The Chinese have decided to make a broadcast of the Olympic Games on the Internet. Earn, at least in part to recoup their costs as a multi-for the Games themselves, and to create all the necessary infrastructure for them. The second objective - to give impetus to further development of Internet technologies in Celestial. The point is that, although China and demonstrates the impressive pace of informatization of society, hundreds of millions of Chinese - mostly in western and south-western regions of the country - are still deprived of such benefits telecommunications civilization as mobile communications and Internet.

In general, the case came from a truly Chinese magnitude. First, the monopoly of lighting the Olympic Games was given to Chinese portal Sohu.com.

Generally in China today, there is considerable imbalance of Technology. Notorious "Chinese miracle" is concentrated in the wealthy and technologically developed coastal areas of east and south. That there are flourishing Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macau. But there is another China. More than 800 million Chinese live in poor agricultural areas west, away from the sea. Yet there is still a beggar and tormented permanent insurrection… Here's Tibet and the Chinese authorities decided to use the Olympics to "smartness" informatization level of western countries to the east. Top Olympic competitions to the west of China is scheduled to pave the lot Fibre cables, give subsidies to local Internet providers, conduct internet in schools. And the planned expansion of coverage for mobile communication operators. In short, after the Olympics we seem to see a very different IT-China.
