The largest media center in Olympics history was formally opened yesterday in Beijing.

The Main Press Center (MPC), accessible to media with official accreditation, holds 971 workstations, a majority of which are "equipped with electrical and network interface features to provide media crews with optimal communication capabilities."

The MPC also boasts a bank, post office and pharmacy, among other amenities.
