  Kong with Wi-Fi access. Their plan is to have over 3,000 hotspots
  blanketing Hong Kong by July 2007.
• Y5 Zone provides 1-, 5-, or 30-day unlimited usage passes.
  These are perfect for travelers, friends, or family who are visiting
  Hong Kong.

HSDPA (what is HSDPA?)

PROVIDER	COST
1. CSL 1010 (link)	150MB: $268/month Unlimited MB: $538/month
2. SmarTone (link)	100MB: $188/month Unlimited MB: $488/month
3. Three 3G/Turbo3G (link)	100MB: $198/month 500MB: $288/month Unlimited MB: $488/month

HSDPA Comments:

• Three has the most options available and flexibility: 2, 5, 50, 100, 500, and unlimited MB packages. Their EasyPlus Data plan is also very reasonable if you should go over the alloted bandwidth — i.e. you won’t be charged an arm and a leg!
