City plans to recycle 2010 Asiad technology

GUANGZHOU: New computers and hi-tech equipment bought especially for the 16th Asian Games will be put to use after the event to boost the city's digital development, organizers said yesterday.

In an effort to make the most out of hosting the 2010 Asiad, the Guangdong provincial capital will reuse facilities in "rural areas, residential communities and the sports sector", revealed Rao Jian, the deputy director of IT and telecommunications for the Games.

"In the current economic situation, we will not look for expensive facilities, thereby keeping within the principal of saving money," he said.
