From Streaming Media:
"NBCUniversal will stream every event in every sport of the 2012 London
Olympics. But if you want to watch online, you'd better be a cable,
satellite, or telco subscriber."

"Judging by the NBCOlympics.com subscriber access requirement, NBCUniversal
is using the 2012 London Olympics to push viewers to its many television
properties. The vast majority of these properties are only available on
cable, satellite, and telco carriers."
No real surprise but at least somebody said it.
The article also speaks to control of internet streaming for these kinds of
products. I think trend will continue and even the PC will be cut off from
programming that was previously enjoyed for free.
