Chinese pandas to get broadband

Chinese pandas are set to have the honour of getting broadband in their natural habitat. As the Tehran Times http://www.tehrantimes.com reports, China's largest nature reserve in the mountains of southwest Sichuan province has been wired up to broadband. The great digital leap forward at the Wolong Giant Panda Nature Reserve www.giantpandabear.com/DHTML/wolong.html is aimed at panda protection. Researchers will be able to process real-time data on the pandas, including photos and video signals, at any time and at any given corner of the nature reserve. They can also observe giant panda cubs on a daily basis without having to step out of their offices, according to Xinhua.
