Mount Everest climbers need not to worry about calling people below (technically speaking), since China Mobile had set-up cell sites along the path of future Everest trekkers. Employees of the said mobile company said that they had a hard time setting up the cell sites since only a small amount of oxygen is present as they go higher the world’s tallest mountain. Olympics 2008’s host is Beijing, China and the Olympic committee is planning on having the longest Olympic torch relay in the history of Summer Olympics—they plan to bring the torch up there, at Mount Everest’s peak. Good thing cell sites have been installed since it would practically take days and/or weeks to climb the tallest mountain!
