No Wi-Fi, Please, Were British: Olympics Will Ban Personal Hotspots
As if the rules at the 2012 London Olympics didn't sound draconian enough, the organization has banned personal Wi-Fi hotspots from the games, thereby ensuring that people will just tether their phones in secret and surf the web like the champions they are. This follows hot on the heels of prohibitions from sharing Olympic news via social media. Can we all just agree that this isn't about sportsmanship anymore and is rather about the host city not getting stuck with a janky Olympic village in the middle of town and instead making loads and loads of money? It's getting to be more like Eurovision.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/HXQXqzL4Ed4/
