Wi-Fi Hotspots Banned From 2012 Olympic Games [VIDEO]

The Olympic organization has set yet another regulation on the 2012 London games. Attendees will not be allowed to set up personal Wi-Fi or 3G hotspots for Internet use.

It may seem strict, but many question the ability for the International Olympic Committee to monitor such a policy. Since mobile phones are not banned, tethering could be a very real possibility.

This comes on the heels of several other restrictions put into place during the games, including a ban on broadcasting or publishing Olympic video, sound or images on social networks or the "general Internet."

Watch the video above to see what other regulations the London Olympics have set.
