Customs clearance between Hong Kong and the Mainland is in sight. For grassroots people or those who do not have a smartphone to install "Travel with Peace" and download the "Hong Kong Health Code", the Bureau of Innovation and Technology revealed last week that it is studying the gift of smartphones and data cards to those in need.
It is understood that the Hong Kong Jockey Club has begun to contact major telecommunications companies to discuss the gift of mobile phones and data cards. It has initially received positive support from at least four telecommunications companies. More news will be released as soon as mid-to-late this week.
However, some people in the social welfare sector revealed that for most grassroots, especially the elderly, to "travel with peace of mind," the number of mobile phones may reach 200,000. Before traveling with Anxin, there is little chance of launching it, but I am happy to see the relevant arrangements: "If you want to register and distribute our (non-governmental organization) helper, you may need more than one. No one has contacted us at the moment." According to mobile phone news, the Jockey Club responded to "Hong Kong 01" and stated that it would not comment on individual funding projects.

According to the news, there is no specific timetable for the donation plan. In response to the epidemic, many schools have switched to online teaching. The Hong Kong Jockey Club has cooperated with non-governmental organizations to launch the "Learning at Home Internet Broadband Support Program". "With the support of telecommunications providers, free mobile data bandwidth is provided to primary and secondary school students so that they can learn online during the suspension of classes, including providing mobile data cards to families living in subdivided houses, old buildings and remote areas. There will be a tacit understanding with telecommunications companies and non-governmental organizations.
Expect more content after the meeting this week
It is reported that the Jockey Club recently started contacting a number of suppliers. The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust Fund purchased smartphones and data cards, which were then registered, approved and distributed by non-governmental organizations to those in need. Initially, four telecommunications companies are willing to help. There is even a rumor that this Thursday, restaurants and other listed premises must be mandatory to use peace of mind before and after a new announcement.
However, since it takes time to discuss the details of the gift form, mobile phone model, town and quantity, etc., we need to meet within this week to have more content.
