Based　on　theory　regarding　mobile　communication　in　general,　this　essay　relates　the　experiences　of　migrant　workers　from　both　rural　and　urban　areas　in　Fuzhou,　who　used　mobile　phones　to　stay　in　contact　with　the　Beijing　2008　Olympic　Games,　to　how　these　contacts　supported　and　encouraged　migrant　workers　to　persist　in　gathering　Olympic　Games　information.　In　other　words,　does　the　relationship　between　demographics　and　knowledge　about　the　Beijing　2008　Olympic　Games　differ　according　to　the　use　of　mobile　phones　among　migrant　workers?　Results　indicate　that　television　became　the　primary　source　of　Olympic　Games　news　for　migrant　workers,　but　actually　with　few　advantages　as　the　respondents　considered　the　mobile　phone　as　their　second　source　of　information.　Given　the　higher　than　average　mobile　media　penetration　rate　among　the　sample　of　migrant　workers　and　their　information　expectations,　we　cannot　ignore　the　mobile　phone＇s　impact　as　a　channel　for　information　and　public　services.　This　essay＇s　focus　is　also　on　how　the　government,　the　official　press　and　service　providers　(China　Mobile　and　China　Unicom)　appreciated　the　mobile　phone　as　a　means　of　spreading　the　Olympic　Games＇　influence,　making　it　possible　for　a　large　majority　of　people　to　enjoy　the　Olympic　Games,　and　popularizing　knowledge.　©　2010　Taylor　&　Francis.
