Abstract :
"WHAT\´S SO STRIKING to me is that this is the moment when the eyes of the entire world are on London," says Andrew Blum, referring to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. "I don\´t mean that literally. I\´m talking about the fact that people will be turning on their televisions, radios and Internet devices to follow one of the biggest broadcasting events the world has ever seen." With the exception of some of the broadcast feeds that will be via satellite, all of the Olympic news will be coming from a telecommunications infrastructure "dominated by the Internet".
