Today is one of those days where I wish I was back in London, especially in Stratford area (well, Leytonstone, to be exact), where I used to live and which will be the hub for the 2012 Olympics. And please, you BBC people, seriously, I’ll pay you good dollars to watch *high-quality* streams of your TV stations…I would have done it for Olympics last year (well, it wasn’t going to happen), Live8, and now this Olympic bid. Please…

Anyway, the UK online media and marketing industry is set to greatly benefit from the news that London has won the 2012 Olympic games, writes Netimperative. Key areas likely to benefit include tourism and travel web sites promoting trips to the UK and London, media web sites covering the run up to the games and the events itself.

And certainly by 2012 online webcasting and IPTV is likely to be mature enough to be a full-blown proposition.
