The problems technology causes. I found this article interesting Assigning More Olympic Spectrum: A Herculean Task:
Now any city bidding on an Olympics not only will need expensive nifty venues but a huge jump in available wireless spectrum capacity.Just as the athletes have been in training for their events, the U.K. is doing everything it can to prepare for the toll that will be taken on its spectrum during the London 2012 Olympic Summer Games.
Some 26,000 members of the world's media will base themselves in London to cover the Games, making London 2012 the biggest media event in history.
Demand most likely will be fueled by the increasing use of wireless technologies by broadcasters, including wireless cameras and wireless microphones, that will deliver close-up action coverage to the estimated global audience of more than 4 billion viewers.
