one of the largest downtown commercial centers in the world—business travelers have been zipping into buildings around Causeway Bay and Victoria Harbour with increasing frequency, stopping in for meetings inside corporate centers like the Bank of China Tower, the International Finance Centre, and the HSBC Headquarters Building.

Not surprisingly, in such a powerhouse of economic might, it's easy to stay connected, both within the heart of the financial districts, but also in the region's many retail centers. iPass Wi-Fi is plentiful in a diverse array of locations, from familiar chains like Starbucks, McDonald's, and Haagen-Dazs, to local oyster and sake bars that let you check email while sipping on a glass of Maotai and perusing the day's oyster catch. Whether a trip to Hong Kong takes you along the stunning coast, or deep inside the bustling cities, staying connected is just a few clicks away with iPass.
