invece:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_K._KaoKao graduated from St. Joseph's College in Hong Kong. He then graduated in electrical engineering in 1957 and PhD degree in electrical engineering in 1965, both from Imperial College London[8][9] (at that time a constituent college of the University of London).

http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Kaolavorò come ingegnere alla Standard Telephones and Cables (STC) che era allora uno dei colossi mondiali nella fabbricazione di cavi telefonici (la STC nel 1991 è stata assorbita dalla Nortel).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_K._KaoWhile studying for his PhD degree, Kao also worked as an engineer for Standard Telephones and Cables (STC) at their Standard Telecommunications Laboratories research centre in Harlow, England (now Nortel Networks).

http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Kao:
Nei laboratori della STC inizi? nel 1963 a sperimentare nel campo delle fibre ottiche, convinto che proprio questo mezzo fosse in grado di soppiantare i cavi coassiali in rame, e nel 1966 insieme a George Hockham pubblicò un articolo di importanza fondamentale sull'uso delle fibre ottiche per la trasmissione telefonica: dopo aver dimostrato che la forte attenuazione del segnale nelle fibre era dovuta solo alle impurità presenti nel vetro ed era quindi superabile, Kao fissò in 20 dB/km la massima attenuazione che un cavo in fibra ottica doveva avere per essere praticamente utilizzabile per la trasmissione di segnali telefonici. Quella di Kao fu una sfida che venne raccolta dall'americana Corning Glass che nel 1970 produsse la prima fibra ottica con attenuazione di 17 dB/km; l'era della fibra ottica era iniziata.
In seguito lasciata la STC, Kao fu direttore della ricerca alla ITT, vice-rettore della Università cinese di Hong Kong, e amministratore delegato (CEO) della Transtech. Attualmente è presidente e amministratore delegato della ITX Services. Ha inoltre un incarico accademico al St. Joseph's College di Hong Kong.
invece:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_K._Kao In 1966, along with George Hockham, Kao did his pioneering work in the realisation of fiber optics as a telecommunications medium, by demonstrating that the high-loss of existing fiber optics arose from impurities in the glass, rather than from an underlying problem with the technology itself.[10]
Since leaving STL, he has worked as director of research at ITT Corporation.
He joined the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1970, and served as the university's Vice-Chancellor from 1987 to 1996.[11]
He then worked as the CEO of Transtech. He is currently Chairman and CEO of ITX Services.
