I was sitting in the Dolce hotel close to Brussels last night listening to BBC Radio 5 on the iPlayer. They were broadcasting a special programme focused on South Africa because it is exactly a year until the FIFA World Cup tournament – that’s football, not cricket. The Twenty20 World Cup final is next week in London.
But one of the commentators was reducing expectations on the technology that will be possible, claiming they can’t hope to meet the exceptionally well-organised World Cup in Germany in 2006. However, I thought that FIFA had outsourced the entire technology programme to Satyam.
Ah, Satyam - again. So has the World Cup technology been affected by the collapse of this Indian giant? Maybe someone from Tech Mahindra can give me a call to let me know because there were some serious doubts on the BBC last night…
