Olympic committee tells China to keep Internet open during Beijing Games

Inspectors for the International Olympic Committee have told Beijing organizers that the Internet must be open for the duration of the 2008 Olympics.

The Internet is routinely censored in China, but Beijing is committed by its "host city contract" to provide the estimated 30,000 media expected for the Olympics the freedom to report as they have at previous Games.
