Time for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. The opening ceremony will start tomorrow morning but some of the games has already started, like man and woman soccer. The team man China tied the game with New Zealand, the weakest team in the same group. However, they scored the first goal ever in team China's soccer history. So I really wanted to see how they did it. But unfortunately, even with the Wired's Watch the Olympics Online, I wasn't able to watch it. After trying for over 1 hour, I gave up.
Apparently, every country only has one major television company granted for distribute the news for Olympics. I used to just watch all sports games on Sina Sports. But due to the agreement signed with Olympics' committee, it only opens to local users, not the users overseas like me. NBC is awesome too. It has tons of Videos on the site free to watch but again, only restricted to US residents. CBC is the one for Canadian, but sadly, I couldn't locate a piece of Video on the site for me to watch. Really sucks. All they have are the stuff that I can easily read or find from other places. Too bad, I never missed a free fast Proxy service that much, and the first time ever I even want to be in the states.
Hopefully, as the games start, everything will be turning better and better on CBC.

Another thing CBC didn't do it right and on time is the lack of mobile version on their website for the mobiles while NBC has one that fits my iPhone smoothly.
