The Whole World is Watching

For the first time ever, thanks to the Internet, the entire world can watch the Olympics.  Thanks to a deal    between the International Olympic Committee and YouTube, citizens of 77 nations that don't have broadcasts of Olympic events will be able to watch 3 hours of the Olympics daily.  In the early days of the Internet we used to say that the "Internet changes everything".  I don't know that this deal will change the Olympics, but the broadband Internet is bringing the Olympics to millions of people who otherwise would have very little access to it.
