Shanghai Telecom Co Ltd has joined with such overseas firms as Intel, Coco-Cola and D-link to improve the Internet service platform for its Green Power Net Cafe chain, the Laodong Daily reported.
The cooperation agreements signed yesterday include a program for China's 99th official sports program  from China Esport Games (CEG), an environmentally friendly self-service digital printing system, and a sales program for Coca-Cola products at the Net Cafes.
Shanghai Telecom set up the Green Power Net Cafe chain in October 2003 with the first participants of 30 cafes. The chain has expanded to 518, and accounts for 39 percent of Shanghai's total.
Last year, the company invested nearly 10 million yuan (US$1.2 million) to develop a comprehensive Net Cafe administration system and install it at all its cafes, as a way of enhancing its brand image.
