Mobile web junkies, London 2012 will be the place to go. Not only will you have thousands of athletes from across the globe competing for the gold, but fresh, speedy WiFi to boot. This comes from London’s mayor, Boris Johnson himself. According to the good mayor, by 2012 tourists and inhabitants alike can expect wireless access points in every light post, street sign, bus stop, etc., etc come games time.
