(Telecompaper) Australian communications provider Telstra has signed an agreement to sell its Hong Kong based mobile business CSL to HKT for USD 2.43 billion. The sale, which is subject to regulatory approval in Hong Kong and HKT and PCCW security holder approval, would equate to proceeds of approximately AUD 2 billion for Telstra's 76.4 percent interest. The sale of CSL is expected to generate a profit on sale of approximately AUD 600 million for Telstra. HKT will also acquire the remaining 23.6 percent shareholding held by New World Development. Telstra said that despite this sale, Asia remains an important part of the company's strategy and that it intends to be in the region for the long term.
