Critical Path Inc (OTC:CPTH), a provider of messaging software and services, announced on Friday (28 March) that Hutchison Telecommunications (Hong Kong) Ltd, a mobile telecomms service operator in Hong Kong and a subsidiary of Hutchison Telecommunications International Ltd (SEHK:2332) (NYSE:HTX), has deployed Memova Mobile, Critical Path's consumer mobile e-mail solution designed for the mass market.

According to the company, Hutchison Telecom Hong Kong selected Critical Path's solution as a cost-effective way to address the mobile e-mail needs of consumers and SME subscribers, to complement current enterprise e-mail offerings.

MMS Email is priced at HKD8.00 to HKD58.00 per month including a two month free trial upon sign up.
