Read more.Portable Wi-Fi 3G hotspots are banned at Olympics venues.
If I was at the olympics i'd just switch my wifi hotspot on when im not using it. They are trying to regulate wifi? Surely a human rights abuse!
They've done similar with photos, banning all interchangeable-lens cameras from the venues (yes, even the little APS-C Panasonics et al) unless you part with many megabucks for a press pass.
Im sorry thats complete rubbish
I have been to 3 events so far including Diving at the aquatics center Archery at Lords and Shooting at the Royal Artillery barracks
You are allowed any camera with an change able lense as long as it is under 30cm.
I took a D300s with a 70-200mm on it measuring 27cm and it was fine, I didnt have a single problem anywhere.
If you look at the rules for cameras it clearly states must be for personal use and that equipment must be under 30cm with no tripods
Pman
So people can't wait a couple of hours to upload when they get home? LOCOG would cause an uproar if they actually enforced this.
As for no 3G tethering, why not just use the phone's camera and connection?! Though if you need one in an emergency, remember that 90% of people don't change the default HTC password of 1234567890
My mate from the army was happily snapping away pics and posting them on the internet; loophole!
So, once an Olympic Wi-Fi policeman finds a culprit, what next ? Fine or a EMP shockwave ?
Whatever next? The smell police? Fashion Police? Sounds like modern day window tax to me!
We wouldn't want to stop British Telecom from making more money, would we?
'Sorry 'Officer', I'd forgotten I had it turned on'
You could argue that you are doing it as a protest against BT's monopoly.
That is one of the craziest looking wifi devices I've seen. Looks like its going to fire a really rubbish giant spear at someone.
