STAR TV was a joint venture between Hutchison Whampoa and Li-Ka Shing and was established to launch such a service. Li-Ka Shing's son, Richard, was CEO. Considers the background to the satellite TV industry in Europe and the United States, the likely success of such a venture in Asia, and strategic and tactical issues.
