Does seem like a possible lost revenue stream though. I'm not getting cable. I would maybe pay $50 for all access streaming pass for the Olympics - ty97 Jun 28, 16:43 4
- yeah, an all acess pass would make sense....nm - x Jun 28, 16:46 3
  - I have no idea what the right price point would be and perhaps NBC's current cable provider contracts don't allow it - ty97 Jun 28, 16:48 2
    - the problem with Olympics is they're essentially paying half a billion for maybe 20% of must-see events - gerald Jun 28, 16:51 1
      - That's why you sell the streaming package as all or nothing - ty97 Jun 28, 16:53
did i ask them to? - gerald Jun 28, 16:43 5
- aww, victimized...nm - x Jun 28, 16:49 4
  - even dipshit England broadcasts all the games for free over the air -- nm - gerald Jun 28, 16:52 3
    - not really free, since citizens have to pay an annual license fee to the bbc....nm - x Jun 28, 16:56 2
      - i'm more than willing to sit through NBC's crummy ads - gerald Jun 28, 16:58 1
        
        maybe whining about it will help...nm - x Jun 28, 17:06
