Mobile Phone Blackout Warning For London Olympics



The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has warned of mobile phone reception problems at next year's Olympic Games in the city.

He says the networks may not be able to cope with the huge numbers of people using mobile devices:
“We are doing a huge amount of work to ensure there is enough coverage.
“But we have got to be realistic, in the men’s 100m final people want to download huge quantities of data which will put a massive strain on the networks. We are looking to install enough masts and have enough physical infrastructure and coverage for the huge demands, I am confident we will crack it.”
