...total probable expenditure on 3G in China - whose 630 million users make up the world's largest group of mobile subscribers - at a whopping $59 billion over the next three years. That bonanza will be virtually the only bright spot in the otherwise gloomy outlook for Chinese and foreign cellular-network-equipment makers amid the global recession...
...Still, further delay was increasingly difficult to justify. With the country's economy slowing, an upgrade of cellular networks is a way to stimulate growth. "These are exactly the kind of shovel-ready projects that [China] can start work on today, where the money you spend has an immediate impact on jobs," says the executive. Beijing officials have said they expect spending to upgrade networks will add between 0.5 and 1 percentage point to the country's GDP growth...
...original. That should improve the crispness of text, images and photos.

In order to show causation, researchers must look into the mechanism of how extracts from cured meats affect bone marrow at the cellular level. “These results need to be confirmed in other studies before doctors can make strong recommendations,” he said. “We don’t want the cured meat and sausage industry on our tails.” Researchers need to conduct long...
