Francis Fong Po-kiu, honorary president of the Hong Kong Information Technology Federation, said many people still think the new cap of registrable SIM cards is not enough, while telecom operators may have to provide SIM cards with more data usage and longer expiry date.
"I believe mobile operators will think about whether to provide some prepaid cards with bigger data usage so people will not need to buy so many cards," Fong said.
"Instead of the current 30GB or 50GB data, they may consider providing cards with 100GB or 200GB so people can use the card for a longer time."
He also said mobile operators will need to spend money to set up an eKYC system for authentication, which some virtual banks have been using for people to open a bank account.
But he said that a loophole has been found in the system recently as scammers cheated a bank of more than HK$3 million last week by using other people's information with their own faces to make forged IDs.
