Glastonbury

For the uninitiated, the UK's Glastonbury Festival is one of the largest music festivals in the world, which nowadays means it is one of the most data-hungry festivals too. Even with that in mind, this year's event, which ran for five days last week, was something of a data blowout.

This year, high tech meets the bucolic at the Glastonbury Festival as visitors are greeted by a herd of life-sized, glass-fiber cows that double as free Wi-Fi hotspots to keep festival-goers connected.

European Telco Orange is showing off an interesting phone charging prototype – a set of Wellington Boots with a ‘power generating sole’ that converts heat from your feet into electrical power to charge your battery-powered handhelds.

Orange and Gotwind join forces for the third time to showcase their latest outdoor charging solution at this year's Glastonbury Festival – the Orange Power Pump.
