And I will not be using the President's time frivolously...
...industry in China in which players interact with each other via the Internet in a virtual world of dragons, maidens and sword fights. Chen has bought majority stakes in Sina, the country's largest portal, and a host of other online gaming companies. Next up, Shanda, in collaboration with Intel, hopes to introduce a set-top box that will enable users to access everything from news, music and movies to games and online auction sites. Currently, only 20 million Chinese own computers, but 330 million have TVs. Will interactive TV catch on? "The Chinese are very fast learners," he says...
