Intrepid hikers and garden-variety Internet addicts now have 4G access on top of Japan's famous Mt. Fuji. Japanese telecom NTT DoCoMo has equipped the 12,388-foot summit with high-speed LTE connectivity. The access will run now through August, the height of the tourist season on the mountain. Fuji has always been among the world's most wired mountains. It has had cell reception since 1999 and 3G since 2005. Mt. Rainier in Washington, Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and lower sections of Mt. Everest also have some sort of wireless coverage.
