And how that NEVER HAPPENS! Why can't we here in the USA watch The Olympics on Youtube? I have Verizon, which uses Qualcomm's MediaFLO. But I can't watch the Olympics on my phone, because AT&T bought the rights!!!! This Olympics was suppose to be different in that we have more options to watch the Olympics. But so far, that has not been the case at all. Have you ever noticed that in the USA we are “suppose” to be given more rights then other people in other countries? And how that NEVER HAPPENS!

Also that NBC has exclusive rights is just as bad. That is very unAmerican and unnecessary. The Olympics is meant to represent all countries for all people. For a country (USA) that's suppose to be leaders in both Technology and media freedom we should be thinking how to broadcast to the most people possible. This is one of those things that should extend beyond checkbooks. I want desperately to be proud of my country but this type of stuff keeps disappointing me over and over again.
