CNGI commercial trials on track in China

China is going ahead with the pre-commercial service of its next generation Internet network, a senior government official said yesterday.

The country has built the world's largest next generation Internet demonstration network, which could offer faster and more secure access with bigger network capacity, said Zhang Xiaoqiang, vice-minister of National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).

The commercial network could reshape the country's Internet industry and lay a solid foundation for the information technology sector, he said.
