Can Beijing get its 3G act together for 2008 Olympics?

With less than 400 days until the opening ceremony on Aug. 8, 2008, Chinese workers and officials appear on track to have everything ready. Everything, that is, except 3G, or third-generation mobile technology. PC World reports.

"China remains one of the few Asian countries without 3G service.

When Beijing won the bid to host the games, officials promised a "High-Tech Olympics" to highlight new technologies and showcase China's economic development. 3G was going to be one of the technologies on display."
