The organisers spent GBP 500 million on setting up operations as it prepares for the extensive use of mobile technology all throughout the event.

Mobile technology has the power to reach out to the public in a matter of seconds. Smartphones and tablets are the main tools that are used to capture every moment and share it with the whole world. Social networking sites that can be accessed through these devices will update viewers about their favorite games and athletes.
