Poster: A snowHead
|
The highest mobile phone mast in the world has gone into service at 6500 meters altitude on Qomolangma (Mount Everest). The relay has been built by China Mobile, the largest mobile phone operator in China. The mast will also be used as a relay station when the Olympic flame passes underneath the world's highest mountain in 2008... No information on roaming charges is available but the relay should be a boon to climbing teams who have previously used expensive satellite links.
You can almost imagine the conversation now:
"Hello Bob, I'm on me mobile, where? oh I'm at the summit of Mount Everest, look gotta go its freezin' up 'ere"
