For confused readers: the "South running tunnel" normally goes from
France to the UK, i.e. North, and the "North running tunnel" normally
goes from the UK to France, i.e. South.

It would seem more logical to have both countries serve both tunnels or,
failing that, change from one to the other at the midpoint.

Also, while the French will cover their tunnel _before_ the Olympic
Games, the Brits won't cover theirs until _after_ the Games--missing out
on huge potential revenues and frustrating customers.

I have trouble accepting the accuracy of a press release that describes
mobile phone service as "wi-fi", a trademark for the IEEE 802.11 family
that has _nothing_ to do with GSM.
