Beijing is focusing on upgrading technologies for better service for the upcoming Olympic Games next year. The Beijing Municipal Commission of Science and Technology said most of its funds for technological upgrades in 2007 went to Olympic-related projects, the Ministry of Science and Technology Web site reported on Tuesday. The government contracted several research institutes and hi-tech companies to build a multilingual call center for next August's Games.
