In two years time, countless millions of people will be glued to their TV sets to watch athletes take part in the Games of the 29th Olympiad in Beijing. FASTTRACK looks at whether the Games, which are widely believed to provide a marketing opportunity to those cities lucky enough to be chosen to host such an event, benefit through subsequent tourism revenue. Plus the team goes behind the scenes at China's first television travel channel, following an announcement by the World Trade Organisation estimating that 100 million Chinese are set to travel abroad every year by the end of the decade.

Plus, as the British government considers relaxing the rules on Wi-Fi signals to enable remote users to wirelessly connect online, the team investigates whether the dream of connecting entire cities seamlessly into a giant Wi-Fi network is now a possibility, and what that means for the emerging technology of WiMAX.
