"Our company plans to add foreign language services and an international business center ahead of the Beijing Olympics," said Li Gang, Unicom vice president, on Wednesday.

He said the company would provide English, Korean and Japanese hotline services around the clock for foreign subscribers during the August Games and would extend the work hours of its outlets around the Olympic venues.
