Chinacomm, a Chinese carrier, is building a 275-square-kilometer wireless Internet network in the Olympics city, Beijing. 90% 0f the city’s major streets will be covered by Wi-Fi and WiMAX technologies. And China own TD-SCDMA technology is used in favour of the popular 3G.

China also plans to roll out in 10 major cities third-generation cellular networks built on China鈥檚 homegrown TD-SCDMA standard. TD-SCDMA data transmission speeds, however, are substantially below those of rival 3G standards W-CDMA and CDMA2000 and not sufficient to support multimedia applications such as high-quality real-time video.

It will be nice to have a hotspot (everywhere) in Beijing, even in the toilet.
