Beijing Offers Free Wireless During Olympics
During next month's Olympic Games, Internet users should be able to enjoy free wireless access as the "Wireless Beijing" project began its trial phase earlier this week. By 2009, 90 per cent of Beijing should be equipped with free wireless as the sole provider, CECT-Chinacomm Communications, is building up to 9,000 access points in public areas and 150 WiMAX stations. If everything goes according to plan, the citywide wireless network will be completed in 2010.

 

Fraport Eyes Kunming Airport Deal
The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Yunnan province has reportedly signed an MOU with German airport operator Fraport AG on strategic cooperation for the new Kunming airport. Fraport - which also plans to invest into Xi'an airport - will provide marketing and capital investment management expertise to the new airport. The Civil Aviation Administration of China intends for the new Kunming airport to become a major domestic hub airport, connecting China to southeast and south Asia. It is targeted to become China's fourth-largest international airport.
