China Mobile opens internet cafe on Mt. Everest ahead of Beijing 2008

But if People's Daily Online has got it right it wasn't set up just so mountaineers could post photos of themselves on Facebook. Instead the internet cafe was set up to provide mobile and web services to government officials working with the Olympic torch relay team at Mount Qomolangma in Tibet.
The Olympic torch is set to be carried to the top of Mt Everest sometime this month in what is being billed by the Chinese authorities as the highlight of the thus far controversial torch relay leading up to Beijing 2008.
