China launches new interactive broadband network
A new broadband information network, 3TNet, integrating telecom, Internet, radio and TV, and capable of offering state-of-the-art video on demand services, has been introduced in many regions in China.
After being tested in the Yangtze River Delta, 3TNet is now in operation in many regions, according to the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST).
The project will enable Chinese netizens to enjoy interactive broadband and rich media services at speeds of 41 Mbps. For most Chinese families that have access to broadband, average speeds are currently less than 10 Mbps, according to MOST.
