One thumb, two thumbs, whatever. As far as Diary's concerned it's
the dancing equivalent of having two left feet.
Here we have Hong Kong's telecoms conglomerate PCCW giving itself the
thumbs-up - probably not for its battered performance on the stock in
the past few months. Still, PCCW feels it more than deserves it because
as its ad proclaims: "We're good because we give more out." Not sure
stockholders will agree with PCCW's own assessment.
Going one better is rival NewT&T. It's shown some rarely seen cheek in
Hong Kong's normally staid and stiff business world. Spoofing its
competitor, NewT&T happily printed collateral for a conference, showing
itself out-thumbing its fixed line competitor. Thumbs-up to New T&T.
