Olympic family of athletes as well as the world's media. It must be
ready a year early for 12 months of testing of the venues, when dummy
sports events will be staged. That is because, unusually for an IT
contract, there is no scope for delaying the final delivery date.
The IOC's big partners, such as Omega, the timekeeper, have long-term
contracts. Some are new this time, including Cisco, the internet
equipment maker, which has replaced troubled Nortel. Many more are
picked locally by Locog, the London organising body that will run the
games.
BT is building a telecoms network for the Olympic Park. It will be
capable of carrying six gigabits of information every second — the
equivalent of 6,000 novels.
