Seems pretty strange that he can't just hop on 4G, they had that the last time I was in London. It'd be pretty surprising if they were actually jamming wireles

It'd be pretty surprising if they were actually jamming wireless networks, but I guess that's what these tweets have to be implying.
- wbhart 10y agoWouldn't it be easy to intercept 4G, e.g. by setting up a fake 4G cell. Anyway, their previous tweets state that contingency plans have been enacted, which surely implies they've set up something alternative.

There are very good reasons that modern embassies often have countermeasures against signals being transmitted into and out of them (including sometimes being constructed as faraday cages), except for those controlled by the government the embassy represents.
