The U.S. and Japan have refused to accept the job because they lack Chinese language operators and because the investment is too large. Singapore is also unwilling because of the large investment. It is hoped that the Hong Kong Cable and Wireless company will continue to act as intermediary, but there has been no certain response.
其中，美國及日本以缺乏華語人才而且投資金額過於龐大等理由拒絕受理，新加坡也以投資過大不願承辦，香港大東電報公司，則目前仍與大陸洽辦中，尚無確定答覆。
