Getting good news on the Beijing Olympics is a tough challenge nowadays, but we might have one here. Danwei reports that citywide free wireless access might be available in Beijing until after the Beijing Olympics. The system is not yet working at the Danwei offices, but there is still hope:
June 25 is first day in the test phase of the 'Beijing Wicity Project' which aims to provide citizen's wireless internet access in much of downtown Beijing. According to the news, the wireless internet service will be free until after the Olympics games. Beijing Wicity is a CHINACOMM (中电华通) project. Initially they aim to cover around 1 million square kilometers: much of downtown Beijing including the area along the second and third ring roads, CBD, Financial Street, Zhongguancun district.
