- E.J. Krause was actually pleased to report that attendance at its Oct. 26–30 PT/EXPO COMM CHINA 2004 in Beijing was down 14 percent to 300,000, compared with 350,000 in 2002. Additions like an 8-foot security fence, ticket entry turnstiles and improved registration procedures helped weed out unwanted public attendees and tire kickers visiting the 700 exhibitors at the 603,000 square show.
- According to Intl.
