SHANGHAI, China, Jan. 9 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- T-Bay Holdings Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TBYH - News) announced that T-Bay Holdings Inc. and MediaTek Inc., Ltd. (''MTK'') (TSEC: 2454), a leading chipset solution provider based in Taiwan, have entered into a partnership agreement to jointly develop multi-media Global Systems for Mobile Communications (GSM) handsets for the mobile telecommunications market in China.

We intend to continue working with existing chipset providers, but to also expand our strategic partner base by commencing work with MTK to further diversify our product line.
