Samsung Electronics bought a non-exclusive manufacturing license, and Ausralia's INC Communications will set up a pilot network. Using Israeli military technology, the device may be superior to Motorola's two-way pager, which relies on a single fixed channel and requires immediate response to a page. Anti-theft devices and other services may follow.

Drawing the line: political cartoonist takes aim at China's communist elite
Article Abstract:
Zunzi is Hong Kong's preeminent political cartoonist, thanks to a cinematic style and a willingness to challenge China with wit and courage. The 39-year-old's work appears in the Chinese-language publications 'Ming Pao' and 'Next,' as well as other forums. His basic message is that China must confront corruption and improve human rights to reach its modernization goals. Although his wife, a journalist, has lost work for being equally outspoken, he shows little fear of the coming rule of China in Hong Kong.
