Distacom is a pioneer in the development of mobile telecommunications operations around the globe, starting in Canada in the 1960s. The company launched its first paging service in 1973 and by 1980 was providing paging services to 30,000 customers in Canada and Hong Kong. In 1984, led by the company's Chairman Rick Siemens, Distacom formed Hutchison Telephone in partnership with Hutchison Whampoa Limited and Motorola to provide mobile phone services in Hong Kong. In 1986, Hutchison Paging was formed by merging Distacom's six companies with 20 others and the same partners created Hutchison Telecom, a Hutchison Whampoa subsidiary. The Canadian paging operation was sold and merged with Bell Canada's to become Canada's first wireless public company. Since then Distacom has gone on to run significant mobile telecommunications operations including Asia, Africa and Europe.
