Here in Canada, both the CBC and TSN (The Sports
Network; Canada's version of ESPN) are broadacsting live Olympic coverage.
Many Americans who live close to the border, in Buffalo, Detroit, Washington
state, upstate New York, and northern New England (or wherever the CBC is
offered on cable) are watching CBC.
Why don't the BBC come clean: the restrictions
on Real Audio streaming weren't imposed by the IOC, but by NBC and the
billion dollars that they pumped into the IOC's coffers for the US broadcast
rights.

coverage from and Aussie point of view
Hi Hard-Core-DX List,
Your may be interested in this article from the
Australian Finacial Review on an Aussies view of NBC's Olympic
coverage. Shortwave gets a short mention in para 8.
For those of you still coming to the Olympics
some answers to FAQ's.
1. Yes you can get fresh milk every
day.
2. Yes Australia does have ATM's
3. No you can not see Kangaroos in Sydney's main
street.
Cheers
