[July 31, 2007] Tianjin to Build Itself into A Wireless City Tweet (SinoCast China Business Daily News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) TIANJIN, August 01, SinoCast -- Tianjin has gained approval from the Ministry of Information Industry (MII) to establish a wireless broadband network in the Binhai New Area, an effort to build itself into the country's first wireless city, reported local media on July 31. Tianjin, a fast-growing coastal city located in East China, has benefited a lot from not only governmental organs but also local enterprises during its information construction in the past few years. The city, which has been selected as one of the world's seven intellectual cities last year, has won its long-standing reputation in the world for its booming economic development and sound investment environment. MuniWireless, a premier conference for the promotion of the city wireless industry, will be held in China this year for the first time. The event, which provides an excellent chance to bring industry giants such as Nokia, Huawei and Intel together, has chosen the eastern Chinese city as its first stop.
