Lee obviously owns stock in Adobe. You know that company that does that animated PDF thing.

I can't view any videos on nbcolympics.com so I really hope no other companies use Silverlight. There is no one supporting it that could help me and no where on the nbcolympics site to go to get help.
NBC should have stuck with proven technology instead of going out on a limb for such an important event.

I am all for it but not the 3-5 timeslot, games arent on telly then so they shouldnt be on the web then as it will reduce attendance at games themselves. All other games though would be great to see on the web but I think it would crack under the bandwidth pressures! Plus they will never do it overseas, just in England. Boo.

Been saying for ages that the Premier League needs to capitalise on the online interest as opposed to supporting unenforceable copyright laws.

The NBC template can be used not just for the premier league but for football anywhere in the world. Uefa are for my money more progressive than Premier League, they could come into this space earlier than anyone else (CL / Uefa Cup online, that should be fun)
