Right - but what does that have to do with banning personal hotspots? The guidelines clearly say you can bring your phone along.
The liquids thing is because Coke is their Official Carbonated Beverage Sponsor.
There's nothing in there saying you can't bring 100ml of Pepsi ;-)
Not true, here's the sample menu from London 2012 that illustrates what will typically be available at venues inside the olympic park:
Bottled water – £1.60
Fairtrade tea – from £2.00
Fairtrade coffee – from £2.60
500ml bottle of Coca-Cola – £2.30
330ml bottle of Heineken – £4.20
London 2012 red wine 18.7cl – £4.80

Definitely overpriced, but Coke isn't the only option.
Well, that's a different argument from the one that coke is your only option ;)
Can't say that I like these sponsorship deals enforcing things like this though. Going to a festival? Flat Carlsberg it is!
> that coke is your only option
Admittedly the tag line needs some work, but with a good enough Logo it will sell.
It's not good for you, but it tastes a whole lot better.
Paris is much worse. The same 500ml bottle will cost you $5.33 at Charles de Gaulle Airport.
I have a flat in London, but I'm staying away for the whole of the Olympics. I'm ashamed of the whole thing. "At this unprecedented time of War, Crisis and Recession. Your Dear Government offer you to enjoy the International Games. But you must Be Cautious at all times. Our Security Services and Army will try to ensure that you are not killed while watching the shot-put."
Rather expensive for a cup of hot water. Does that price include a teaspoon of fairtrade sugar and a dash of fairtrade milk or cream?
Then again, its not very fairtrade for coffee farmers/producers to get 60p more for their product than tea farmers/producers. Wonder how much of that excess markup the farmers actually end up seeing.
