TOM Group Company Description
Since everyone, including Dick and Harry, have Internet firms, TOM Group has moved beyond the Web. The company began with portal Web sites targeting audiences in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan; but after the dot-com bust it moved into publishing (Business Weekly and PC Home), outdoor advertising (billboards, street-level signs, bus bodies), and television (through Chinese satellite channel China Entertainment Television, CETV). The company operates its Web holdings through subsidiary TOM Online. Majority owners include real estate developers Cheung Kong and industrial giant Hutchison Whampoa, both of which are controlled by Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing.
