Li also said neither Hutchison Whampoa nor Cheung Kong (Holdings), headed by his father, billionaire Li Ka-shing, will buy the stake. C&W, which operates the world's third-largest network for Internet service providers, acquired 20.2 percent of CyberWorks after the Hong Kong-based company completed its purchase of Cable & Wireless HKT Ltd. last August. Two months later, C&W sold a 4.9 percent stake in CyberWorks for US$1.3 billion. C&W has the right to sell more of its stake by February and the rest by August.
