Multi-Year Deal Kicks Off Global Campaign to Bridge the 'Digital Divide'
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW - News) today announced a far reaching agreement with the China Standard Software Co., Ltd. (CSSC) to establish Sun's Java(TM) Desktop System(TM) as the foundation for standard desktop development and deployment in the People's Republic of China (PRC). The CSSC is a consortium of Chinese technology companies supported by the Chinese government to produce a nationwide standard desktop software system to help bridge the digital divide among the nation's 1.3 billion citizens.

This collaboration is the first step in Sun's global campaign to partner with every nation and to help bring an open, affordable and secure desktop to users worldwide. Countries such as China, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Israel and India are driving programs and incentives to improve their IT infrastructures and incorporate technology into government agencies, educational systems and to domestic regions where economic barriers have limited technological growth. In an effort to accelerate these initiatives and quickly bridge this "digital divide," Sun is embarking on a program to partner with these nations through the Java Desktop System.
The CSSC and Sun Microsystems technology licensing agreement will pave the way for the CSSC to deliver its own branded desktop products using the Java Desktop System as the foundation for its desktop standards, subject to export approval from the U.S. government. The PRC plans to ultimately install at least 200 million copies of an open-standards-based desktop solution throughout the country. Starting with approximately 500,000 to one million seats per year, the multi-year agreement is planned to start at the end of 2003.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
