China's Giant Pandas Get Broadband
After reading that headline from Reuters, (and maybe it's just my warped sense of humor in overdrive here,) am I the only person who has imagery of a group of pandas sitting around using laptops or desktops? :-)
China's biggest nature reserve in the foggy mountains of southwest Sichuan province is now wired for broadband. Some might argue that the Wolong Giant Panda Nature Reserve, China's largest, is now ready for the world's first panda internet cafe, but the great digital leap forward is aimed more at panda protection.
Researchers are able to process real-time data on the pandas, including photos and video signals, around the clock at any
given corner of the nature reserve, or observe giant panda cubs on a daily basis without having to step out of their offices."

I was about to get upset. I can't afford broadband at home but PANDAS have it?
