The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

The Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation Limited ("HKIRC") will officially launch the all- Chinese .hk domain names, i.e. "[Chinese-character].香港" (.hk in Chinese), to replace the currently used "[Chinese-character].hk" (.hk in English) domain names as early as May 31, 2011.

The official launch of the all-Chinese .hk domain name will span all seven categories of domain names available in Hong Kong, namely, .香港 (.hk), .公司.香港 (.com.hk), .網絡.香港 (.net.hk), .組織.香港 (.org.hk), .教育.香港 (.edu.hk), .個人.香港 (.idv.hk) and .政府.香港 (.gov.hk). Applications will be open to anyone on a first-come, first-served basis.
