The Government's appeal succeeds, as the whole of HKCTV's service did not fall within the Internet Exception.
HKBN (1310) v HKCTV, a subsidiary of i-Cable (1097)
HK Court of First Instance, 12-May-2015
This dispute began in 2000 when iCable started disconnecting HKBN customers from the in-building distribution system. iCable also claimed that HKBN had been making unauthorised interconnections and trespass of its property. In the end, the claim and counterclaim are dismissed.
Secretary for Justice v Hong Kong Cable Television Ltd
HK Court of First Instance, 5-May-2015
The court holds that the Internet, for the purposes of distribution of cable TV, is a set of globally unique IP addresses. If non-unique addresses are used (presumably over a proprietary link to avoid IP conflict) then it is not Internet TV. HKCTV began using unique IP addresses to distribute its signal to buildings in Jul-2008, so it doesn't owe variable licence fees after that. HKCTV is owned by i-Cable (1097).
