Last week saw 3Com Corp expand its Far East support operation into China when it signed up an off-shoot of Beijing’s Tsinghua University to operate its service and repair operation: there are about 2,500 3Com customers in China, including a couple of ministries and the People’s Daily, who will now look to Tsinghua University Science & Technology Development Corp for support of servers; support for other products will be added as and when demand dictates.
