PC World - Business Center: Beijing Prepares for High-tech Olympics: Jun 12, 4:26am 1 review internet, china, olympics, ipv6, computer-networking
http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/146999/beijing_prepares_for_hig...; FTA - "One technology that will get a run-out, albeit a limited one, during the Olympics is IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6). It does a better job of supporting applications like videoconferencing and high-definition television than its predecessor, IPv4, and offers opportunities for lower-cost construction of security networks and monitoring devices. While time is running out on the number of IP addresses available to the world's Internet users, the problem is localized, so the clock won't strike midnight everywhere simultaneously. For China, which now has the world's largest Internet population, the witching hour for IP addresses could be as soon as 2010 or 2011, according to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. "The deployments of IPv6 around the world are led by what is happening in Asia," said Matt Kolon, vice president of technical operations for Juniper Networks APAC. "Traditionally, IPv6 in Japan has been seen as the leader in deployment and research and development, but China has come on in the last few years.""

PC World - Business Center: With 100 Days to Go, Beijing Faces the Music: May 7, 10:54am 2 reviews internet, politics, china, olympics, ipv6
http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/145542/with_100_days_to_go_beij...; FTA - "This Olympics has set a goal of being a "High-tech Olympics," something that will be completely lost on foreign visitors. They probably won't notice that local mobile-phone service is actually better than in their home countries because they'll be roaming. For people with 3G phones, sorry -- no support for you. You'll have 3G if you were lucky enough to get one of the 15,000 3G phones that Samsung gave to the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG). To the committee, that makes good on China's promise to have 3G for the Olympics, even though it's not available to the public and supports a homegrown Chinese standard not compatible with foreign systems. China invested hundreds of millions of dollars to build one of the world's largest IPv6 networks, but it has little traffic because its use is currently restricted to being an experimental network or for academics. As for the Internet, China promised that it won't block Web sites during the Games. Seeing will be believing. Beijing wanted the Olympics to show the world how far it has come after almost 30 years of reform. It is true: Beijing has come a long, long way, and it should be proud of that. But the world will also see it still has a long, long way to go."

http://www.ipv6.com/articles/general/IPv6-Olympics-2008.htm; FTA - "The 2008 Beijing Olympics is going to experience the widest ever use of broadband and mobility services supported on IPv6 capability. This will make this sporting event a fabulously unique media event that is expected to completely surpass any other event in the use of electronic and hi-tech features. As thousands of engineers, technologists have worked for a significant time to perfect this (IPv6) technology, there is no doubt, this technology brings considerable promises but this is for the first time that it will showcase its strength when in use for such a mega-event."
