RSS feedsThe London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics has selected BT as its communications services provider, to support a £2bn event fit for the digital age.
BT will provide and manage voice and data networks, land-lines, internet access and communications services for athletes and staff across all venues.
The Olympics will be a digital event and BT has a key role to play in creating it, said London 1012 organising committee chairman Sebastian Coe.
“We have a wonderful opportunity to stage a 'Digital Games' in 2012 and BT will be integral in helping us do that," he said.
"Technology and communication is going to be a vast operation, starting now and taking us all the way through to games-time."
The contract allows BT exclusive marketing and usage rights to the London 2012 logo within its sector.
BT joins four other tier one partners and a two tier supporter in sponsoring the Games.
