NBC To Live Stream Olympics Event

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday February 25, 2006 @01:35PM from the more-please dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to Broadcasting Cable, NBC is going to stream the gold medal Men's hockey game live on the NBC Olympics web site. This is in preparation for (hopefully) many more live feeds throughout the year. The video stream will have DRM and IP protection to attempt to limit access to residents of the US, like the other event video on the site. With the stream served by Akamai's CDN, it will be interesting to see if it can sustain the load. The game starts around 8:00am EST on Sunday, Feb 26 if you are interested in checking it out."

The CBC is covering it as always...and doing a damn fine job as always.

Dutch television has free streaming at http://www.nos.nl/gfx/winterspelen2006/live/index. html. Not hard to figure out the schedule below either, even if you don't speak dutch.
