That's what I am arguing ... NBC pays for the coverage,
and pays, and pays. The other national broadcasters get it for
a pittance. Remember that there ARE only two or three
other HD broadcast countries: Australia, Korea, Japan, and (Taiwan?).
Australia is 50Hz. What about the others? Europe does not count:
it doesn't do HD.
